My Google Voice call routing

Ross — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 03:38:28 +0000

I had various people wondering what happens when they call my main Google Voice number so I did what anyone would do… I made a flowchart. Yes, I know I’m putting my phone number on the internet, but as I can easily block any number it’s no big deal.

Today Google finally announced an iPhone friendly web app for the great Google Voice. I’ve already given out all my invitations to the invite-only beta, sorry.

Great course on Justice and Philosophy

Ross — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 07:25:49 +0000

Here is the introduction of twelve hour-long videos from a philosophy course at Harvard this passed fall. I am currently on video eight and am enthralled by the topics and the quality of arguments made. Having the right professor and being in a group that wants to learn clearly makes all the difference. Anyway, I highly recommend you watch these videos as you have time.
