[廣告] NONOH 的網路電話
半年前廣告過 JAJAH 的網路電話服務. 今天發現到另一個更便宜的網路電話: NONOH.NET. 使用的方式和 JAJA 是完全一樣的. 網路上填自己和對方的電話, 系統先打給自己, 接通後再接到對方…我承認像我這種古董就是習慣用電話講, 用電腦講總覺得少了用電話講的自由. 網站上寫著打到台灣的 Landline (非手機)是免費的(小字上寫著是六十分鐘, 或是購買了它的 Freeday 服務). 試了半天, 打去的電話都沒有人接(人緣不好啦), 所以就無法告知話質如何了.

Sound Transit 也提供中文的輕鐵安全手冊. 輕鐵在 2009 年中通車從西雅圖市中心到 Tukwila Int’l BLVD Station. 連結到 Sea-Tac 國際機場的部份則預計在 2009 年底通車. 在這期間(Airport Link 完成前), Sound Transit 將會提供接駁公車連接 Tukwila Int’l BLVD Station 和 Sea-Tac 國際機場.
