texting maybe not a game for the weak

After being the butt of the joke whenever my kids caught me text messaging one sad and difficult letter at a time, I took the plunge and attempted the “Word setting” on my phone. I have to admit that it improved my timing significantly. I am now up to the blinding speed of one sad and difficult word at a time.

Hey, I’m working my way out of the twentieth century, one painful text message at a time.

Unfortunately, the magic of word recognition is not always as magical as one hopes. i responded to a message from Vicky, only to get a reply message asking me if I had read what I sent.

Oops. see if you can figure this out. I started off ok, and it went south in a hurry:

Spaghetti meatackl do i rate what time

Yeah ok. TTFN.

The blogs are gonna be fun today.

In other news, Jeffrey-Jeffrey-Jeffrey, who is a professional writer and journalist extra-ordinaire (since he does the sports thing and therefore is the best in hyperbole) called me out on my own blog for not posting about Jerry Reed’s death. Um, who appointed you editor, dude? Bahaha, nevertheless, he’s right. Shall I make excuses for the oversight? Nah, who wants to read a bunch of lies.

This is for you, Jeff:

The movievoice guy died yesterday

Nobody knows his name or what he looks like, but we all know his voice, especially from movie trailers but also from a lot of other voiceover work.

I hate to think that he would just kind of dissolve, like a dismbodied voice, so go check out what he looked like and what his body of work included.

His name is Don LaFontaine, and you can check out his website here.

In the meantime, those Hollywood types should check out Paul Camarata, the voice of the Saintcast and SQPN. Now that’s a voice!
