THE DAD:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

My son has a knack for writing, which he got from me. I’m a tech writer.<\/p>\n

I have a friend my age who cries whenever his computer crashes. I’ve seen him roll on the floor crying. It’s usually a matter of rebooting the damn thing. If I\u2019m not home, I send my son over.<\/p>\n

My first cell phone was\u00a0a Motorola.<\/p>\n

THE SON:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I fix computers my dad can’t fix. My customers are old hippies like my dad. They don’t know a web browser from a server. I fix their gear, and then\u00a0haul their shit to the tree lawn. I have hauled couches and other heavy stuff.<\/p>\n

I got the writing bug from my dad. I need to raise $15,000 on Kickstarter to publish a book.\u00a0 Here are some chapter titles: ‘My Dog Browser,’\u00a0 ‘I’m Updating Your Mother’ and ‘Router in the Hole.’<\/p>\n

I like<\/strong> <\/span>going into people’s houses and watching the customers shout with joy when I fix their stupid problems.<\/p>\n

Consider my Kickstarter. I don’t want to live with my dad any longer. This photo from our kitchen says it all:<\/p>\n
