pluralso my phone company
[Vonage
totally rocks
they just launched their UK service
which means I can get a london phone number
[or anywhere else in the UK for that matter]
not that I need a london phone number
but still
its pretty neat
of course
I'm waiting for them to include the UK in my free calling plan
[I already get unlimited calling within the US and Canada]
and and and
they're releasing wi-fi service here soon
which means I'll be able to use my phone
at existing wi-fi hotspots around the globe
like that doesnt kick ass
[shameless promo]
if you have a high speed connection
[128k and above although it can manage on 96k and still sound good]
[if you're curious about sound quality]

oh an in other news
I picked up a few DVDs yesterday
A fish called Wanda - for 10 bucks which totally rocks
The Cooler - cause Bill Macy is abfab
American Pie 2 - cause even though it sucks, I have the other two and it was cheap
Paycheck - I havent seen it yet, but it was selling for 6.99 and blockbuster gives a minimum 5$ credit when buying DVDs so if I dont like it I can return it and it will still be cheaper than if I rented it
pretty spiffy
I so need to update my DVD collection
but I suck
and would rather hit the slopes
so
off I go
love love

Date: 2005-01-19 10:24 pm (UTC)speaking of my tax dollars
I have a statisical question for you
They have these things called 50/50s up here
it is rather like a charity raffle
you buy a ticket for a dollar
and if you win you get half of the pot
the other half goes to whatever cause
from what I have seen the average week
the winner gets about a grand
which would give rough odds of 1 in 2000 to win
what I want to know is if one was to purcase tickets in volume, what is the statistical break even point with the obvious upper limit of 1/2 of the total tickets sold (otherwise you would lose money even if you won)
