Now that we have entered into November of 2007, it is time for me to say goodbye to all the readers and supporters of my blog here. I have come to a difficult decision to end my long term blogging activities here for now. Due to various issues locally and personally, I have to minimize my time and maximize my exposure by limiting where I blog and how I spend my limited online time.

I would have loved to keep www.pocketpcmag.com as one of my online activities but unfortunately I am not able to at this time.

I recently attended a local Psychic Expo. It's been an annual event going back many decades. For me, it has been over 10 years since I last attended one and wanted to see if new technologies have been incorporated into this niche business category.

In the 1990's, psychics would provide 30 minute readings for about $40 - $50 Canadian.

Tired of the high cost of mobile phone charges? Consider using a service called Truphone.

This is a VOIP (Voice Over IP Servcie) that allows free calling to other Truphone users and to landline numbers in 40 different countries. This is a true mobile service since it is accessed through a mobile phone and a Wi-Fi service. Phones that have a built in Wi-Fi can take advantage of this anywhere a Wi-Fi service is available.

Magic Radio.
