Had a late night call (late for me, anyway) with Jan Geirnaert, an entrepreneurial sysadmin who blogs about Skype from Malaysia. Jan is helping companies deploy Skype internally. Once upon a time he'd ask, what's your fax bill? Then sell email. Now he asks: what's your phone bill? Skype follows naturally.

Torie created a wall mural over three days. For the three hours she painted the mural plan, she was on Skype with a friend. Skype as intercom helping artists to flourish.

Jan also tipped me to Malaysia's TMnet e-voice, an Internet softphone. Are we at the point that every ISP must offer a Skype competitor?

Eamonn Sullivan wrote a great tutorial on using Skype to stay in touch with family. Four of a series on keeping your family together over the Internet.

On another blog, Andrew tries various ways to call Sherry transatlantically, finally settling on SkypeOut on a PowerBook with a Bluetooth headset. Experiments in telecom.
