Hell has just frozen over… I’m actually using DRM’d music, shudder.

T-Mobile to Go, definitely my cheapest option for mobile phone service.

Posted By Corey on June 19th, 2006

It’s been 6 months since I got my PAYG SIM card from T-Mobile. While I haven’t come close to keeping the $100/1000 minutes till Monday, January 8, 2007, I’ve done my bare minimum of 6 months. Considering the fact that my usage has actually gone up a bit it’s still pretty good. If I average out the usage it’s about $16.67 vs. my original estimate of $8.33. All things considered I don’t think I could find a cheaper mobile phone service without having a contract. It’s also quite surprising how easily one can get by with a nice old Nokia 6610 when they realize having the latest and greatest phone with all sorts of data options isn’t really that important :-) .

UPDATE: T-Mobile to Go is no longer all that… Beginning 8/15/06 T-Mobile will start charging $.05 per SMS received.

1000 or so Vista Pearl Exercise Balls invade the Redmond Campus…

Posted By Corey on June 1st, 2006

So I’m driving back from Northgate Mall to pick up one of these devilishly delicious apple pie apples from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. I get a call from Justin saying that I need to get to campus. It’s around 10pm so I figure this must be interesting.

Get my way over there and there’s 100’s, 1000 even, of these big blue Vista pearl exercise balls everywhere. Sadly I don’t have my camera with me so I can’t take any photos plus it’s too dark anyway.

I grabbed one, put it in the car, made my way home. Can’t wait to see just how massive the roll out is and to see how many are left tomorrow morning.
