it's a wireless world

I'm writing this post logged on to the net via the wireless modem in my Motorola Timeport L7089. It's a little sluggish (9600bps), but it's very cool to have.

Since I got back from down under both SMS and data calls have started working for me, causing me to decide to stay with VoiceStream. I'm experimenting with using uReach as my access means for Muskegon people. I get my own toll free 877 number, and I get email to my phone when someone leaves a message. It seems to work great, and it's really cheap (free if you only use the included 30 minutes/month).

Eric Richardson lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works on payments infrastructure for Cash App.

Past lives involved streaming audio for Southern California Public Radio, running a hyperlocal news site for Downtown Los Angeles, working on custom mapping code, and writing Perl at the Jet Propulsion Labratory.
