I broke down last week and got a GPS too.  I set things up with gpsdrive so
that Evelyn and Kevin can watch me drive around using a map displayed on
thheir computers, similar to the display I have in my van.  That was fun.

Yeah, I seem to be having a weird problem where sometimes the 'g' key gets
really sensitive to auto-repeat...  Weird.

Yeah, maybe...  I'm not sure about speech recognition thuogh.  My van is
pretty damn noisy on the highway.  So loud I often can't hear my phone
ringing...

I was planning to use festival to produce speech output, but haven't really
had the need to yet.  So much to do...

Yeah, I really should try that.  I snagged a copy of the map, I want to see
what I can do with that...  I haven't been driving that much long-distance
these days though.

Thanks,
Sean
