Are you a business traveler who likes to save a few dollars on roaming fees?  I definitely am.  I’m a self employed consultant who pays all my own bills.  I personally hate paying roaming fees to AT&T.
A few months ago I was asked to review [...]

Here’s another late post to the blog.  This was taken back in February in Barcelona at MWC.  Touchnote is one of my favorite companies.  These guys can take your camera phone pictures and send them off as physical postcards to anywhere in the world.  Touchnote [...]

I’ve been wanting to blog about some Truphone (one of my favorite services) news for days now and I’m finally getting to all the news.  Instead of writing 3 different posts I’m just going to condense it down to one short post.  Let’s get to [...]

I used to do a great deal of travel for work when I was producing events almost every weekend.  Since then I don’t fly nearly as much as I used to, sometimes I miss it but now that I have a wife and 2 daughters [...]

I’m a horrible blogger.  I’ve had the FreeTalk Everyman headset for months now and used it countless times, I’ve also had the Yamaha PSG-01s for a month or so now and haven’t blogged about either one.  I could make excuses but I won’t.  I will [...]

I left on vacation a few days back, as I write this I’m in the passenger seat of a giant 12 passenger Ford F350 van.  This thing is a monster but I like it. I’ve been preparing my electronic gear bag (I like to call it my toy bag) and I never know exactly what [...]
