New service helps callers avoid awkward cell-phone moments!
"Slydial lets you connect directly with another person's cell phone voice mail, bypassing the traditional ringing process that often results, sometimes disastrously, with someone picking up on the other end.
Users call (267) SLY-DIAL from either a cell phone or a landline and are prompted to enter another person's cell phone number."
Good one, technology! Soon I'll be able to avoid personal contact with other humans completely! (I'm kind of kidding...but kind of not. I really hate talking to people on the phone.)

...and while I'm clapping technology on its collective back, have you guys seen this? http://www.roku.com/netflixplayer/
you buy the box for $100, connect it to your TV and internet connection, and via your Netflix account, you can stream tons of movies/shows to your TV for no extra monthly cost!
I would totally get it...if I had an internet connection and a Netflix account, that is.

Speaking of the Roku Player - no need to get one if you already have a Xbox 360, which will offer the same Watch Now feature of NetFlix (it's making me debate switching over after using Blockbuster Online for the better part of 2 years!). You could think of it as something for you and something for Mitch...?
Im nervous, I too have been a faithful Blockbuster user...I vote it is time to switch.
Ryan, your plan is very fair-minded...but then Mitch would want to USE said Xbox, thus cutting into my movie-and-tv watching habit!
