At long last, I have a cell phone

[dougo]

Okay, I got a phone. I went with Verizon Wireless because it seemed like they had the best coverage, plus I knew where their store was (inside the Circuit City in Burlington, MA). I went with the cheapest pay-as-you-go plan, $0.99/day and $0.10/minute, on the theory that I will use less than 20 minutes a day and less than 15 days a month. If not, I'll figure out a better plan. The phone itself is a Samsung, $50, just the basics plus GPS (although I'm not sure I can actually use it for geocaching).

My number is below; feel free to call me any time! But you may want to verify the number with me first (e.g. by email or LJ Talk) before calling.

Edit: Corrected picture below.

Your edit confirms that I know how to decode your phone number. It also means that I'm off by a digit. Must remember this before I put you in my phone book. :-)

What a cool way to put your phone number on the web. I can't wait for the web robot that can parse your phone number from the picture. (It may be a while though.)

When I first saw the picture i started playing mastermind, but when the solution was there in the first three rows I went back for the text to figure out what you were getting at.

It's actually solvable in just the first two rows, I think?
