- Third Helio TV Spot - This one for the Drift, directed by Jared Hess of Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre. Calling it a phone can have dire results.
- Try Out DSL And Home Phone In Person - The EarthLink Tour is at the Topanga Canyon Mall and the Santa Anita Mall in LA from now through December 30th. At the tour set-up, you can take a look at DSL and Home Phone in person, and make a free long-distance call through the service itself.
- Mile High MindSpring Call - Director of Systems Engineering Michael Sugg sent in a report of his unusual usage of MindSpring - "...I called my wife this morning at home using our MindSpring product from 34,000 feet about halfway between Canada and Dublin (over the Atlantic Ocean)." He says it worked pretty well way up there.
