PhoneBoy Says

What the puck?

On the other hand, AT&T 3G still sucks.

Dug up an old wireless router that takes a 3G modem. It can run off batteries. Not as cool as the stuff they sell now but it works.

Most radio stations sound like Spotify: no DJs.

So here I am, 17 years later with the increasingly inaccurate name of PhoneBoy. It has served me well, though, so why change it?

I actually built up a personal brand around the name PhoneBoy doing an FAQ website about Check Point Firewalls in the late 1990s. I had a long career with Nokia's Security Appliance business that was sold to Check Point in 2009.

I was a call screener on a radio show about the Internet in 1996. The host forgot my name and called me Phone Boy. I said, "not living this name down so I better embrace it."

Whoever described the 7 minute workout as thoroughly unpleasant wasn't kidding.

Nobody is listening to your phone calls right now. They are, however, recording it so they can listen to it later.

Post 8888 will hopefully really lucky. But it's a little ways off.
