Pretty slick deal…if you have a Bank of America card (ATM or Credit) you can get into museums for free!
Free dates are limited to the first weekends of each month but it’s well worth it.
These are some pretty nifty tips for those using Google Voice. So far I’ve just been enjoying the transcribed voicemails (I rarely check voicemail anymore because of this…really useful since you can scan entire voicemails in seconds visually).

If you haven’t signed up yet, Google Voice is now open to the general public!
Apple just revealed its newest Mac Mini in a really nice unibody chassis.
Pretty slick, more power, much less power consumption, higher price…so I’m a bit torn about whether this is all good news or not.

I’ve found a great guide on building an Ion-based mini-ITX form factor HTPC.
