Wasabi for early dinner
Category: food

delicious. I has some sashimi crab, octopus, and yellow tail. After
I played second life and went to the gym.

That looks like Nigiri. Are the beef rolls Negimaki? I have never had them, they look good.

Yeah for insurance!

I always roll my eyes though at the term "dependents". I wish they would come up with some other term. However, that's far from the most pressing insurance issue at this time, so I suppose I'll wait a bit until I start my campaign to cease the use of the word "dependent".

Dictation Fixation
Category: iphone
So it really annoys the hell on me when people talk to Bluetooth
headset. I think they look like robots. But now, I'm not even talking
to real person. I'm just talking to my phone.

However, it does seem to make my blog a lot more fun.

Even the editing is incredible but I seriously can't believe this.

I'm not convinced they don't just have a bunch of third world people
listening to these every time I send it in and typing it out. I mean
how can it be so freaking accurate.

The weather outside is truly frightful. On the way home from work I
was really concerned that I was going to get hit by treatment. So much
so, that I decided to skip out on my evening trip to the gym. It's
really rare for me to not go to the gym during weekdays. It's the one
thing that you can do to get rid of the stress from the work day.

God the team that created this is amazing. I am so jealous. I feel
like such a freaking loser.

Hit by treatment? Treatment for what - bruises?

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

image

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

image

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
