Bye Bye Qwest

I kept my landline around, even after I stopped needing it for the original Tivo, as a backup for when the cable-internet goes out, and so I could participate in the Neilsen home scan program. No more; today I finally got around to canceling ye olde POTS. If only my apartment faced south, a direct-TV/DSL bundle might have made some sort of sense.

I Have Voice

Google Voice that is.
Nice to finally get in on the cool toy all the kids have been talking about.

UPDATE: Did an experiment with the Russian co-worker who has a mild accent, it was able to transcribe everything he said, except his name, with perfect accuracy. I’m quite impressed. I think I might try sending a song thru it, see how well it matches the lyrics.
