A list of most of the common SMS to email gateways. Great for building a tool that emails people on their cell.
My Vonage account has worked overtime for the last few weeks, with my dad being ill in Malaysia. The cost to call from Florida to Malaysia on my Vonage account was 6¢ a minute compared to $1.75 a minute on the "real" home phone. The difference, when multiplied by the 475 minutes that was charged, is huge. VoIP is the way to go, dump your home phone now.
Best in Show is a faux documentary (mockumentary?) about the Mayflower Dog Show. You follow an eclectic mix of characters and their dogs for several days. It’s by the same people as A Mighty Wind which is filmed in the same style. Waiting for Guffman is another one that I’ll have to check out soon.
For fans of the humor found in The Office, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Seinfeld, Best is Show is a sure winners. Very awkward humor that makes me smile.
