Dictation Bridge Has Reached Its Funding Goal

I had my doubts they were going to make it, but the Dictation Bridge project that we’ve been plugging here and there has reached its $20000 goal. Last week, the DictationBridge Indie Go-Go campaign reached its entire $20,000 goal with about 8 hours left in a 60 day fundraising effort. The DictationBridge team had 12 …

Did Somebody Say McMusic?

*puts on old man hat* Great. I’m trying to enjoy a quick hamburger in peace, but I can’t because numbnuts in the next booth thinks he’s fucking Drake or some shit. Thanks, McDonald’s. As First We Feast points out, McDonald’s in the Netherlands recently introduced a music-making placemat called McTrax. McTrax works with a smartphone app …

Why Learn A Second Language When You’ve Got An Earpiece And A Smartphone

Finally, a worthwhile and useful wearable that I totally want to use. This is some seriously Star Trek level shit right here, and these guys would have to be the biggest fuckups in the universe and beyond to not become gazillionaires based on it.

How Do You Say OMG Under A Train TTYL In German?

But since both of those things are …

It’s So Nice To Be Out, Just The Two Of Us. What’s That Honey? I Was Pretending I Was Somewhere Better

As I sit here, thinking yet again that maybe I’m just getting old, it strikes me that while I know many types of people from many different age groups, I have yet to meet a single one who either finds or would admit to finding that a nice dinner out with friends or a loved …

Don’t Have Time To Mess With Telemarketers Yourself? Let A Bot Do It For You

Between the Do Not Call List and dropping our landline last year, I don’t get nearly as many chances to screw around with telemarketers as I used to. But apparently Roger Anderson does, so much so that he felt compelled to build himself a phone answering artificial intelligence bot to automate the process. Anderson, who …
