I've now got me one of those wicked awesome Iphones, and I'm hooked- even though I have no idea how to use the damn thing- but that's never stopped me before, so I dove right in.
I've been playing around with all those fancy apps (there's a million of them, don't you know) and I got one that I actually paid two bucks for. I told myself that I really, really, needed this one because....well.....I suck at typing. Thing is, I type really slowly (and I hate being slow at anything, just ask anyone at one of my trackdays)- I have to constantly look at the keys, then the screen, keys, screen.....where's the "H" again?....Well, you get the idea.
So when I found a neat dictation app, I decided this would really make getting my thoughts onto my blog faster, and I'm all about that. I've been playing around with it for a few days and it's gonna take a little tweaking I think.
Example: Today I had a one hour drive ahead of me and because I was in the middle of a blog post I decided to see if I could get it up and running before I left using just the Iphone, and to my disbelief I managed to actually get if fired up before I left the driveway. And as I motored down the highway I hit the microphone button on the phone and I'll be damned if a little "beep" didn't come up over my Zumo GPS (yeah, the Zumo is paired with the Iphone...ain't I fancy), so I dictated a short sentence, hit the button again, glanced quickly at the phone (I'm driving, remember) and was quite astonished to see text typed into the blog. What the.......?? This thing rocks!
I quickly formulated another thought, blurted it out (somewhat embarrassed to be talking to no one in the truck), and there it was, so I continued. Gotta say, the time really flew by, just me, the Iphone, a GPS, my blog and my incredibly insightful thoughts.
By now you're probably thinking, "Big deal, techno-boy!" or maybe "Why the heck am I wasting my time reading this?" or "Wonder if we still got some of them Twinkies around?" Why? Because I've got something to show you.
Following, is the exact text that got transferred to the blog page during the trip......
For example while removing the clutch plates to inspect and clean them I knows the red grapes reservoir holes with weekday and need a new clamp, and that's what I found that there was rushed on the clutch cover bolts and that the Springs needed some cleasm that intern Beach trip is the latest and greatest from Ultralente and trip to the hardware store up the street replacement stainless steel bolts as you say it becomes a vicious cycle and never ending quest to have everything just right
