A couple days ago, I rebuilt Des' hard drive due to a Doublespace glitch (tape backups are very handy!), which gave us enough hard drive space to install some previously unused kid's software.One is the IntelPlay Sound Morpher software. It comes with a neato little handheld digital recorder, but the software has some other cool tools -- one being a text-to-speech converter. It's pretty low-tech (not even cut-and-paste), but we both had plenty of fun with it. Des' first experiment resulted in the loudest giggles. My favorite is a touch of old-school computer entertainment. All kinds of fun! I'm looking for a use of this software in a future Backwash column, and possibly the outgoing message on my celphone's voicemail.
In other news, I just got back from seeing Minority Report. Damn good movie. I've heard complaints about plot holes, but I didn't preceive them...the holes are there only if you base your perception on things the movie later disproves. That's all I'll say. Go see it.
