A weirdly useful technology recently debuted with PhoneMyPhone. If you need to find your cell phone, or better yet, fake a reason to escape the office, PhoneMyPhone will call any number entered into its website -- for free. You can schedule a call time, which allows you to use the service as an alarm clock of sorts, or just implement it immediately. Due to pranksters, calls are blocked in the dead of night, though, so tough luck for any swing-shifters out there. This is just one of a number of websites in development by David Parkinson at KeenScreen.

Congratulations to VOXUS client Nextrials and its CTO, Bob Lyons, for being named one of this year's Top 25 CTOs by InfoWorld Magazine. It's refreshing to see that the accomplishments of folks at younger companies such as Nextrials aren't being overlooked. This year, Bob was in excellent company with award winners from Credit Suisse, Narus, VeriSign, Tellabs and Motorola.
