"I hope my children learn from this and use it, because technology gets a bad rap all the time, and you people have used it for good."
-Christine Zaharko
A guest list of more than 50 cousins was just the beginning...see the fun that was shared in Abington, PA, as our latest family's tech makeover was unveiled!
Missed the Block Party? Never fear - you can still take part in the excitement. See the good times that were had!
We were very lucky to have a special friend of the show come out to the Wurtz family block party last weekend. My Home 2.0 community member Michele Alvaro, of MHA Photography, captured dozens of gorgeous images of the summer fun in Abington, PA....
Saturday, June 7: even though temperatures in the Philadelphia suburbs climbed into the 90s, we still had plenty of cool partygoers turn out for the Wurtz family's tech makeover reveal....
Just because the guys from Bob & Ron's Worldwide Stereo got to go home a little early last night doesn't mean our Techno-Gurus did....
Come to the block party from noon to 4pm today and see what Alison, Lloyd, and Brian were up late creating for the Wurtzes!
Hello World!
Block Party this Saturday at Abbington PA in Roychester Park! Come out and have fun!
Check out our invitation video after the break!

I know I keep saying each new block party just gets better and better, but that's not to say the ones before weren't fantastic, too. It's just that each time, I find myself thinking, "Whoa, that was amazing, how are the Gurus and crew going to top that next time?"
And yet somehow, they do...
This was fun to meet a few of the other families ! ...
I caught up with the Word family's eldest daughter, LaShayna this morning -- she's had a busy week of her own as the Gurus have been working on her home...
As if partying with the Word family, seeing son Lewis perform live on stage, enjoying free food, drink and games weren't enough reasons to head down to the block party today, there are also some amazing prizes...
I caught up with Shane and Aleasa Word on the morning of their block party, just a few short hours before their technology makeover reveal...
Mary and Joe ran a home catering business, and their 3-child household, with an ancient, "haunted" computer...until the Gurus brought their custom recipe for a new home that really cooks!
This talented, 7-person crew is into music, movies, cooking and more. They just need gear that’s as dazzling as they are!
This Delaware couple proves that "retirement" is not synonymous with "slowing down." Gurus, give this active pair the speed they need!
Three adopted Russian kids got plenty of love...just not from their tired old laptop. Now they've each got state-of-the-art spaces to study and play, and a cozy home theater for family time.
Joelle put her dance dreams on hold to help her new family's business. Now she's found a whole new groove, with a FiOS-powered home office and dance studio...and a life-changing, high-tech home health club for the boys, too!
Dad Jerry and 6-year-old daughter Julia play music together as The JBJBs. Mom Susan designs one-of-a-kind jewelry in her home studio. Thanks to a revved-up digital playground, the only limits now are their imaginations.
Christine and Jay had one TV and one computer for all nine of their kids. Now they've got a massive data center with networked PCs to handle all those school papers and projects. Oh yeah, and a drive-in movie theater...in their basement!
Dad Scott used to drive his kids to the office to download important emails. Now his real estate business comes to him in his networked home office...when he and his wife aren't too busy reliving their rock-n-roll youth 2.0-style, that is.
