A smattering of opinions on technology, books, business, and culture. Now in its 4th technology iteration.

I’ve yet to move my house over to a full voip install but still collecting lots of interesting links:
* Pulver launches Bellster – now driving termination costs for calls to 0. Do I really want people calling out on my analog lines tho? * Prototype phone with zigbee integration – one attempt at dragging the physical systems of the home into the digital age. * Skype answering machine. I doubt that most people will want to run their answering machine on their pc. The voip answering machine service must emulate the features/availibility of existing answering machines or telco-based answering services – in both cases, easy access from a handset or multiple handsets in the house. * Rich reminds me that I don’t just want SIP phones in the house, i need PBX functionality so that extensions work like they should – ie all ring at once on an incoming call. * Todd Duffin is way ahead of me, he has done a lot. He’s had good experiences with the Sipura SPA-2000, an SER server, and asterisk for pbx/vm. Lot i have to learn here.
