In Show Me The Money
I just received a credit from AT&T for our wireless bill.
I am in shock. I am awed.
Mysteriously, our AT&T bill went up $5. Yeah, I know, five bucks, whoop-dee-doo. But it adds up. So, I compared an earlier bill to this month’s and found two sneaky, little line-item increases:
May-June
Credits/Adjustments/Other Charges
10.88
Government Fees & Taxes
13.26
July-August

After some mildly [...]

Finally, my first couple of work days using my new iPhone. I must admit that i was a bit worried–my phone/PDA is my life-line to the world of the self-employed.
Before we move on, I’d like you to meet my new friend, Toki Tori. More on him after the bump.

Finally got me an iPhone.
I’ve been playing wait-and-see since the 1st gen model came out in ‘07, wanting to give it a chance to flop or mature before I dipped my toes into the Apple mobile pond. I’ve always been a fan of Apple, but I was honestly a bit pessimistic about the 1st gen [...]
