That’s Saying Actual Words?
Ok, I need to stop obsessing about all this old speech stuff. Remember the Echo sample I put up? Well, it came from a whole file full of early synth samples. Some of these, I can’t even understand. And some are amazingly clear. But they must have been made to do what they did by …
Twinkle Twinkle Great Big Net
Remember in that pile of singing synths, when I mentioned the Braille ‘N’ Speak singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star? Well, I found it! I used this device as my notetaker all through high school. It took me a couple of days of constant listening to even remotely comprehend this thing. Now it seems so easy …
Disturbing the Peace While Getting A Piece…
Remember our old buddies Caroline and Steve Cartwright? The noisy lovers who kept a partially deaf woman awake with their very, very, very loud bumpin’ and grindin’ and screamin’ and howlin’?

Lots And Lots Of Doggy Thoughts
The other day, I said I had a dog-related post. Finally, I’m getting around to posting it. I warn ya, this one’s a monster. Back a couple of christmases ago, I got a Furminator for christmas. I love this thing. It’s great for getting a whole lot more hair out than your run-of-the-mill zoom groom …
They Like Us! They Really Really Like Us!
