Crossing the Threshold of Easy
For years, I read about Skype, and enjoyed the concept, though I didnt use it. Didnt have the need for free point-to-point Voice-over-IP, given my calling patterns and calling plans.

Improving FollowFriday, week 2
Apparently last weeks post on Improving Follow Friday struck a nerve, because it was my most-read post - ever - on this blog! Given the amount of people participating, perhaps we should call this Follow Friday 2.0. The point: lets get away from 140-character lists of names, and just focus on one per …
