deceived by my own phone ...

in an age of too much information about who's calling, even from the ringtone one selects for a specific caller, i have become an anti-social person. yesterday evening, i received a call from "unknown." i get some of those everyday. i feel that if the person is really looking for me, they'll leave a message - quite an assumption.

yesterday, unknown turned out to be Federico. fortunately, he's one of those people who leave messages, and i skype-called him back. but i did kick myself for being way too smart for my own good.

yesterday too, Markus called. at least his german phone communicates with my phone and i was able to read his name on my caller ID.

i guess a solution would be to systematically answer all unknown calls to figure out how many sources of unknown there are. but, the anti-socialite in me may prevent my inner-scientist from succeeding.
