Murals by Rebecca
The brief (4 min) video above is with a co-worker who paints wall murals. She thought a video might help show-and-tell her art. I mention this here because it was just so easy to do with iMovie and the Comic Book theme added a little pizzazz. I need to check to see if there are more themes out there. I’m surprised that Apple only provide half a dozen.
Lesson learned from this mini-project: Edit out my questions wherever possible.

Google Voice now for everyone
Google Voice was “invitation only” for a long time but now they’ve opened it up so I’m going to start using the number I’ve had for a while. Only way I’m going to get the hang of it. Video above runs about 90 sec. The link in the sidebar will probably take you to my voice-mail, at least until I learn the ropes.
Image above is the Google Voice in-box. Google Voice does a fair job of transcribing the voice mail message (close enough). I can also play the message, of course.
I also received an email that had pretty much the same thing. You can also set it up for a text alert.
Google voice does a lot more but I’m not going to try to explain it until I have a better grasp. And the video at the top of this post really has all you need.
While I might not wan to give out my mobile number to everyone, I can safely give out my Google Voice number (573-200-6776) and rely on Google to help me manage it all. For example, I can have Barb’s calls come straight to my iPhone… while sending calls from her sister right into voice-mail.

Notational Velocity and Simplenote
This little screencast runs under 5 min and features two of my favorite tools for taking notes. Notational Velocity is an application that stores and retrieves notes. Really fast. Simplenote replaces the Notes app on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad and lets you access your notes from anywhere.
