Gmail

Breean won and got a gmail address before me. I signed up tonight though, for allnet@gmail.com.

This is really ingenious marketing by google. By making it 'invitation only' half the internet has been trying to get an account. People even paid real money for them on eBay.

I also signed up for Skype today. I've run out of cell phone minutes this month and every extra minute I use before 9 pm Pacific costs 40¢ each.

9 pm Pacific is of course midnight Eastern, way past Breean's bedtime. As the household telecom manager I need to investigate cheaper options. Skype is a free voice calling application that runs on your pc, supposedly the sound quality is better than normal telephones.
