I found two to consider: LogicMail, which is free, and Tiggit Mail, which costs $30. Both are under active development. I evaluated them and found them both… Read More: Tiggit Mail: Good program, great author »
After my last email to Comcast, there was a brief period of time during which service-related emails were actually being sent to me properly, i.e., they seemed to have actually fixed the problem. However, yesterday the problem returned, i.e., once again my wife is receiving service-related emails and I’m not.
To: letterstotheeditor@bostonherald.com To the editor: It has been painful to watch the avalanche of flawed statistics and discredited urban legends wielded by opponents of a primary enforcement seat-belt law in their foolhardy efforts to stop a law which would undeniably save lives.

I received email today from a Principal Operations Inspector at the FAA, who indicated that although “air travel by unaccompanied minors is a subject that is not regulated by the FAA… your complaint has caused us to look at other issues surrounding your daughter’s situation, and we are investigating those issues.” I asked him for… Read More: FAA is investigating incident »

I read it quickly (things were a little crazy the day after they lost my daughter!) and thought the FAA folks said that they had forwarded my complaint to the DOT and TSA. In fact, they hadn’t, so… Read More: Reported incident to DOT, TSA »

Later this summer, my soon-to-be-11 daughter will be having a sleepover party to celebrate her birthday. My wife wisely points out that allowing the girls to choose what movie to watch is guaranteed to produce winners and losers, so we’re going to pick the movie in advance.
