Joy of Gadgets

Yes, this headset from In Store Solutions is that good. It’s also surprisingly affordable at just under $23 shipped to your door from the Skype store! I’d be buying one right now if I didn’t get a review unit.
As a long time user of Skype, I’ve used many a headset over the years. You want [...]

As I was reminded by Rob Wolpov, the CEO of Junction Networks when I chatted with him on Wednesday, the last time I wrote about them, I referred to the press release pairing their OnSIP hosted PBX service and the Fring VoIP client for mobile phones as a “publicity stunt.” I didn’t quite say that, [...]

I haven’t done one of these posts in a while–6 weeks to be exact! I am doing three weeks worth here and will get the other three weeks posted later on. That should get me caught up
Meanwhile, I am on the home stretch before vacation, where I won’t be doing much online at [...]

Now that my house is finally starting to cool off from today’s record-breaking heat (about 90F, 32C)–yes, we’re getting air conditioning–I can get around to my weekly roundup post.
I didn’t post as much this week. I’ve spent the past couple of weeks fighting off the various illnesses that the rest of my family seems to [...]

The post list this week:

We’ve come to the end of another week of posts. It looks like I’m going to continue to crank out these posts, mostly because the automated methods to do this aren’t as attractive and, quite simply, don’t work that well.
The post list this week:

Let’s Go Down To The Party Line (From voip.com/blog)

I feel like I wrote too many posts this week. I did a fair amount of cross-posting this week, which ends up being good for my pocketbook. However, I feel pretty spent. I just want to curl up and watch South Park. Especially this episode about Over Logging (On).
Here’s what I got out this week:

Flashphone: [...]

It was nice to be at home after all the VON.x partying last week. Got a couple of new toys–one to play with (Nokia N810) and one to review (a PBX from Talkswitch). I also spent some time cleaning my newly working pinball machine. This evening, I replaced all the rubbers and gave the playfield [...]

I can’t believe how nice the weather has been in Gig Harbor this past week. In the low 50sF (10C+) and, for the most part, sunny. A week of that in a row, that’s unheard of–particularly for February!
Meanwhile, you’ve likely noticed my blog output has been lower over the past several weeks. Part of it [...]

A writer at c’t had asked if they could use my Netscape photo from 1997, pictured left, in their magazine. I gave them permission provided they sent me a copy of the magazine.
Earlier on Saturday, I got a copy of c’t in the mail. Sure enough, there’s the article on Netscape (in German) and [...]
