A Series of Tubes

No, this post isn't about everyone's favorite new political sensation from Alaska!

It's about the latest (and certainly the greatest) way that you all can contact me! Today I bit the bullet and signed up for a Skype subscription, so I can call any line in the U.S. (and also Spain and Singapore!) for free. Which means expect calls to your phones in the near future.

The big bonus is that it also gives me a U.S. number that you all can call, which will then route to my computer, and possibly eventually to my cell phone. You can access this magic by calling:

The bottom line: I now have a U.S. phone number. That's all you really need to know.

This was, of course, spurred on by a complete lack of calls, and a number of emails/text chats with people who "haven't set up Skype yet." This makes it extremely convenient from your end.

However, if you'd like to video chat, or speak completely for free, I'd still recommend getting Skype. You can download it by clicking here; setup takes exactly three minutes. They couldn't possibly make it simpler or easier.

I'm also constantly on Google Chat. I'd recommend getting Google Talk, because it's a Gmail notifier and chat client wrapped up in one. Also, Google Talk supports voice, which gChat through Gmail does not.

Okay, that's enough for now. I look forward to actually speaking with you soon!
