Trial and Error

I've been playing with our water heater's temperature setting over the past few weeks, seeing how far I can turn it down while still producing enough hot water for our needs. The goal is to save energy, since we don't really need to heat and maintain scalding hot water. Unfortunately, our water heater has notches instead of actual temperature readings, so I've been slowly turning it down a bit at a time.

Loos like I turned it down a bit too far last night and I had to suffer through a cold bath. Brrrr...

Google Voice

I've been using Grand Central for a couple years now and was a little disappointed when Google apparently just forgot that they bought Grand Central in 2007. Looks like I was wrong as they've finally taken the wraps off the new, Google-integrated reincarnation: Google Voice.

My account hasn't been upgraded yet, and I only found out about this via an NYT article, but I'm anxious to see how much things have changed.
