Merry Christmas!

Cheap. Impersonal. Lazy.

Yeah, you could call it that. But let’s look at three alternatives:

Frugal. Innovative. Universal.

In any event, here’s my online Christmas card. Never let it be said that Jesse Haynes doesn’t care about the environment. Perhaps this electronic Christmas card will play a small role in the ongoing initiative to save the rain forests.

Voice and/or Video Chat

iChatDid I mention I got a new MacBookPro? Well, more on that later. Right now, I’m trying to figure out how to best implement a voice/video chat setup. I used to use iChat, then I switched to Adium, then most recently, moved to Meebo.com. I like Meebo, since it basically keeps all my chat logs in sync. I’ve got Leopard now, so iChat is looking awfully nice. So I fired it up today. Big problem…I can’t connect to Yahoo! or MSN networks. I’ve got a few friends that just won’t play nice, and grab themselves an AIM acct. Slackers, that’s all I can say. So what should I do? Anyone? I guess if I want to use video chat, I probably have to use iChat. I also have a Skype account. I like the audio quality with that. Anyone got a camera and a Skype account that we can try out the video features? Get my contact info here, I’d love to hear how you use voice/video. Or you can just leave a comment on this post.

FreshBooks Invoicing App

Freshbooks

I signed up for FreshBooks tonight. A friend of mine uses it, and recommended it. Man, too mad it costs $14, and I recently purchased Billings. This has recurring billing though, and offers a client login page. I think my clients will dig that. What apps do you guys use for billing/invoicing?
