Text To Land Line Fun

Posted by webalong | technology | Monday 17 August 2009 11:01 am

Had the greatest of laughs just now. Cheley is going to be late for an appointment, she had to send a text to that effect to my land line. To hear a computer say “Looks like it’s gonna be 12:30″ is priceless. Made my day! Oh yeah, I’m hard to please.

Wow, this could actually be something bigger–a recording of priceless utterances from autoreaders…. anyone know who’s done it before?  Examples?

Are You Ready To Duel, Google API Style?

This site is too cool. GoogleDuelsUltra lets you take google search terms and graph their comparative popularity. And it provides some sweet statistics as well. It employs the Google API with aplomb. A rockin’ web page to make your day a little Googlier.

I compared John Belushi and Bill Murray for kicks on intelligence, silly and funny.

The page uses PHP to work with the API.  Thanks to Geoff Peters, indeed a talented individual.
