Thanks for the reply! I was able to find someone who is iPhoning with T-Mobile. I can't activate the data plan online because T-Mobile thinks I have a Blackberry, and their data plans are different. So I have to call them and tell them to change it.

Just curious because I'm planning on picking up an iPhone 3G today. How does your internet access work? Do I just need to call T-Mobile and have them turn on some data plan? Thanks for any insight!

When I had my motorcycle accident, I received a $50,000 settlement from the insurance company. That got blown after a helicopter ride and two weeks in the hospital. About $20,000 in bills I couldn’t cover were paid for by the State of Utah, and another $1,500 forgiven by another hospital that...

Well, let me just say I'm with everybody else on the "WOW!" factor that sending 30,000 text messages in a month is even humanly possible. I understand that there are times when the informality of text messages are nice, but when you are holding an hour long conversation, isn't it just easier...

So uh... Prof, are you still standing by that dead body trying to figure out what to do with it? Sorry I didn't get with you sooner. Well, assuming you haven't been busted in the two days since you posed the question, I might just quietly sneak my way out and call it good. Okay, but if it...

It was probably the theatrical release, not sure though. But it wasn't the ending I didn't like. It just felt like the story was patched together. A lot of the stuff they showed him doing as a kid didn't make any sense to me, even after it was explained later on in the movie. After awhile I...

Believe it or not, Starship Troopers is probably my favorite. Also happens to be my favorite book. Weird huh? Considering the two are virtually nothing alike. Gets tough after that. On my Netflix account, of the 147 movies I've rated, only 9 get 5 stars... I'm pretty picky with my 5 star...

Okay, Mare, now that's impressive! My boss is sending me to Vegas in June along with several of my coworkers. I have a bet with one of them that I will get carded. I figure if I shave my head (I keep it high and tight in traditional military style), stay clean shaven, and get rid of my...

Well shoot Winky, and here I thought you were a 20-year old girl that just got a cheap new webcam! :D Nixy, take it as a good sign. When you're 40, you'll be glad (or so I'm told). Although, even when I was 20, I delighted in pretending to be a high schooler. I guess I'm just sick.

One of my coworkers is always harrassing me about my age, even though he's only 5 years younger than me. This despite the fact that when I first started working here, my bosses took all of us to Hooters on my 30th birthday. They asked me how old I was. I told them I was turning 22. Not a single...

Being the guy who appears on Forbes' "richest people in the world" list at the very top... only later to be revealed as a huge scandal because, well, my net worth is really very low. Then I would get rich from hitting the talk show circuit as the poorest man ever to be the richest man...

Good point Dave. Hadn't thought of that. Guess I'll have to sell a few truck tires or something to make up for it :)

Oh boy, you're gonna love this... I sold cosmetics. Mostly the very expensive BeneFit brand. Ok, you really can call me Sally now! In my defense, the second time I made PowerSeller I sold very manly GPS units (both for auto AND marine!) :D

Slap me around and call me Sally, but having sold over 10,000 items on eBay (not that it's particularly impressive, but lets you know I have some experience) there are two reasons why I would withhold feedback: 1. I used to leave feedback first. Then I found out that only about half my buyers...

Ok, ok... I absolutely LOVE telling the story of how I got fired from eBay (right before the story of how I got fired by Microsoft :D ) So I work in email support, and this guy writes in with some problem he's having. He wasn't happy about it. I could tell because he closed his email with...
