I’ve shied away from going to the movies for the most part for quite some time because I can’t hear well enough and hate to miss the dialogue in a movie. Action flicks aren’t so bad, but dramas? Without the dialogue it’s a horrible experience. A few months ago Mike and I were going to…

Google Voice Widgets! I put one on my Computer Design Graphics web site (down at the bottom for now), and visitors can enter their name and phone number and click connect — it will ring their phone and my phone. Then I have the option of answering or screening their voice mail, etc. I also…

Google Voice

Yipee!! I got my google voice invitation this morning. And I even got a very cool phone number: 405-4CUDNIK. The hardest part was choosing a phone number. One permanent number that I can give out and it will forward to any or all of my phones. I love it! The best part… it’s free! And…
