Keeping track of a good idea
I Have a 15 minute walk to work. I think I probably get 65% of the best creative thinking for the entire day during my walk to and from the office. I came up with 3 or 4 excellent topics to write about today. Unfortunately, due to some bad choices I have made regarding chemical intake in my formitive years, and that I had some wine last night – I forgot them, well most of them.
I use Dragon Naturally Speaking at home. It actually works pretty well. I will be thrilled when its flawless. This got me to thinking, when are we going to be able to phone in blog posts? If you think about it, it really wouldn’t be that difficult. I am guessing that it will happen with Twitter first since. The short character limit of the messages and the explosion in popularity, it makes sense. The problem is, it’s really easy to text message 146 characters. So an actual blog post would be great.
I know some people call their own voice mail and leave their thoughts as a message, and I supposed I could carry one of those mini-recorders, but thats just one more gadget to fill my pockets. I just want to call my blog and post my thoughts. This will happen, I am sure. I just wish it would happen now.
I guess for the time being I will just try to salvage what I can from my fried short term memory.
Oh another practical use would be for prisoners. I see there are a lot of prison blogs, I assume they are dictated over the phone or sent in by snail mail.
