I’m a big fan of Google Voice. During the past year, I’ve written a number of posts about it, including tutorials for setting it up and getting the most out of its features. During that time, the service has been in a limited beta, by invitation only. Yesterday, Google Voice opened up to the public. Anyone can now use it. To celebrate, I’ve decided to make a list of my favorite ways to use the service. Where applicable, I’ve provided links to detailed, step-by-step tutorials for setting up the features I describe.

I love my Nokia N810, but after 10 months of hoping in vain for ubiquitous wifi in the places I frequent, I finally put convenience ahead of cost and upgraded to a smartphone with a data plan: the HTC Tilt 2 from AT&T. I’ve only had it for a couple of days, and I’m still getting used to it, but here are a few of my first impressions.

Today, I received the dubious honor of being plagiarized. My article, “How to make and receive free phone calls using your N810, Google Voice and Gizmo” was re-posted verbatim, without notification, permission, or attribution, as the very first post on a brand-new blog.

With school starting in a week or two, the blogosphere is filling with posts offering advice for students starting or returning to college. As a recent graduate and (nearly) straight-A student, I feel qualified to offer my own advice and debunk what I regard as some of the myths of college success.
