I love randomness. Breaking out of the pattern and being impulsive is how 90 % of the fun stuff in my life happens. The rule is: If you see something interesting, perhaps a group of people you would like to talk or engage with, give your se

Funny thing. Site supports it's claims by referencing 3 articles, whilst there are 10^2 articles claiming the opposite. Good old TV-shop marketing trick.

This service, along with other interactive features, can be realized trough GTalkSMS, a jabber account and an IM client e.g. Pidgin. I've used this combination for some time, and been quite satisfied with it. The only issue I've had, is tha
