Verizon

I’ve been doing some more research into Verizon’s deal on the Kyocera 7135. It now appears as though it might be a bit more expensive than I originally thought, but not by much. I may be able to get a discount based on my company’s corporate plan, though, so that might bring it back down a few bucks. Verizon sure doesn’t make it easy to figure out their pricing plans.

phones

I’m thinking about trading in my cell phone and my Palm i705 for a Kyocera 7135 from Verizon. It would wind up costing me about the same per month as my current cell phone service (about $25) and my Palm.net service (about $20) combined. The only problem is that the unit costs about $500. Maybe I should wait a little while longer. Go here for a nice review on the unit.

Spam

Spam is getting to be a big problem at work, so I’ve been spending some spare time looking into various spam-filtering solutions. The stuff I’m looking at for work is, of course, server-oriented software. For home use, though, I’ve been looking at a few things that get between your e-mail client and POP server. I just downloaded K9 and installed it for use with Eudora. I won’t know how good it works until I’ve been using it for a week or two, but hey, it’s free, so it’s gotta be worth a try.

Will Caffeine Cause Health Problems?

Will Caffeine Cause Health Problems? Lots of interesting discussion here, but who knows how much of it has any basis in reality. I’m doing about 3 cups of coffee a day right now, on weekdays, and maybe 1 a day on weekends.
