so, you all have to know about skype. you install it on your computer, create an account and then you can call me using your microphone to speak and your speakers to listen! it’s absolutely free and the quality is amazing. i’ve gotten both my mom and my uncle hooked up after testing it out with jeremy.
one of the neater things i’ve yet to try is that you can also use your computer to phone any telephone in the world for extremely low rates (~2¢ per minute to 25 countries). they call that skypeout. i don’t do a lot of long distance calling, but if i did, i’d seriously consider it as an alternative to paying my telco, that’s for damn sure.
what are you waiting for? you could be talking to me by tonight!
what are these “speakers” you speak of? I don’t have those at work. Nor do I have mics on the home machines. Yeah, we’re ready for the next tech age, aren’t we? :-/
well, i didn’t expect anyone to be calling me from work (’cause i sure as hell ain’t doing it from work, myself), but i know most of you have computers at home you can use. don’t you?
that’s one aesthetically-pleasing cake.
chocolate mint. it was beyond decadent.
What did it say? I can’t make out the lettering.
it said “HAPPY”.
the tube of stuff we bought sprung a leak and was too dark to be read anyway, so we just decided to leave it as the happy cake and be done with it.
Ah. I thought at first it said 1977, but that would’ve been a bit of a stretch of a lie about your age. ;)
hey! that’s only five years!
oh.
unless you’re talking i’m 1977 years old. yes. i do not look near 1977. thank you.
Five years is a lot! It’s over 15% of your age (now, when you’re 100, 5 years is nothing! ;-))
hey, people who don’t know my age still guess it at five years younger, i’ll have you know!
