News, news, news!
Posted on May 11, 2012 | 1 CommentSo, I want to be all excited in tone right now. But the truth is I’m frustrated. I’ve just learned the lesson twice not to dictate in anything other than the DragonPad, because the stupid program hears commands that I didn’t say and follows them,... -

Posted on May 7, 2012 | 2 CommentsI’m a big fan of Kevin Smith. I recently discovered that his film Red State was on Netflix. Also on Netflix was a Q&A with Kevin Smith that had to do with Red State. So I watched both. I really enjoy listening to Kevin Smith... -
Voice Recognition Software
Posted on May 6, 2012 | 2 CommentsThis blog post is being dictated using Dragon NaturallySpeaking. I just got this program, and I’m trying it out for the first time. It’s a little weird for a lot of reasons. First of all, it’s strange to be composing out loud. I hadn’t realized... -

Cemetery Walk
Posted on February 23, 2012 | 5 CommentsIt’s an absolutely gorgeous day here in my neck of North America. The temperatures are in the 60s, and it’s yet another chapter of the very mild winter we’re experiencing here. I decided to take a walk today in the woods behind my house (it’s... -
