POPSJames Brown is Dead - His Music Will Be Timeless! I've been a huge fan of his since my childhood. The only tune I heard until we came to the USA was mono version of "There It Is" and that was more than enough to totally and fully fall in love with his music. In the States I was lucky enough to see him in concert. He's certainly going to be missed :(

POPSVonage meets Record Sage Got Vonage installed today... so far so good. Customer service seems to lack tremendously in the brains department, but otherwise definite upgrade from the old Verizon line. One of the cool features they have is ability to run a piece of software on a PC that allows to call any number from the PC. They claim to have integration with Outlook, but I use Thunderbird, so the only option they described was manual entry. Why would someone enter numbers to dial into a computer instead of the phone itself every time is beyond me. So, I thought that if they had a way to run the little program via the shell interface and allow to pass a parameter (phone) - maybe I could automate it somehow with... Record Sage. That's where the customer service was totally inept in answering a simple question. After reading some online forums it turns out that one can use this program by simply highlighting a number on the screen and pressing their hotkey to call it.

POPSEverything Coffee Since I live in the land of Starbucks, Tully's and Seattle Best Coffee (i.e. Capital of Coffee in the USA) - I figured this was appropriate to clip.

POPSCheaper Gas I was driving the other day and saw a truck advertising this gadget. Not a total solution, but looks worthwhile in the meantime. Apparently it's a simple device that allows savings of $3.00 per tank with a money-back guarantee.
