Michael is a friend of mine. He's also a total geek. And he has a 16 year old son, who is not really a geek. Friend. Geek. Father. What a combination.
After he decided to bond with his son by getting Guitar Hero for the Nintendo Wii, he discovered his son just beat his butt. So he got back by modifying the Guitar Hero and reprogramming it. On behalf of all the fathers around the world who have been beaten by their sons, I salute you, Michael!
Here's is Michael's summary at the end of the web site he created to commemorate his accomplishment: "Thanks to my son Alex for being a great kid. He's SO MUCH BETTER THAN I'LL EVER BE AT THIS AND SO MANY OTHER THINGS. By the way, when he found out what I was doing with his Wii, he commented that this was, by far, the stupidest project he'd ever heard of. He went on to comment that he had NO idea why I would waste my time on this. My answer: I did what I had to do to beat you (which is getting harder and harder as time goes by). Now I can beat you in my sleep. Take that!"
