Texts From Bennett

This is genius.
Pretty misogynistic, Julz would not approve. That said, it is hilarious. From the blog's boilerplate description: These are the text messages from my 17-year old cousin Bennett . . . "

Letter from a Birmingham Jail by MLK, 1963

Each year I read “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” by Dr. King as part of the holiday observance.

This is some of the best American Literature published in this country and each time I read it, it affects me.

Enclosed is the text from my post on my blog.

The Best Alternative to Siri on Android

I recently downloaded this and having been messing with it. It works pretty well. Below are some how to videos and comparisons from the developer:

"Siri, the new voice activated assistant on the iPhone 4S, has taken the world by storm the last two months. What many people don’t know is that the Vlingo Virtual Assistant has been around for many years, and offers much of the same assistant-like functionality. This is the first video in a series in which we’ll take a look at Vlingo and Siri in a side-by-side comparison. I think what the video will show you is that Vlingo is the original, and still the best alternative to Siri."

Here we compare how the Vlingo Virtual Assistant on Android handles some tasks that Apple has featured prominently in its advertising. Please check back in with our blog or on our YouTube channel for the next installment – coming very soon.
