ATT GoPhone and Pageplus Cellular

April 23rd, 2009

Not one day after I switched from Verizon to ATT did I discover PagePlus Cellular. 12 cents a minute with a 50 cent monthly fee and 120 day life per refill. They use the Verizon network so any old Verizon phone works. I’m transfering Gina’s phone right now. I think I could get by with about $30 a year on PagePlus with 83 minutes for $10 every fourth month. ATT will cost me at least $100. I think after my current $25/three month refill goes up I may switch to PagePlus if Gina’s usage goes well. I did want to try ATT since I may be getting an iPhone in July when the new ones are out. At over $800 difference a year that’s less likely to happen now…

Free Wireless Antenna Booster

April 22nd, 2009

This free wireless antenna booster solved a marginal reception problem I was having with using my iPod Touch on our new deck. It’s called the “Ez-12 Parabolic Reflector Template”. Print it out, affix it to some card stock, or a Wheat Thins box in my case. Add some foil, cut, bend and slip over your WiFi antenna. Easy to make and use. Particularly helpful if your wireless sits at one end of your house and you need asymmetrical coverage.

Relative Sizes of 2009 Wilderness Systems Tarpon Kayaks

February 25th, 2009

I’m considering getting two of the new 2009 Wilderness Systems Tarpon kayaks. Didn’t have a good idea of the relative size as most pictures tend to set them all to the same length. I made a composite picture and resized them to the same scale as best I could. I thought others may find this picture of the relative size of the new tarpon kayaks useful too.
