Europe trip personal comm stats

( General )

I am sitting in Arlanda getting ready to fly home, after a night at the Pulver party with Herding Cats, a fantastic Seattle-based club band. Great energy at the party. Since I’m too foggy for real work, I thought I’d tally up my personal telecommunications costs so far this trip.

VoN Europe is a happening place

( Skype and VoIP )
