Ring Central


I came across this really amazing service for my business. I've always wanted to have a professional phone service but I was under the impression that it would cost hundreds of dollars a month. Not exactly in our budget at the moment. The whole VOIP thing was more of a pipe dream for the future. Then I found RingCentral. For as low as $15 a month I can have a phone service that includes customizable greetings, hold music, hold prompts, etc. just like those big companies. It doesn't stop there. RingCentral made an iPhone app that allows me to take and make calls through my business line from my iPhone. That way, I carry one phone for two separate numbers. Not only that, RingCentral Mobile for the iPhone has its own visual voicemail and can access the same iphone address book. I'm just hoping that this service sticks around for a long time because it is very well worth it and some.

The Counter - Custom Built Burgers


Came across this really cool burger joint. When you walk in you get a pencil and a checklist. You basically build your burger from the bread on up. You choose the meat, the sauce, the toppings, the cheese, everything. One could easily make a $20 burger with all the tasty ingredients available. Of course you'll have to figure out how to get that in your mouth. Looking forward to the next time I eat there.

Toy Cellphone for Babies

We got our nephew in San Diego a toy cellphone for Christmas made by the publishers of Parent magazine. It's amazing how they understand what a little guy like our nephew really wants in his hands. He wouldn't let go of that thing. It always makes you feel good that you got the right gift.
