the start of something different

a few months ago, i read that someone i hate but am facebook friends with got GoogleVoice. without truly knowing what it was, in a petty fit of misguided mini-jealousy, i decided i wanted it and requested an invite. and here we are!

for those of you not in the know - which is most of you, based on my recent conversations - GoogleVoice either generates one phone number for you so that you can be reached on all your phones with one number OR, more elusively, will transcribe your voicemails into emails and txt messages (while also sending you an email with a recording of the voicemail). this blog is about the latter.
