Skype

This is too cool! For $29/year you can call anyone, unlimited calling via the Internet with video (if you have a video cam). Calls within the US and Canada are free. Outside the US is dirt cheap (I think 2 cents/min). It really works! Mr Eyes and I have the web cam's and Mr Eyes has remote head gear, so he can walk around and talk, plus the remote phone (works as long as you're within a network, ie Starbucks). Technology is awesome!
