I posted about Randy awhile back. Here is a link to that post. He is the man that gave that wonderful “Last Lecturer” speech. He died today from his cancer. God Bless You Randy!
Cole had this on his blog and I thought it was helarious so I had to post it on mine.
Does it work….YES! However, this is what I have found out:
On a Windows computer you get all the features; caller id, call waiting, better “control panel” software on your computer.
On a Mac computer you do not get all the features. However, you do still get outstanding phone service.
Cons:
Computer has to be running 24/7 for phone service
All features don’t work if you are using it on a Mac
Pros:
1st year is $50 a year, each year after that is $20…common….that is cheap!!!!
Quality of service has been better than expected.
Customer service department has answered and helped me and the experience was great.
I get to cancel my $30 a month phone bill!!!
Conclusion, I think this product is great. So much that I ordered a second one, that will be going to Africa with me. I have already recommended this to my friends and family. With the way the economy is going right now, every penny counts!
So I ordered a Magic Jack the other day. It cost me $50. Their web site says that for $50 I get calls within the US for free, for a year. Yes…for a year. Then after the first year, each year after it is like $20 or $30. Hmmm…I pay $30 a month, not including taxes. That is $360 a year, again, not including taxes. So I decided to get this little gadget and see for myself if it works. I actually installed it today. It took less than 5 minutes, oh, and I did it on my Mac. I called Melanie at the church and it was more clear than my Time Warner Cable phone. I had a friend of mine call me at the new number and he was really impressed. I will play around with it for the next month. If all is good, I am probably going to cancel my TWC phone service. With gas prices going up, we need to save every penny we got. I will post up later my pro/cons of the Magic Jack.
I do a little web development on the side. I really like Word Press and am getting involved with Joomla. So, Katie and I got together and she wanted me to help her with her website. Go check it out, oh, and all I did was the back end work, Kaite did the rest…she is AWESOME!
So yesterday I was up in my office, looking out the window, talking on the phone. Before I knew it, there was a humming bird outside looking in at me. It was almost like we were having a stare down competition. This humming bird was really cool though. First off I didn’t know we had humming birds here in Kyle. I went to Home Depot today and got a humming bird feeder and set it up on the back porch. And wouldn’t you know it, by this evening my little humming bird friend showed up and chilled out awhile on the feeder. It was so awesome. I am hoping that in the near future I can get some good pictures of it. If I am able then I will post them up.
I started a site for some of the teens at youth. It is called Word Junkies. We have a very talented bunch of teens and I thought it would be cool to have a spot on the internet that they could share their poetry. So go and check it out. It went live yesterday and there are already a couple of poems.
I was viewing Bryan Geiger’s Blog and thought I would post this on mine as well.
I leased my car…I know, I know….not the smartest thing to do. It is time to try and get rid of this thing. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the car. I just don’t need something that fancy and costly. I am trying this site that I found, swapalease.com. Hopefully these guys can get the job done.
