edit:
im going to brag a little here this page doesnt get many views but it has been way cool to have gvoice as my default voicemail but... i wanted to share how cool google is because i also was one of the lucky ones to get the free Google voice business cards


this was the icon you had to sign on at the right time to see and then they sent you the cards...


read the rest of the article if you like it was way easy to set up and it works great!

i was reading the Google Voice Blog post about using Google Voice with your existing number so i thought id make a quick blurb about what it means and how easy it was to do(at least with verizon) Basically it allows you to use your google voice number for your existing numbers voicemail(so its not full gvoice on your cell).

heres the article about how to set it up but

it was really easy to setup it only took 2 steps

1)

first you select your carrier...

<

2)

then you type it in your phone and it send...



and your done!its that easy. some thing to note... you should make sure your voicemails are all cleared because if you dont then when you try and dial your voicemail(*86 on verizon) it will ring your google voice number and you wont be able to clear the voicmail message from your phone

you may also be interested in my post about the google voice invites i have

the first is the Flight through a Wormhole



hes got a way cool video going in and out its alot like the wormholes in Eve Online

then he does some cool stuff talking about approaching a blackhole. he seems to take everything into account (comment if someone knows its wrong) but it seems way cool to me id check it out but this diagram



When we are moving around solar masses we could redirect jets of energy and light from all around to be like masters of the universe to see the stars as they look from around the galaxy

so ill tell you how it was after i finish it we will see if it lives up to what i remember

so in case not everyone had gotten the word these are my 2 blogs and website

Alpha Carter This is like the random funny things that didnt make the tech blog or were for something else

Carter Cole's Main Site This is where i used to host most of my contact it has the Carter Tomorrow Fund its for a good cause

then is Carter Cole's main blog about technology and programing

and rememberer there is really only one Carter Cole on Facebook

oh and my linkedIn profile

so thats all the sites i own right now ill be updating this with new sites and information as it becomes available

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia 

edit:
so i finally got some of those voice invites those google geeks were mentioning. i currently have 3 invites left comment below to claim one...friends get first dibbs so be quick

---

i was reading the post here on the Google Voice Blog and we should be seeing invites to people who already have voice accounts (like me) so ill be giving the invite to anyone who comments below (this will prolly happen sooner then wave invites) with priority given to people i know

the google voice invite screen:


so feel free to use the cool google voice gadget below to give me a call if you have any questions...

So i was reading this this on the official google blog about building maker but the question i have is can you do this...

I recently saw an article about a company that was going to do "google maps inside buildings" (but it wasnt google so i left the article) but what if you made this building maker do floor plans? now i havent tested it yet but i have used sketch up so im assuming its like an extenton of that ill add more once ive had some time to tinker on the buildings

but wouldn't that be cool? google local center verifys a building is yours now you can upload a floorplan with room names and everything and google will do simple path finding and give you directions inside the building i think its very reasonable project to take on and would allow for even more traffic to google so iono some google engineer should reply and tell me what yall think. is this in the works already?

edit: Ive got some invites! friends first still but there are 11 left... first come first serve





so there will be a post on my main technology blog about what i learn / figgure out for wave but i finally got my invite! woohoo i have no idea if it had to do with me begging Google for an invite but i need friends to use wave with me (to use it for its whole point collaboration). so if you know me and want an invite please leave some part of your info so i will have it below. i guess if others who want invites give enough of a sob story i will pass deal with that too but friends will receive priority so start the fighting

Edit (Sorry for the false alarm): now i have some!

Google wave invites wont be going to new invitees you should go to the sign up

you would probably be best checking the links i have listed here that has all the invite pages


google wave
cool

Now if i can just come up with a good lolcats for this picture

In honor of the invention of the barcode today and jumping on the Google bandwagon here is the history of barcodes along with some bar code generators

generator 1

generator 2

generator 3

cursebird is a nice twitter app that does one thing... track people swearing on twitter. By pulling the feeds from popular expletives then we can generate trending stats for all the cursing on twitter. its that easy and because you really want your visitors to know that the word "bloody" is up 10 % i have plans to add some ajax ability to it currently it only loads once

i really haven't cursed that much



oh so i got permission to post the code so just drop this on your page

<script src="http://cartercole.com/curses.asp">
</script>
 

and it will drop the cursing stats on your page

i added some css classes to the output

the .curse-wrapper is a div that holds the other .curse-word div (1 for each word)

Like my badge? its link bait from SeoMoz but honestly i don't know how it qualifys you as an expert? o well i think it looks cool and it has the favorite icons from a bunch of sites so its gotta be legit :)
