I heart my Kanguru!
I got a new toy and it is SO COOL!
It’s a Kanguru Audio Flash USB thumb drive all in one 1 GIG voice recorder, mp3 player, FM radio, data drive, music recorder, 10 hrs battery life, takes one AAA batttery, it KICKS ASS! It is just SO VERY COOL!!!
And you know places like Target and Best Buy and CompUSA don’t sell stuff like this! I’ve looked (and looked and looked).

There’s this guy at MIT who I saw on the news, Sunil Vemuri, who records his entire life using his PDA and then runs the audio thru voice-recognition software to convert it all to text so that he can always go back by date or using search to find what somebody said, to find things he said outloud to remember, such as phone numbers, etc. It’s a great tool for people with memory problems (or people who just love to document their life). I’d love to do that same thing. I don’t have software to convert audio to text, though. But for fun, I’ve been recording my entire days w/ this Kanguru thing. It comes w/ a leather case and I found a black leather bracelet (leather strap) so I can wear it on my wrist. It’s been fun recording everything.
Right now I’m ont saving the files or anything. But it should would be cool to be able to do what Sunil does and convert it all to text.
I will definately be adding this to my list of “Favorite Things”.
