Not much to say here today, but I did find a couple of interesting things. One is a news article and the other is a website. First the website. Check out http://www.liveatc.net/ for live feeds from air traffic control towers around the world. They even have Metro Airport (KDTW). Now I know that the vast majority of people could care less about this, but I thought that someone like Stu may find it interesting. Melinda was getting tired of me listening last night, but it does help me to get speaking to the tower. There is a lot to pay attention to and sometimes just hearing the radio chatter helps to understand what is going on. Anyway, I digress.
Now for the funny news story. I really scanned the world for this one. Click HERE to read the story. Apparently, there is a new service from Virgin that you can add to your cell phone that stops the embarrassment of making drunken calls from your cell phone. Yup, you heard right. No more calls to cuss out your boss, ex or current significant other when you are drunk anymore. Virgin allows you to enter the phone numbers of people who you don’t want to call when drunk and then the phone won’t allow you to call them when you are smashed. Check out the stats that are cited in this article. Pretty funny.

put in your favorite website and shizzilate it... awesome stuff.
I'd like to say I've never "drunk called" anyone. I think it's really funny that they're going to have a call block for that reason, though.
Now, when I was in my "partying" stage (read: Like two weeks in college), had I drunk-called, I would've had to walk out to my car and call on the HUGE Motorola car phone that was installed next to my radio. I mean, the thing was huge.
Not that I ever got drunk. Because I tell you right now, I don't like alcohol enough to do that to myself. And if my mother reads this, I am gettin' a spankin'!
Stu - Ok, the Ask Snoop site was funny. I don't think I can seriously read another article about the possible revolt in the Ukraine.
Jen - I agree with the cell phone thing. I had one of those huge Motorola flip phones and even if I wanted to drunk call someone, the minutes were like 50 cents a minute and we only got 40 minutes free per month.
