You lighten up. ;-)

I was not “going after” your kid. Blimey.

It was a joke. A rather dry one, admittedly.

Don't go after someone's kids. I don't care whether you respect me but respect my kid. GenX, I still disagree. All you have to do is work in big media companies to see what it takes to create something and contrast that with what I see among students. With or without the catch phrase, I still see a difference. Oh, and I'm not talking about Gen x. I'm talking about the next wave. You're an old fart now. Welcome to the club.... Benjamin,

GenX,

Give it a rest please!!!!! Yes your son Jake is talented and with your connections and his skills and hard work he should make a name for himself down the line but enough with your constant need to turn out a catchphrase. This isn't the creation generation...it's just a generation with its share of creative people just like all past generations. Besides sorry to burst your bubble but Gen X'ers were the creation generation when it came to the internet. “the creation generation” lol

She's starting at a junior college in a couple of months and I'm hoping she'll be this computer literate since that's the direction of the world today. I'm very envious. I'm able to get around decently and work with mainframe banking software constantly but the pc and Net are not comfortable territory for me. I've been enjoying all your columns, Jeff. It's a fascinating way to see new media ideas since I'm disgusted with the MSM and their rigid ideas of what constitutes news. They have failed us miserably so I've turned to alternative sources online and found a wonderful world of news and ideas - some flaky, but most solid and fascinating. Thanks for providing guidance and links. I passed this one along to my 18 year old niece.

As one of the 2000, just wanted to say WELL DONE JAKE! The old man's got nothin' on you. ;-) My Facebook rant from the other day is here, just in case you're interested. http://www.i-boy.com/weblog/2007/05/facebook-launches-widget-platform.html I mention that capturing the alums business on Facebook is a megabucks idea. Crack that one next, Jake. I know you can do it. ~G~ Fantastic.
