"If anyone in PA would like to move to a FiOS area I can help work that out. Thanks to My Home 2.0 I can do it real fast."
-Scott Kaczor
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!
Family Blog!With blazingly fast upload speeds, Joelle can now post photos and videos to her heart's content. Faraway family and friends can connect online, and experience those special moments in baby Julian's life -- bonding with Dad and the new kitten, singing and seeing his first snow fall. Of course, Joelle captured some dance videos as well, testing out the new studio, and leading an impromptu family boogie at Julian's 2nd birthday party.

The energetic, fun, and FiOS lovin' Irving family is back! Me and my fellow Guru's gave Joelle Irving her dream dance studio right in her house. Since then, Joelle has been planning how she wants to utilize the new space and great new equipment to start back teaching like she did before. I can't wait to improve my already incredible dance skills... ;)
Julian is watching his train that his Dad put up for Christmas. He was so surprised!
Julian and I are having a good time watching Jeremy pump some iron...
The Gurus replaced the Irvings' groggy old computer with a lightning-fast custom office suite (including a setup to convert those old tapes to MP3's.) But the real show-stopper was a professional-grade dance studio, with a 2.0 twist. A ceiling-mounted webcam allows Joelle to record dance videos and upload them to her new website. Studio doors slide away to reveal a networked home gym for Jerry and the boys, complete with a digital health station that tracks real-time data from Jake's new insulin pump.
After three rainy, muddy, chilly days of hooking up the Irving home, the weather couldn't have been more perfect for the big block party...
The Techno-Gurus and their crew all worked really hard, amid many obstacles, to give the Irvings their high-tech makeover. But stuff like this makes it all worthwhile...
Hey! Yue here...had some time to hang out with Julian Irving today, who is one of the smartest almost-two-year-olds I have ever met. Watch him do some sign language!
Between raising a new baby and two teenaged boys, dealing with her stepson Jake's recently diagnosed diabetes, and trying to help husband Jerry get his home contracting business going, Joelle's true passion -- teaching dance -- had to take a back seat. Their clunky, hand-me-down computer made balancing the books practically impossible. And their home entertainment options didn't offer them much escape from the workday, either -- a 1986 cassette tape player for tunes, or a travel-sized DVD player for movies.
While partygoers were still basking in the afterglow of James Earl Jones' silken-voiced chat and wiping artfully-applied body paint off their kids' faces last Saturday, the My Home 2.0 team was already setting its sights on the stars of the next episode -- The Irvings, of Thornton, Pennsylvania...
This family loves football, and mom has a passion for dance. Gurus, let's see your 2.0 moves. Watch it now!
