Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

Skype on the iPhone / iPod Touch

This morning, CNET reported that Skype is officially coming to the iPhone in a few days. I’m impressed, but not really thrilled.

Music to My Ears: Free Audio Software

I love when you let me know about killer software:

My name is Andrew Portess (also known as portessa when in your chat room as well as part of the community at geeks.pirillo.com). I saw the video you did on the 19th about David Crandall, who I agree has great talent as a musician.
