My Cell Phone is taking over!

What a great weekend it was. Having a TGIF dinner (actually recommended any day) at Nodee, a fine Sushi and Chinese restaurant in Oslo, is just plain out enjoyable. And if you add a beautiful lady into the equation, then nothing can go wrong.
This is not what I wanted to talk about, really!
It is the cell phone I wanted to credit. Since my MacBook PRO was hospitalized due to a serious battery problem, my weekend looked to be computer less.
Only problem, my sisters birthday and a bunch of football scores to keep tracks of. I guess I could have just called her, but since she lives so fare away we usually talk for some time and skype seems to be the best alternative when we have time to sit down. It's fun with camera and I get to see the kids, and they get to see their uncle. fun fun fun
Oh well, when that doesn't work, and we are both up and about, that is when Vyke PRO or Vyke Lite comes in handy. I can call her for only 13% of the regular cost and also send SMS messages. And it really works. 30min cost no more than US$9.-, which is US$57 cheaper than what I would have been charged (12.59nok/min = 2.22usd/min) by Netcom in Norway.
That is just plain out crazy.
Another crazy thing is sitting inside all day to watch football scores, when you could get them with Opera Mini anywhere. I talked to 3-4 guys about this and they were all happy about learning this. One comment, Opera Mini starts up late, so rather than closing it each time keep it running. That will save you some time, especially since Opera Mini is so quick to load pages. Too bad if you get the wrong impression with the start-up time running.
