Cheap Telephone Calls or No Cost Calls on the Internet.
Skype is practically useless for non PC terminated calls, i.e. calls to
normal phones. For PC to PC it's fine. For internet-routed calls to
normal phones you need to go with a SIP service as provided by e.g.

The new Cordless DUALphone is the first cordless Internet telephone on the market, using Skype™. It has been developed with you in mind and uses the latest technology, making it easy to install and cheap to use.
The Cordless DUALphone is a cordless telephone that can be connected to a normal telephone socket and a USB port on a PC. The display shows whether your friends who also use Skype™, are online. If they are, you simply have to press the appropriate green button and talk to them for free – no matter where they are in the world.
If their PC is switched off, or you want to call someone who doesn’t use Skype™, you simply press the other green button and call via the standard telephone connection.

H20 Audio explains waterproof case review
H20 Audio has issued a statement attempting to explain a slightly negative Associated Press review of its SV Mini waterproof case for Apple's iPod mini. The company told iPodlounge that the initial round of cases sent out to reviewers was "pulled from a shipment of pre-production units" that "do not have a final housing seal." H20 Audio said these units are "splash proof but possibly not waterproof in an active environment," noting that the final cases are in transit and are expected in the coming weeks. iPodlounge has been testing the preliminary case for some time. We have delayed our review while awaiting representative final product of both the case and its included waterproof headphones.

This review says the ipod mini thing doesn't work! Agh! I've contacted the company to see if they can offer any explanation, the thing is, they've already emailed me to say they've delayed sending them to customers because it didn't reach their quality standards. It looks like what they meant wasn the fecking thing is useless! If they don't come clean, I'll cancel my order.

They way it works is thus: plug the Migo-equipped iPod into a foreign computer and it transforms into your own - your desktop pattern, email, contacts, and files are all there just like home. Pull up Internet Explorer, and your bookmarks and history are all ready to go.

Internet telephony is such a good and simple idea, I really should put a site together on the subject, especially for people in Ireland.

I've always wanted to be able to listen to music underwater, I suppose stuff with watery themes like "underwater love", "Aqua Maria" from Stingray, stuff like that... and now I can.

I'm a fan of Neil Gaiman's novels, so I went back to his graphic novels and greatly enjoyed their mix of fable and his deep knowledge of myths, legends and folklore. Here's a good list of what's part of the Sandman series.

Sunglasses with built-in MP3 player, you can flip up the lenses if indoors to keep listening. They cost $395-495 though which is a silly price even if the dollar is low in value compared to the euro.
