Too many ways to contact people
When I was in college, I thought it was cool to have multiple email addresses; at a time when most people didn't have 1 address, I had at least two, so I put them in my email signature, along with my website and phone number.

Revisiting Rollover Minutes
When I first signed up for AT&T, I wrote that rollover minutes were pretty much a joke. I kept racking up rollover minutes and never used them until last month. I use my cell phone for work and last month I had to be in a ton of conference calls and managed to use up basically all of my rollover minutes! With my anytime minutes, rollover minutes, and then putting the final calls of the month on Ooma, I was on the phone for something like 2200 minutes. That is basically a complete work week on the phone!

Review: Navigon for iPhone
I've written in the past about my poor experience with phone based navigation systems that relied on a network for the maps as well as the routing information. Last summer with iOS 4 released, a new crop of useless navigation applications appeared for the iPhone. With a trip on the horizon where I'd be renting a car, I decided to try out Navigon for iOS as it received decent reviews from users and had all the maps self contained without relying on the network. The navigation apps are all in the range of $25-$50 (or so), so I did a bit of research before plunking down $40 on Navigon's USA edition (it was on sale when I bought it).

Is newer technology better?
With my cordless phones failing, I was on the hunt for a new set of phones. After a bit of hemming and hawing, I got the Panasonic KX-TG7624 4 handset set. The main feature I wanted was the ability to set a different ringtone per caller. The old Uniden set we have (about 8 years old) did this and worked well. We have a bunch of ringers to choose from and we can set them on a per phonebook entry basis. This new Panasonic said Ringer ID was a feature.
