Ooma.. over 2 weeks and still going..

OK.  It’s been over two weeks now and I still love my Ooma.  I have been keeping an eye on the blogs out there and of course leaving my two cents worth.  There have been many blog posts that have put down Ooma.  Now, these are not Ooma owners, but just people commenting about a product that they have never even tried.

Many say the company won’t be around.  Well, I have saved $50.00 over Vonage this month alone.  So, by the end of February, the system will have paid for itself.  And, in the meantime, I get clearer reception then [...]

Ooma price break… Still

Check out the price Amazon.com has for the Ooma.  I thought they were going to be raising their prices back up to $249.00 after the 4th of the month, and they did for a while.  In fact, they sold out.  But, they are back and Amazon priced them down to $202.58. At least right now.

Ooma, one week later

OK, I have made many electronic purchases in my life. I probably have one of the largest universal remote collections around.  I hate being the first on the block to own new technology, but I can’t stand to be the second. It is just one of my personality disorders.

Ooma Update

OK. Well, I got the unit from Amazon and I couldn’t be more pleased.

First, Amazon got the package here in 3 days.  Not bad.  Ordered on Black Friday night and it was here Tuesday. Because it was one of the busiest shipping days of the year, I was a little shocked to see my package so soon. Upon opening it, I was really surprised.  What great packaging.  It reminded me of an Apple product.

Hello Ooma, Goodbye Vonage

Consumer VoIP startup Ooma launched nearly a year ago and offered consumers free phone service for life, all you had to do was buy the hardware for $399.

Just one problem. The sticker shock of paying $399 up front for the hardware put a lot of users off. And there weren’t many places you could actually buy the Ooma.

2008 Christmas Morning

I was lucky this year, as I got to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning with the boys.  Unfortunately, Joey was sicker then a dog.  But, he made it through it.  I decided this year to make sure the boys stayed in their room before it was time to come out in the morning, so I wrapped their bedroom door.  Anyhow, here is the video.

2008 Christmas Carols

OK.  I thought I would start a new Christmas Tradition.  Make goodies with the kids and go around, singing Christmas Carols to our friends and relatives handing out the goodies.  Worked great this year.  Made some a recipe from my site, my famous Butter Cookies.  Made 4 batches and went around to hand them out.  Everyone had fun and were excited to see us.  Hopefully, this tradition will continue.

Here is the video…
