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 的輕鐵測試將會越來越頻繁. 目前看起來除了 Tukwila Int’l BLVD Station, Mt. Baker Station, Beacon Hill Station (地下)和往機場的部份還在趕工外, 其他的車站似乎都已經完成. 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.
