<p>I flew into Seattle on Saturday night. The sun came out on Sunday. Tuesday wasn't half bad, yesterday was spectacular.

Riddle me this: Vonage Soft Phone
I just looked into adding Vonage Softphone to my Vonage Account. It turns out that you cannot use Vonage Softphone with your existing Vonage Phone Number! So I would need to add a Vonage Softphone line with a new number in order to use Vonage SoftPhone while I am away. Does that make any sense?…

“Sneezers” Like Me
Whatever business you’re in, your product’s success or failure is going to become more and more dependant on “sneezers” like me. We are not going away.
