software/hardware/webware recommendations
Three things:
Thanks! :)
- I've been having a lot of migraines lately. Enough that I'm thinking I'd like to try to be productive during the less intense ones. I was thinking of maybe getting some voice recognition software so I can at least dictate ideas or stories or emails or something while I'm lying down and waiting to be able to look at my computer screen again. Does anyone who has used such software have recommendations? And how plausible do you think this plan is? Like, can I tell it to open up Word or something and then dictate a whole bunch of stuff without ever looking at the screen, and just go edit it later?
- I'm planning starting a blog soon on how to effectively and quantifiably make a difference and advocate for the kinds of changes you want to see in the world (more on this soon). Any suggestions as to the best blogging site out there? I want something somewhat customizable, but mostly just easy to set up and dependable. I was looking at squarespace.com, which looks nifty and very easily customizable to include Twitter and all sorts of other stuff, but it's not free and it's still newish. Anyone tried it or know someone who has?
- I think I might be starting at least one podcast soon. I have no idea how to do that -- in terms of hardware especially. Anyone done this or have good suggestions on how to start? I'm of course also asking Google for help, and have found a few guides, but if any friends have advice from experience, that would be most welcome.
Thanks! :)
