The Hopp Stop

A Google Voice app for the iPhone. I've got it installed now. Early signs are good. I called Vanessa using it and the # on her caller ID was my Google Voice #.

Pogue's post from March on Google Voice.

I just got my invite today and have my # set up now. Once I make sure the service works pretty smoothly, I'll be distributing that as my new go-to #.

No mention of Front Porch, but perhaps it doesn't deserve a mention any more after changes to its menu (which I have not sampled myself yet).

Nice, another update from Carrie on her newfound Phish fandom.

Awesome, Carrie Brownstein has begun a short quest to understand and listen to Phish for the first time in her life, and her offers "before" photos of herself and her dogs.

Nice piece highlighting issues with wireless access to an iTunes library, especially given the move to laptop computers for most people.

Sweet.

The smartest read in sports blogs has another top-notch post.

Interesting discussion of the impact of 2008's wild fires on California wines.

Some enjoyable photos.

From the Beretta folks. Does that mean that there won't be so many Marina-ites migrating down to Beretta every night? Maybe then I'll be able to get a seat more easily. A downside to reduced Marina-ites is that I won't be able to rely upon the Beretta corner as my "get a cab easy" spot.
