I’ve had some fun today making the text-to-speech software generate artist and album “voice overs” for the promos I’ve done so far, but these last two are definitely the most challenging and amusing yet. I had to come up with creative misspellings that the software would interpret in something resembling the way I wanted. In one case it took me most of five minutes.

I don’t want to give away the identities of the artists yet, but believe me, when you see them you’ll understand why I had so much fun with their VOs…

During the oh-dark-thirty, wee-hours stretch of the last Blogathon, what kept me going was Serial Experiments Lain. Not because it was great anime, mind you, but because it was bizarre, obscure and oft-times annoying. So if push comes to shove, I’m certain I have some weird, goofy, possibly annoying anime laying around that’ll keep me going until 6am.

I mean, why mess with a proven formula, right?

In case you were worried that I was going to completely run out of big ideas, have no fear. I’ve just been reminded of a very good other category of entry for this here Blogathon, and it plays directly into something I enjoy doing a lot: Playing City of Heroes.

Just you wait, true believers.

And by “wait” I mean “wait another hour, please.” Thanks. I need one more filler post before I go back onto full duty…
