We’re back from vacation (family photo to the right) and after seven days away I’ve got links galore. First, several friends and coworkers have enticed me and Stephanie to join Facebook, a social networking site. It’s like MySpace, but without the preteens and seizure-inducing interface.

Next, thanks to Eric and Matt for passing along GrandCentral.com. This is a Google-sponsored site that lets you get one phone number (for free!) and ties it to any phone(s) you like. So when someone calls that one number, all your phones ring. There are more features that I’m still looking into, but so far it’s pretty cool. You also have to get past the fact that Google is getting a goodly amount of your personal information. Email me if you’d like my one new phone number, which will ring simultaneously on my home, cell, and work phones.

Finally, there’s Speech Bubbles, a fun utility that lets you add a cartoon-style bubble to any webpage. The potential for hilarity is almost staggering.
