At long last, I opened my GMail Inbox today (well, the label marked ‘Google’, actually) and was ecstatic to see an invite for Google Voice!

I’d applied for the Google Voice Invitation system a few months back when Google had officially announced it, and showcased all the different features that it would have. I thought it was a pretty nifty way to handle a Unified Communication System, although there’s still some way to go, and a lot of features to add!

So, there I was… in Las Vegas… at my room… looking out the window… what a view! I was staying on the 24th floor of the Monte Carlo Hotel & Resort (Or Resort & Casino, as preferred by the Hotel/Casino). The rooms were amazingly nice… the first thing I realized is that the Television was a totally pay-affair! You had some of the basic channels on for free… but they were very limited and boring… the hotel charged for most of the interesting and more engaging content. One thing to notice, was that the entire television program selection is completely centralized!
