Lotusguru update

As many of you know, Kevin Pettitt suffered some injuries recently when he tried to solve the greenhouse gas problem all on his own by taking out all SUVs in the DC area, one at a time.  His first intended victim was driving down Connecticut Ave when he attacked.  Unfortunately for Kevin, the mass of his body and bicycle weren't enough to wipe out the wretched vehicle.  Not only that, but he was unceremoniously ejected from his seat and thrown to the ground.  Oh, the humanity of it all!  Well, I spoke with Kevin yesterday via Skype and he assured me that he was not defeated completely and he would be coming back with a vengeance.  Just like Bruce Willis! 

In all seriousness, Kevin's injuries are quite serious, but not life threatening.  He's had surgery on his funny bone which will hopefully improve his sense of humor.  He also has a broken collarbone and multiple lacerations and contusions.  He's not able to work right now since he can't type very well, so he is using this time to investigate the voice assisted computing programs available.  If you want to reach him to check how he's doing, you can call him on Skype at lutusguru.

    Sean,

    This is not exactly how I remembered our conversation, however I like your version better.

    While it is true that I am only able to type with one hand, I am at this very moment using a new piece of software called Dragon NaturallySpeaking to dictate this comment. So far I have not had to make a single correction. May I just say that this is freaking cool?

    Although I doubt I will ever be glad that I had the accident, discovering this software may prove to be a silver lining around an otherwise dark time.haven't explored all of the features yet, but one of the things that the setup included was a step to read Lotus Notes mail in order to learn my writing style. I'm not sure what it learned but it seems to be doing a good job so far.

    I will undoubtedly be blogging more about the software, and indeed blogging more in general, in the near future.

    -- Kevin
