Awesome prank idea: you take on of these OOMA Telo VoIP Home Phone Systems and a time machine, and you travel back in time to, like, the ’70s. You show people the Ooma and say, “This is what phones become in the future.” You can explain how it plugs into your high-speed internet, or how […]

“I found something,” said Edwin to his parents and his older brother. “It should help us avoid what happened last time.” Edwin, of course, was referring to the disasterous production of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof that the four of them had preformed in their living room the weekend previous.
