Happy Wednesday. Hopefully you're not too hungover after the insane Earth Day celebrations of yesterday, and if you’re reading this over your lunch break, then you work week is half over.

We've switched over to VOIP and softphones here at the office, and today is only the second day since our old land-line ported. Needless to say, we're still ironing all of the bugs out of the system, but it's working pretty well. And the advantages of a softphone are myriad--for the uninitiated, a softphone is a virtual telephone that runs on your computer. You just need speakers and a microphone (USB headsets work, even a Bluetooth headset could work). Which means I can take a laptop to the coffee shop and take business calls while I surf the virtual newspapers.

So if you call me and I inexplicably hang up on you, it's because my computer crashed. Actually, in two days of use and experimentation, I have yet to break anything. The Softphone software is pretty stable and non-intrusive.

Gotta run now. Today’s entry is short because I’ve got devices to ship out—the Mini MT’s are selling as fast as we can get them in.
