Hi everyone,
Nobody knows this blog exists yet, but I'm still going to keep posting. Rory thinks I'm crazy.
Anyways, I wanted to tell everyone about the magical service that is Skype. For some reason, it still hasn't caught on in the States yet, even though it is pretty common in Europe. Basically, its like Vonage, except its free (or close to it). You can dial through your computer, use your headset, and call either other computers (the free option) or a landline or mobile. Rates are very low, and the quality is far better than traditional modes of communication.
So what I need is for everyone to sign up. Go to www.skype.com, and create an account. Once you are a member, add me as a contact (by searching by my email address). If you want to call outside of virtual-land, some Skype Out credit is needed. Ten bucks should last you a couple of months, because calls cost just a few cents per minute. You can also buy a good headset (with microphone) at Target.
Ok, once this has been done, the next thing to do is find a webcam. Even cheap (or old) ones will work well enough. Then we can have video chats, which will be important in the coming year.
If you have questions, please ask me. We'll get it sorted out, and it will make keeping in touch as easy as pie.
