This week I discovered Siri Dictation on my iPhone  (I will call it, “Siri Speak and Spell”). I wrote this article by speaking to Siri in the car, while she took notes. Below is an edited version, as well as the original version of Siri’s notes. Please enjoy:

Edited Version:

This week I learned to use “Siri Speak and Spell” on my iPhone. Basically, it works by you talking to your iPhone and Siri attempts to write out what you’re saying. She usually fails miserably to do so correctly. It’s perfect when you’re in the car. It’s awesome for Texting and driving, Twittering and driving or just taking notes while driving.

It’s helpful because I come up with ideas driving home, once I leave class. Now I don’t have to risk my life to remember my great ideas. I can now use “Siri Speak and Spell” and look over it later, but I always choose to look over and edit my ideas while driving. So maybe this whole thing is pointless.

Siri usually messes up horribly. Just look below, what the hell is a Mossock or a SolaRola? That is nothing near what I was trying to say. It does work as a good encryption technique, because I am the only one who can understand Siri’s notes.

I used “Siri Speak and Spell” to write this article, while driving, but now I’m editing and changing the everything. Don’t even think about grammar when using “Siri Speak and Spell” because Siri never took those classes in middle school (If she even went to school). She just recognizes sounds and records them.

This article was basically an experiment to see how well Siri could interpret my thoughts into writing. Overall, Siri did a good job. I was able to remember the general idea I was thinking about while driving. I would like to thank the great people at Apple for this sweet technology.

Thank you Steve Jobs, Tim Cook and Gaby.

Siri’s Version:

This week I learned about the whole speak and spell thing on the iPhone sold the whole thing is you just talk to your iPhone and it writes out what you’re saying it’s really good when you’re driving for texting and driving twittering and driving just writing notes and driving all that stuff

It’s really helpful because I come up with ideas for class a lot leaving school while driving and now I don’t have to write terminals crashing to other people I can just say them and the phone will take the notes and later I can look over them and fix it up or whatever just leave it out

Mossock I gets what I’m saying totally wrong fucks everything up doesn’t know what I’m trying to say but usually I can read what I said and I can put all together here so that’s pretty cool

Right now I’m using it to write this article will post tomorrow and looking straight ahead of the road watching the road I speak and it writes it down the grammar in this article is very horrible is it me know. Probably I don’t know I’m do about that organ have to figure it out

SolaRola’s articles like experiment to see how this shit will work and later maybe I’ll fix it up we’ll just have to see I hope we can post both ways the Shadyway and the right way just to show you it’s really cool technology so thank you Apple FAQs Siri and thank you Gabby

This week I learned what Pinterest is. I’m still not totally sure what it does or what it is for, but I’m pretty confident I know what it is. Pinterest is a place, on the internet, where girls post things they like, want or need.

Basically, Pinterest is a place for girlfriends to drop hints about what they want from their boyfriends (It probably won’t work because most of their boyfriends aren’t on it).

Since joining Pinterest, I have yet to “pin” anything, unless I did so on accident. I have gained followers and I have followed people, but I don’t understand why. I hope to explore it a bit more to answer my many unanswered questions.

This week Pinterest went from 10% males to 10.001% thanks to our Pinterest-specific assignment for class. I am glad we have a woman on our team to answer all of our questions about what one can and cannot do on Pinterest.

I like that I can search for any random topic or category and get back unlimited results. I just searched “Chocolate Squirrel” and over 100 pins came up. I even got one with the top ten Anchorman quotes (The chocolate squirrel quote was not on the poster, however it did get an honorable mention in the description).

I guess if you want to know if your “great new invention” has been invented yet, you use Pinterest (or Google). Let’s say you come up with an invention like “Baby Chicken Sweaters.” Well, now before spending your life savings to produce these tiny sweaters, you can check Pinterest to see if someone has already done this.

Damn! At least five people have already successfully knit “Baby Chicken Sweaters.” My new goal on Pinterest is to come up with a search entry that will come up with Zero pins (other than Porn stuff, because there is no nudity on Pinterest, yet).

This week I saw Silver Linings Playbook. Don’t worry, this isn’t a spoiler, I just wanted to let you know what I discovered while watching it. Just from seeing the previews, you will notice that B. Coops is in this film. Also, he is a crazy person. By that I mean he was in a mental institution, and that is all I am going to tell you about the movie. One more thing, it was a great movie and I recommend you go see it.

Now onto my life lesson, watching this movie I realized why people are crazy. Sometimes life can be full of stress and someone can just fall off the wagon. It can happen out of nowhere, or one small thing can trigger something that’s been in the back of your mind forever. It usually isn’t really your fault, some people’s sanity is tested over and over, until finally they snap and just do something insane. When put into that situation, most people would do the same.

I don’t stress over much, but there are two instances that usually stress me out. One is obviously while driving. I mean, I live in Miami, a city full of the worst drivers from every country. I’m not saying I’m a good driver, but I do pay attention to the road, most of the time. The second thing that really stresses me out is video games. Driving and video games bring out the worst in me (you don’t even want to see me while playing a driving video game!).

The other day I was playing my FIFA career. I was the Chelsea manager. Apparently, the X-Box Kinect can hear you when you play, like a spy in your living room. Also, you are supposed to conduct yourself like a decent human being while playing FIFA.

My Chelsea team was on a slump, and after one of my games I received an email about my managers on field conduct. I don’t control the manager, I thought to myself.  After two more games, I received another email. That’s when I realized, they were talking about me. Finally, I was fired as manager of Chelsea FC.

I immediately switched to Madden, because you can say whatever you want. In America coaches and managers say whatever the F**k they want, whether it’s to a player, coach or a referee. Although, cursing at a referee may have some serious consequences.

My Madden game went fine. I got angry, yelled at the TV, scored some virtual touchdowns, but in the end I won and received no emails from the virtual commissioner. I went back to FIFA and started a new season with Chelsea. I am currently working on my behavior while playing video games, at least FIFA. Now in the car, that’s a different stories. If you see me driving behind you don’t be a F&@king @$$h@#$!
