I like using google docs for the same reason. I also like how easy google docs is for collaboration with a bunch of other people. When I was in a writers group, we could just share it on gdocs and make notes and criticisms very easily. I also worked and am working on a few small projects using gdocs.

I hadn't used the collaboration features yet - nice to know they work well, too!

Back when I would actually do something with my ideas and not let them shrivel up and die a quick death, I would something similar to your Creativity Farm, but using old-fashioned MS Word, a napkin, my brother's arm, whatever was readily available.

Brother's arm! Definitely the least convenient... Unless you're Siamese twins.

Yes, but I don't like writing on my own skin so...

He would protest of course, so there was usually some chasing and tackling involved.

Also, if you use less than you set the data to, you get charged less on the next bill.

I've been on Google Fi for a while, and I've been very happy with it.

Cool! Haven't heard many first-hand accounts. Glad you like it.

I find the coverage is much better than Sprint alone was. Can't beat the pricing either.

[Davin]

Yeah, having several different towers has been working very nice, because it means fewer bad zones.

For the pricing, I wish everything worked like that. When you use 1MB over your data from most other providers, you get hit with an overage fee (sometimes they wave it for that little over, but you get my point), but with Fi you just get charged for the 1MB which is like a penny.

I set my data to 2GB and I often only use about 1.5GB, so I often get about $5 off my next bill. That kind of pricing makes me happy.

That was a kool story Joe, and I think it's neat that you kept both the autograph and clipping. Do you still have the pen?

Nope, no pen.  I think it was a cheap bic pen, so it might have leaked. The rest was in my "Garage Archives". Been cleaning that out for the last year or so...
