Every two years my extended family gets together for a family reunion in Northern Wisconsin or the Upper Pennisula of Michigan. Last weekend happened to be family reunion time. So, my parents, sister, my 2 year old nephew and I, all piled in a car and drove 12 hours to the reunion. And, yes, you read that right. 12 hours in a car with a 2 year old!

When catching up with family members, it inevitably came up that I worked at a software company. Now raise your hand if you're the one in your family that everyone comes to for tech support or computer questions? I'm that person too! Well, this weekend was no different. Everyone wanted some computer help. In the past, I would try to help out family members via phone or email which isn't always easy and everyone ended up frustrated. But, this year, I'm going to go the Jing route!

So, you can guess what I'll be doing over the next week. I've been given a laundry list of questions and I'll be making screencast answers with Jing. Here's part of my list of screencasts: how do I move my iTunes library, how do I organize my photos, how do I update my antivirus software, how do I... ? And the list goes on. Anyone else using Jing for tech support for their family? What's been their reaction?

And, I'm also compiling the family photos from the weekend into a video slideshow using Camtasia Studio. You can see how to create this here.
