I am not really able to stay in touch with the kids I work with in the prison system, but I hope he is doing okay. Maybe someday he will do a google search and pop in here to let us know.

I found this story particularly touching. In fact, upon rereading it this moment, it brings tears to my eyes.

Yes, Fernando Luis Cartagena was my dad. Yes he was a great man and a great dad! I am very surprised to find out here about him and his little guy Luis Alberto. How is Luis Alberto doing? We would like to know about him! Please if you now about him let us know at this blog.

Thanks

Wow, what a family blog. Feels like I'm invading your personal space just reading this.

Can't stand tomatoes myself. I love them, don't get me wrong, but JUST tomatoes? Ugh.

No problemo.
I'm planning to learn the API for a home automation project. See http://hackaday.com/2009/02/14/voice-controlled-home-automation/ for examples (though he uses Windows' proprietary HAS API).

That is awesome. I just installed it, and it gives pretty good results, a lot better than from what I remember of the nineties. Learn something new every day. Thanks.

If you know how to use Festival you can have an instant audio book for your listening pleasure. Run Festival on STDOUT and pipe it to a file.

Can't compare with the professionally recorded readings, of course, but it helps when you're reading and driving the car at the same time. I'll never forget that time I hit & run two elderly women just because I had to flip a page.. Then again, it WAS the Oxford Illustrated. Now I only read paperbacks when driving.
