Dictating a blog to my phone
Category: iphone
This is the first blog but I'm dictating to my telephone. dictating
blog is much easier than actually typing it considering the on screen
keyboard is not my favorite

I can't wait to talk to our devices the same way they do on Star Trek .

The application I'm using is made by the makers of Dragon
NaturallySpeaking. The amazing part is I didn't have to teach
anything. I remember the first time I tried to use Dragon
NaturallySpeaking I spent some time teaching at my voice.

I'm starting to wonder if the reason I don't writtoad much as I used
to these two is because I don't really like typing on my phone.
However, just talking is so much easier, now if only I had something
important to say.

For chr*ssakes it seems even more accurate than me typing with my
fingers.

F*ck this is so easy. However, I don't like how it censors me, I find
it totally ridiculous.


Here is someone elses video about it

I just saw an article about the dragon iphone app, and the fact that it is FREE (for now) made me go check it out. And just FYI- based on the user reviews in the app store, apparently buried somewhere in the fine print in the EULA it says that all the contact info in your phone is uploaded to (and possibly stored on) Dragon's servers.

Just in case you're nervous about stuff like that.

I downloaded it anyway, and want to try it, but haven't yet. I kind of hate dictating.

oh. my god. last year for school I had to transcribe 3 interviews that were 45 minutes or so long. this would have made that weekend sooo much better!

Steamworks in Second Life
Category: gay
This is totally inappropriate for most everyone, just stop here, unless steamworks sounds familiar. No, not the real thing, but the one in second life. Apparently, they have everything there now.

Sadly, I had no penis so my adventures were pretty limited at first. I did ,however, bring my pet tortoise.

image

Those other guys had penises and told me where I could buy one.

BY the end I decided I needed a new badass look. I got a black vest from a store in boystown and a penis from the penis dealer.

Needless to say I followed him into the sauna

james - 12/10/09 00:36
Another example of art imitating life.
tinypliny - 12/09/09 22:10
Needless to say, indeed. Hahaha

Category: web
Fuck you.

Love,
Bonehead

I think the guest is a bonehead. (e:jim) is not alone. PCMag.com thinks that automagic is a word :::link::: Automagic is also in the Wiktionary :::link:::
tinypliny - 12/08/09 19:39
Should be a way to automagically poke someone in the ribs hard if they have no better things to do that hang around and write nerdcore messages.

Heh, I hope mine wasn't equally mindnumbing. Hahah
jim - 12/08/09 19:24
Yeah it's perfectly cromulent.
theecarey - 12/08/09 19:18
someone wrote you that? lame.

and I love that word!!

I haven't had any use for it yet, but I had seen (e:jim) use it elsewhere not too long ago.
jim - 12/08/09 18:39
I use that word all the time!

The end of the world?
Category: health
It looks like walgreens us getting ready for it. I keep just
imagining hordes of half zombie humans trying to get to the last
remaining supplies.

jbeatty - 12/08/09 17:25
It reminds me of the Y2K survival kits they were selling back in 1999.
deeglam - 12/08/09 16:25
terrifying. What the hell.
tinypliny - 12/07/09 23:17
And honestly, why would you want tissues and hand sanitizers (and is that an air freshner spray?) when the world ends?

Do you think the world would be taken over by the Eloi?? :::link:::
tinypliny - 12/07/09 23:11
MUST. GET. TO. WALGREENS. NOWWWWWWWWWWW

Standing on the edge of life
Category: hiking
This rock is somewhere in Norway. I would never want to stand on it.
If we went there (e:Terry) would surely make me stand in it. I think
I'd rather just wait till we are old and tell people that is a picture
of us.
image
jenks - 12/08/09 16:07
haha I thought it WAS a picture of you and terry.
james - 12/08/09 08:15
I think more people need to stand naked on tourist spots.
tinypliny - 12/07/09 23:13
You mean that's not you on the right?!


and YIKES. That looks absolutely bonkers.
