I have updated my contact info our our Contact page. As time has gone by, the phone has become less and less useful to me. Spam texts, spam calls, dealing with Google Voice, etc., have all made it a less-than-pleasant experience. More like an annoyance. So in a bid for simplification and to avoid the annoyances of digital communication in 2024, I’m updating my communication preferences again to point everything that used to go through the phone (voice, text) to Signal. Signal is a messaging app I use and like, and they recently released an update where you can use and keep your phone number private. You can see what this looks like on our contact page at: jackmtn.com/contact/

Email will remain the same.

I still have a phone, and you have my number you can still call. And I’m under no illusion that after publishing a phone number on the web for 25 years spam calls will abruptly stop. But moving forward I’m embracing the change and trying to minimize the number of communication channels that need monitoring. And I’m interested to see if the percentage of messages I get that are spam decreases. We’ll see.
