friday five:

1. Who is your mobile phone provider, and how many minutes are in your plan?
cingular, who bought out at&t wireless, and with whom i’m less happy despite the “evil empireness” of attws (and besides, i’d have to say that SBC^WCingular are just as empirey and certainly rather evil). i have no idea how many minutes are on my plan. a bunch. also unlimited internet access, for my laptop.

2. What program do you primarily use for instant messaging?
aim, for personal chatting, for no particular reason. jabber, at work, because we’re required to use it. jabber clients apparently all suck.

3. Who do you send and receive text messages from most?
oh, various friends. dan and rachel, i guess.

4. What area code do you live in?
312. though my mobile’s in 847, just because i’ve had it for years and years and i got it when i was working in skokie.

5. What year did you first get an e-mail address and do you still use it?
fall 1992, and no — bradley.edu!heartland!sdownard’s been dead for years.



in other recent quiz results, i am most like “Charlie” on The West Wing, i am merino wool, and i have a high IQ. but we knew that already!
