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!

What are you saying?

I’ve enjoyed several conversations over the last 24 hours that contained more than 140 characters.

It was quite refreshing.

And disconcerting. You know, the whole thing about having conversations in real time. Confusing, I know!

@Twitter, I’ve forgotten how to write in paragraphs.

@facebook, my status has been status quo

@last.fm, there was really nothing wrong with my mp3 player, even though it sits in a corner, all lonely and everything.

@friendfeed, don’t you like my friends? Did that silly failwhale eat them?

@plurk, I can’t even begin to use this without having nightmares about decapitated cartoons.

@my friends, don’t be afraid to pick up the phone and call. Better yet, we should meet for coffee. In a real coffee shop. And leave the computer at home.

I blame it on the CNMC

I twittered earlier today that I was suffering from multiple personalities disorder. The fact that I said twittering has probably already confused some people who are not connected to the idea of microblogging is irrelevant! HA!

OK, mom and pop, I’m talking about a bunch of different ways people connect–from blogging, which is what I’m doing here, to microblogging, think of Big Brother in reverse– a webite where I post a sentence that tells people what I am doing, or thinking, or planning to do.

As a resource, it’s pretty interesting and useful. Socially, it’s like passing a note in class–but for work, and some of the creative stuff I like to do, it’s pretty useful. For example, once I post this, I’ll let my friends in other networks know that I did, and hopefully, they’ll come to this blog and read my stuff, maybe leave  comment or two, which will then take me to their sites so I can see what they are doing. Cool, huh?

             

and there’s more psychosis to come.
