A couple of my friends over at Traveling Munchies asked me to join them in an episode of Traveling Munchies Radio. For those not in the know, Traveling Munchies Radio is grown men talking inappropriately seriously about snack food.
If you like monkeys, pumpkins or pound cake, or if you'd just like to hear my voice in cell-phone quality, you should check it out! It's... entertaining, at very least.

Photoshop Flailing: Cracked.com and a request
Decided to bust out the ol' Photoshop and whip up a few pictures. My topic was for the weekly Cracked.com reader submission, who wanted to know what it would take for network televisions to increase viewership. My submissions (thusfar) are below, click on any of them for a higher resolution picture.
The obvious way, to me at least, is to get right in front of the viewer:
YEAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
This one is likely to put a smile on your face.
A reality show based on Keith Richards' life? Sign me up!
In the season finale, we discover he's been dead for 12 years.
And this one isn't for Cracked, but rather my friends over at Traveling Munchies:
Animal Crackers!

Got Jott?
A voice sprang from the phone, tough to make out with it being on speaker. "Jott feeds," my coworker replied. Jott feeds? Is that even English he's speaking? "The Unwind" my coworker bellows. Suddenly, it's yesterday's post... being read to me over the phone! My jaw hit the floor.
That co-worker was, of course, one of the masterminds behind Traveling Munchies. Anyone who's been to their site knows they are no stranger to the new, trendy technologies so it was no surprise that he had discovered Jott.
Jott (http://www.jott.com/) is a really cool, robust text-to-speech service that allows you to speak reminders, calendar dates, emails or whatever into your phone, encode it into text and send it where you'd like it to go. Or you can manage it all online using their slick interface. It also lets you read anything that has an RSS feed over the phone by reading it to you.
As an aside, the voice is a little creepy, reminding me of GlaDOS from Portal a little bit. But whatever, you can finally listen to The Unwind from your phone! Right? ....Right? Is this thing on?
There are different service tiers, and I'm using only the basic free one, but I'm very happy with the service. Its interface is slick, and I'm still figuring out all the bells and whistles this thing has (hint: it's a lot). I can say that it really is incredible the scope of this little service, and I highly recommend that you try it out for yourself. I've added a "listen to this site" button over on the right for ease of access.

The internet's best kept secret
No, I'm not referring to the emails for "C1@L@$" or "V14gR4" that you can buy for 30% off if you act now. I'm talking about a blog some of my coworkers maintain called Traveling Munchies.
Traveling Munchies is devoted to all things that come out of a vending machine. This is essentially the by-product of both too much free time and an unnatural, yet healthy, love for unnatural and unhealthy snacks. They have vending machine recipes, exotic snacks from faraway lands, an insane collection of potato chip bags, and even edible candle alternatives.
This blog is nothing if not interesting, and I've added it to the collection over on the right. Bon Appétit!
