PhoneTag

PhoneTag.com is a service that will take an incoming voicemail to your cell phone and transcribe it to an email/text message form and send it to you instantly. It looks really slick. There are three different subscription methods. You can subscribe per message which is 35 cents per message. You can also buy a block of 40 which is $9.95 a month. You can also choose the unlimited option which is $29.95 a month.

I think this could be very useful to the business traveler who attends a lot of meetings and/or receives a lot of calls. You can sign up for a one week free trial by going here.

New Xbox Experience videos let you vicariously play dress up - Engadget

Engadget has a pretty good post on the new XBOX Live that is going to be released on November 19. I think it looks pretty cool and will be good for the platform. Currently, I only have a 64MB memory card so I am going to have to upgrade to either a bigger memory card or add the hard drive. The hard drive is recommended for the best experience.

Where have the R-rated Comedys Gone?

I started thinking the other day that the day of the R-rated comedy seems to be non-existent. Back in the day, you had movies like Porky's that were just hilarious. Now it seems like every comedy that comes out is PG-13 which usually makes the movie suck. You will occasionally see a good one every so often but not near as often as you would back in the 80s.

I am not sure if any one else feels the same, but I think it needs to change. Your thoughts?

Top Six 1980s Sitcoms

I am in my late 20's and was thinking the other day about all of the sitcoms I used to watch when I was growing up as well as the ones I started watching in syndication as I got older. So I decided to come up with my top six list of 1980s sitcoms. Here is how I would rank them:

6. Cheers

The regulars of the Boston bar Cheers share their experiences and lives with each other while drinking or working at the bar where everybody knows your name. I started watching episodes of this in syndication and didn't really like it at first, but it kind of grew on me.




5. Family Ties

A couple who were ardently leftwing political activists in the sixties face the problems of raising a family with children who have strongly conservative views. I always liked how Alex new so much about politics at a young age. It was pretty funny.




4. Who's the Boss

Former major-leaguer Tony Micelli and his daughter Samantha arrive at the Connecticut household of executive Angela Bower, where Tony has taken a job as live-in housekeeper. The Bowers are an interesting family, to say the least. Angela is uptight and obsessed with her work. Her son Jonathan is shy and lacks self-esteem, and her mother, Mona, is a man-hungry vixen. Tony soon wins them over with his laid back style, and the Bowers soon begin to loosen up. Over time, romantic tensions begin to surface between Angela and Tony, and we see the children grow up. I still watch this when ever I can catch it on or even on hulu.com.





3. Mama's Family

Thelma Harper and her spinster sister Fran open their home to Thelma's recently divorced son Vinton and his teenage son and daughter. It's quite an adjustment for everyone, especially the cranky, argumentative Thelma. I think I liked this so much because it reminded me of growing up for some reason. Don't really know why but it does. I love Thelma's sarcasm.





2. The Cosby Show

Long-running popular comedy television series about the Huxtable family. Doctor Heathcliff Huxtable and Clair Huxtable, a happily married couple, are raising their children (Sondra, Denise, Theodore, Vanessa, and Rudy). The two oldest daughters eventually live successful adult lives and get married (Sondra to Elvin and Denise to Martin). As the children get older, the family gets larger and, to the chagrin of Cliff, keep on coming back home when he wants them to move out and live on their own for good. I watched this show almost every day throughout college. It was on multiple channels at the time which allowed me to catch up on episodes.




1. Three's Company

Janet and Chrissy get Jack as a roommate for their San Diego apartment. Jack can cook (he's studying to be a chef) and, when called to do so, pretends he's gay to legitimize the arrangement. Landlady Roper wishes husband Stanley showed more interest in her. While this actually started in '77 it ran through the mid-80s. John Ritter was absolutely hilarious.

Arm Wrestling

Real arm wrestling has nothing on XARM wrestling. This is probably the dumbest "sport" I have ever seen

Korean Baseball Fight

This is very weird. I am really not sure what the point of it is but the players and the crowd seem to be into it. Very odd!

Simply GTD with Kelly: How often should you check email?

For you GTD followers out there, this a good article regarding how often you should check your email and the factors your should consider. This is something I use to battle but have a pretty good routine now. I typically check it once in the morning about an hour after I get to work and then triage it throughout the day. I will then process it to zero before going home for the day. I use the hour when I first get to work to deal with any outstanding issues that might have occured overnight. I have found that this works fairly well for me. Some days might differ slightly depending on what is going on, but as a general rule I try to follow this.
