I'm an art student currently living in Providence and finishing up my last semester.
My interests are emerging technologies, art, and communications. I picked up photography in about 2006 after receiving a classical training in drawing and painting in Chicago.
I currently have a limited amount of time for poster design, photography, and video work:

Douchiest parking job in the world. Ever.
He's about 3.5 feet from the wall. Half-way blocking the entrance, which isn't very wide to begin with. Taking up two spaces.
Nebraska was probably happy to be rid of him.

Dragon Dictation comes to the iPhone. Wow.
Put this into the 'I didn't think they could ever get this to work on an iPhone' category. I'm talking about Dragon Dictation [iTunes link] from Nuance, the developers of the very popular Dragon Naturally Speaking for the PC. Nuance also provides the speech recognition engine for MacSpeech Dictate on the Mac platform. To dictate on the iPhone you just launch the app, press the record button, and start talking. Your dictation can be a brief sentence, or a much longer treatise. Once the text has been created from your speech, it's possible to email it, send it as a text message, or put the result in your clipboard. After recording your message, you can edit the resulting text before you send it off for others to read. It's pretty slick! When you record your message, it is quickly transmitted to Nuance servers where a speech recognition algorithm is run against your data. The resulting text is returned to your iPhone very quickly; my informal benchmarks showed that it took about a second for text to be processed on a Wi-Fi network, and less than 5 seconds over 3G. You'll need a data connection for the app to work, but having this speech-to-text capability is going to be very important to a lot of people, who will find all sorts of uses for it.
For those holding out on buying an iphone because of giant sausage thumbs too clumsy to type on a screen. :)
