Is a slamming toilet seat-lid causing awkward silence amongst you and your dinner party guests? Are your nights rendered sleepless by the increasingly loud slamming of the potty lid?
Well, fear no more! My local Costco has started carrying the “Allmax Elongated Slow-Closing Toilet Seat!”.
No longer will your guests be disturbed to hear when you’ve finally wrapped things up “in there”.
I received a Netflix free trial offer in the mail today, complete with their Official Seal of Satisfaction. You know, I’ve been skeptical of product guarantees or ‘seals’ of satisfaction in the past, but Netflix has put my fears to rest:
The Netflix Seal of Satisfaction
Official Seal of Satisfaction
If you’re not completely satisfied, you’re free to cancel your Netflix membership online or by phone at any time. Just follow the instructions at our website under “Your Account.”
No questions asked.
Now that’s an offer I can’t refuse! Allow me to paraphrase: “If at any time you don’t like our products or services, you’re free to stop doing business with us!”
Well, my project that allows you to share, read, and listen to Google Voice Transcripts is taking off decently!
I’ve recently added HTML5 Support to the site. Now, virtually every modern device should be able to listen to Voicemail audio! iPhones and iPads are supported via HTML5 directives, while older or less awesome browers (IE?) use a Flash plugin. If all else fails… I just provide a download link.
HTML5 is the latest version of the Hypertext markup language approved by the W3C. HTML5 audio players allow for embedded audio played directly from the browser, without any 3rd party support such as Adobe Flash or Real Media.
Try it out and let me know how the HTML5 support works!
Let’s face it… we should be embracing anything that allows us to take a few steps away from Flash, which for years has had a creepy strangle on web-embedded multimedia.
Announcing HelloLinko.com: The best in Google Voice transcripts!
If you’re a user of Google Voice for Voicemail, you know just how amazingly funny those Google Voice transcriptions can be. However, I searched high and low and to date, there isn’t a single site on the whole of the internetz that attempts to consolidate the best of the best.
HelloLinko.com lets any Google Voice user to share their favorite Google Voice transcriptions (errors, typos, weird sentences and all!) with all of the internet. The best part about it? You can share a Google Voice transcription directly from Google Voice! You can choose to share an audio copy of your Voicemail, or just the transcript. What’s more, Fans of HelloLinko can call and record their own Voicemails for HelloLinko… or even send a text message.
I even remove phone numbers from transcripts before being posting but beware that if you choose to include an audio copy of your voicemail, personal information can’t be removed.
This project is still in beta, but I invite any of my blog readers to try it out and pass it on to their friends!
For years I’ve avoided social media. Being in the technology industry, I’m sure it would surprise you to say that for year I’ve simply been afraid of social media sites like Twitter, and Facebook. There are privacy settings, apps, and things called #hashtags (What?!).
But like many things in life, the time has come to bite the bullet. I’ll simply have to set aside my insecurities and concerns and join the rest of the world.
