A strange omen

I have no doubt that my kidlet will travel a similar path to me, although, I figure he will have moments of ethical dilemma... This is a 4 year old normal male child who is firmly ensconced on the couch in the living room, watching the movie Wargames. He LIKES it. I'm sitting there picking apart the technical details, mainly how every key stroke on a computer makes a beeping sound as one types.

My favorite line so far is from the 2 tech guys at the company David visits near the beginning of the movie: "Mister Potato Head! Mister Potato Head! Remember you told me to tell you when you were acting 'rudely and insensitively'? Remember that? You're doing it right now."

What a great movie... a true blast from the past. I also love how the monitors have fluorescent lighting around them. Tres cool.

Back to the kid. Here is the timeline:

• Has own computer - already has one.
• Compiles a kernel - age 6
• Finds a vulnerability - age 8
• Does "something" interesting - age 9
• Becomes a person of interest to FBI, CIA, NSA - age 10.

I guess I should start saving for the lawyer expenses.
