So, there was a bonus video of kids reacting to rotary phones. It’s amazing that they could come up with that much good bonus footage. Here it is. Enjoy. I feel really really old. Apparently I’m supposed to be dead by now!

Kids Reacting To A Rotary Phone
This is something else right here. KIDS REACT TO ROTARY PHONES The oldest kid in this video is 13, which means he was probably born in 2001 and that…it means that ohmygod they never didn’t have internet and cell phones and I’m seriously friggin old is what it means.
A RiVO Review
Recently, I noted the release of RiVO, a remote control sort of interface for iPhones and Androids. If you’re interested, there is now quite a detailed review posted on the AppleVis website. I suggest reading the entire thing especially if you’re considering taking the $129 plunge, but long story short, the reviewer, while noting that …
Lego: Print On!
This is a pretty cool concept. To all the people who say Braille printers can’t be made cheaper, I say here, have a real live working Lego Braille printer. Sure, for now it only does the letters a-z, but that’s one amazing start, and one smart kid. Plus, he’s making it open source, which means …
RiVO, For When You’ve Got A Smartphone But Are Absolutely Determined To Keep On Using Buttons For Everything

Talks Is Going Quiet

CBC’s Olympics App Isn’t Too Shabby With Voiceover
I was just thinking about how odd it is that we’re 5 days into the Olympics and I have yet to say a word about them here. I’ve been keeping up as best I can, but we’re still functioning on one computer for now so my time for writing quickly on a full keyboard is …

Fleksy? No? Fleksy VO!
Man, Fleksy’s been struggling like mad lately. It all seemed to start when an expiry date got accidentally leaked out from their beta version onto the real live version. They had to release an update quickly so people could actually use the damn thing again… except… It was bug bug buggilicious! Holy crap! When it’s …
There Is A Google Glass Sex App. Oh, And Some Other Stuff Happened, Too
I’ve seen a lot in the news about Google Glass, but to be honest, I haven’t paid that much attention to any of it. At least I hadn’t until today when a couple of stories caught my eye. But before we get into those, I’m sure some of you are wondering Steve, what the hell …
