One day way back when I had a lot of time to kill, I decided it was about time to start calling some of those 800 numbers on the back of all the food product packages to see what they were all about.
I recorded two or three of these, and this is one of the first – for Cheeto’s. ;

Ok, I’ve done it. I went all hog wild about green tea, and I mean the kind you can drink. I’m fascinated by the pictures of the lush green tea fields in Japan, and enjoy paying far too much for some really good tea, man. Here are some links I want to share and save to come back to when I need them:

Work. Lunch. A window. Of opportunity. Snow. Board. I’ve been looking at that hill, waiting to do this for a looong time.

Google Voice Transcribing the Indian Accent

Google Voice is pretty cool. Even though I had a GrandCentral account, for some reason it just sat there until GoogleVoice took over and it grabbed my attention again. One of the cool new things GoogleVoice does that GrandCentral didnt is transcribe voicemails into text – and as you listen to it, it highlights the words in the text (only when signed into your own GV account), so its almost like a little sing-a-long. Anyway, an Indian uncle recently left us a message, and I couldnt resist posting this GoogleVoice transcription – to show off GVs ability to transcribe voicemails to text. Be sure to hit play and read along.
