But I Still Love Technology

I love technology, but voice technology can only do so much with a southern accent.  I am sure you are all well aware of this from your experiences with Siri....although Siri is pretty damn good.

When Jack and I went on our trip in January we used a Google Voice phone number as one of the many means of communication with family.  We had some trouble with the voice part but the texting worked beautifully.  A few times we tried to call family but the connection was too broken up and they would call back and leave a voicemail.

When you get a voicemail on Google Voice it translates it to an email and sends it to you.  I now present to you the two messages we recieved while in Switzerland, courtesy of the translation by Google Voice: 
  1. "Hey sides. I couldn't hear anything. No. When you called a few minutes ago, so I don't know, just can't talk. I'll knock on the old phone here but The White House. You can run, hey I need, just in case you were pregnant okay. Love You helped out. I have a good plan. Bye bye. "
  2. "Hi dad, passed out when you come and we were interested in the central time on it was a competitive close to me and if you wanna call back. Love you. Bye bye. "
So I am all like, Whaaaat?  You can't talk because you are at the White House?  I am pregnant?  I can run?  I helped you?  Who passed out?  Where is dad?  The Central time zone is competing for something?

The I realized I could actually LISTEN to the messages.  Basically, they both said something totally normal like this:  "Hey Sage and Jack.  I coudn't hear when you called a few minutes ago but I'm at the house if you want to call back.  Hope you are having a good time".

So thank you Google Voice for momentarily bringing me out of my snow/wine/cheese/hot tub induced coma into a state of total confusion.  Now I'd really like to see the Google Voice interpretation of the "S&%$ Southern Women Say" videos. 

Also thanks because I now have Kip's wedding song in my head.

  7. less than one dollar web hosting Domain hosting can be hit and miss when it comes to finding it cheap. Don’t get me wrong there are cheap web hosting options, but how about “super cheap and affordable” web hosting. Less than a dollar is “truly” affordable web hosting and this is a chance to get access to web hosting that is consistent and reliable when it comes to affordable web hosting.
