Nuance Dragon Dictation for the iPhone

Nuance, makers of "Dragon Naturally Speaking", produce an app for the iPhone called "Nuance Dragon Dictation".  It lets you speak to your iPhone, and it converts what you say to text that can be copy & pasted into emails, text messages, etc.

My 10-yr old niece asked me if I had anything "new" on my iPhone, and I thought she'd get a kick out of speaking to the iPhone and seeing her words appear on the screen.

I told her to say whatever she wanted to, so she said "I like chicken strips".

Unfortunately, this is what "Dragon" heard:

Fun with X-Rays

I was at on a client appointment this morning at a veterinary clinic.  Their radiology system puts x-ray images on a server, and the workstations are supposed to be able to access the images.  For whatever reason, they were not.  So, I wanted to test the system and see if the workstations could see a "new" image.  Obviously, putting one of the animals under the radiation unnecessarily was out of the question, and no one (including me) wanted to expose themselves unnecessarily.  So, I came up with an idea - take an x-ray of my notebook !

And here it is - pretty cool. :)
