Congratulations to me… Mr. Oregon

A Fun Friday break from the daily grind…

I like Friday’s.  Truth be told, I like all seven days, but Friday just seems more fun (even though as a real estate broker I don’t really get weekends “off”).  I also like Google Voice.  Truth be told, I love Google Voice.  I had the predecessor, Grand Central, way back in 2007, and when Google bought them, I just had to hope they wouldn’t ruin a good thing.  They haven’t… in fact, they’ve added to it by creating an entertainment value.

What do you mean, Mitch?

Well GVoice transcribes all my voice mails, and I get a txt and email of that transcription before I actually get to the voicemail itself.  And its in that transcription where all today’s Friday Fun is to be found.

Take a look at the screenshot from a recent GVoice transcript… (click to enlarge)

There you have it.  Me.  Mr. Oregon.  Google even says so.  Let my rain reign begin.

Enjoy your weekend.

Clark County, Olympic Ties and How to Actually See Them

Yes, we all know that the Olympics are starting today.  Not like that’s a breaking news story. And here in Clark County, we even have some of our own participating.

But since all the action is happening half-way across the world, unless you keep (my kind of) night-owl hours, you will miss most of the fun.  Of course, NBC seemingly owns has broadcast rights to the Olympics, and you can see lots of programming there… but what if you tire of their announcers or angle?  You are out of luck, right?

Not necessarily.

Thanks to the wonder that is Internet technology, there are now loads of other ways to watch the Olympics. Here is a list of websites that offer various Olympic coverage.

Enjoy, be sure to cheer on our local and native Clark County participants, and look forward to Vancouver hosting our own Winter Olympics two short years from now.

Oh, wait, that’s the OTHER Vancouver.  (I was wondering how they were going to do the Giant Slalom on St. Helens…)
