I was having a type at my qwerty keyboard after Allef’s Android Vignette App photoshoot that he was having and my typing was for an email to tell Allef thanks for coming to the photoshoot.

He is a famous guy who likes to get thank you notes in his inbox maybe is where I was coming from.

Then this happened and I told about it inside that Twitter website.

lol I was just perfectly one key to the right in typing my name all the way through and it came out Ntosm.
half a minute ago via TweetDeck

Okay well the post was going to end early because that’s all it was that was supposed to be in the post, but here is some excitement news instead.

Maybe you can imagine Buzz Lightyear is telling you the news and that will make it even more fun?

If you haven’t read the first book I wrote well I need you to go and get it for free on your Kindle or Kindle application and as long as you have a computer or phone you can get it in like two seconds just go do that here and you’ll learn how, and the way is that I’ll send you an Amazon Gift Perk Email.

Thanks I don’t ask favors at you much so boogie down productions. lol

Here comes some technology for you to have fun learning about and also some art.

I like to take cool pictures that are neat with my Android phone and inside the phone there’s the Vignette App and it lives in the phone and makes your pictures have different ways they can become pictures.

One of the ways is a setting that is called “Action Movie” which for sure is the one for me and this is how it works. First I did a button push to make this picture have its birthday.

It seemed pretty good but then I put the dial on the Action Movie setting and it transformered the picture a little, and then even more it gobotted the picture and then here’s what I got.

This guy isn’t getting his cap sunburned either – keep those glasses on!

Also here is one with the Romance setting.

The 23 is for Michael Jordan and how he is a real-deal alpha dawg with courage about how to make his legacy appear.

Some Android night vision?

I was doing conversation texts with my business pal KB and you know her because she has her Twitter fun right here and it’s a for real booty.

And this is where our business pal stuff happens and you know that too because we run that ship in a way that is tight.

Well enough is enough because our texts were celebrating These United States of America and its birthday it was having and I even turned off the way I type now for that to happen.

Me: America

KB: 411

Me: Whenever I’m leaving to go do something will you look at me and say “go get ‘em hero”

KB: Are you asking me to marry you

Me: Yes like next week plz

KB: But I’m not brunette…what will your fans think

Me: We can dye your hair or I can have a press conference explaining my position or both

KB: Can we do the latter?

Me: Sure and will you be backstage with me and say “go get ‘em hero” before I walk out for the press conference

KB Obvs

Me: Can I put this on my blog

KB: No

Also that last part was a part where in real life she was like “Yeah sure lol” but I wanted to make some drama happen like if I made a confrontational blog post for you.

Is that a breath of fresh air.

My Uncle Messes Up Again

by Brian on June 21, 2010

in Family,Google,Misc,Money,Politics

Well, you probably remember how my Uncle Bill Spaeth is always being forgetful with doing things in life because I write about that like every other post.

He did it again with these money guys who want to smelt aluminum and he’s dropping the ball on getting them their permission slips.

These business presidents bought that factory and every day he doesn’t let them smelt old cars it’s messed up for sure.

The June 9 letter was addressed to the City Council, Mayor Bob Burr, City Manager Brian Dissette and Zoning Administrator Bill Spaeth.

Spaeth is on vacation and was not available to comment on whether the smelting operation would be an allowed use under current zoning.

Way to go chief, this is like the time you didn’t mail my application to go on Here Comes the Bachelor in time to get to meet all those babes and go in hot tubs.

Now I’ll be alone forever and those smelting people are with me on how that one happened.

You have to let them smelt the aluminum or it’s messed up just like my life and how I’m not a famous TV stud.

Stop playing golfing.

Google Voices

by Brian on June 12, 2010

in Google

My friend Google Voice gives me his odd transcripts from voicemails and they’re voicemails that sometimes don’t tell me what phone number they’re from.

Here is another one from probably the same place – I hope this isn’t someone trying to give money at me.

I like how this next one makes her voice sound like I did a call at her.

From the Nexus One

in Blogs,Google,LeBron James,Misc,NBA

wpid-2010-04-30-16.19.52.jpgOkay, so this is my first post from the WordPress app on the Google Nexus One Excitement Phone, so bear with me.

I’ve been meaning to try this for awhile but only now got around to it.

That last sentence seemed awkward.

So did that one.

It’s kinda hard to write like this – everything feels like it should be Tweet-length from the phone, plus my hands hurt from playing Home Run Battle 3-D all night on this.

Cavs in 5 – that pic is a tease at the shoulder tattoo fix.

Nexus OneThose of you who have read me for sometime know my many angsts and confusions over when and where my cell phone contract with T-Mobile would run out.

I meant to do a grand tour of all the potential carriers this June, but in the end, the phone I wanted was the Nexus One.

When T-Mobile finally made me eligible for a reasonable upgrade to it last week, I couldn’t resist.

Verizon, you could’ve had me, had you only been more timely and excited about me being with you.

I’m sitting here watching my new Nexus One charge before I fire it up for the first time, and I decided to take one last pic with my Blackberry.

The picture is of the Nexus One, and it’s the picture that’s inside this internet blog post.

Sometimes there are days when you need a Fresca?

Shadii as Inflatable Ben

by Brian on December 28, 2009

in Google,Holidays,WSM?

Hey I will not be posting anything this week other than this – everything I’m doing this week is like super private and personal, and writing about any of it will make me have conflicts with how shy I am.

Here’s a little vid we threw together of Shadii doing the voice of Inflatable Ben in Who Shot Mamba? – this type of content is only available on the Facebook Page, so like go there or whatever.

If you’re going to be in the Atlantic Ocean for New Year’s Eve, please call my Google Voicemail number, and we can meet up and have a Spring Break Christmas.

Oh wow – that’s a great title for something. This is why I continue to blog – things like that just come out. Happy Holidays!

My Google Voice Number

by Brian on December 23, 2009

in Google

Okay, so due to the disorienting success of the Google Voice transcription experiment the other day, I’ve had several people ask how they can join in the fun.

As such, I set up this Google Voice number that goes directly to Google Voicemail, where you can sing, or say stupid things, or wish people a Merry Christmas Day and a Happy New Year’s Eve Day or whatever.

I will then post it here on my online broadband blog, and send you a free present.

Google Voice
The real question here is why would I go to the trouble to make like this nice graphic to display this number, when I have much better things to be doing at 4am?

By the way, if you’re looking for my thoughts on Avatar, I quite simply agree with everything Calvin Stadiums said about it in his blog post yesterday.

Also – I’ve got three Voice invites. If you need one, let me know.

Google Voice Forever

by Brian on December 21, 2009

in Google

Saturday morning I wasn’t doing much, so I asked a few people on Twitter to call me – I wanted to do some more Google Voice voicemail transcription experiments.

Here are a couple of slightly contrasting results. Here is the first transcription:

Ohh my god, I’m about to the client like the Brian phone them on the movie. I wanna I’m so excited. I can hardly stand it. 08. Cause I can I get a call coming in. It’s Tom Cruise gotta go bye.

That was obtained from this:

Not bad really. And the second…

Yeah went. And I’m gonna Anna, karan Ann and we are an animal, and it’s mom, but it and and and and let you know. And it for an man.

Here’s what was actually said:

In a word…LOL.

If you want to call and play this game with me, let me know and I’ll get you my number. And ladies, if you want me to identify you, let me know – I wasn’t sure how proud or horrified you were by this.
