Ever have trouble reading an entire Grant rant... try this (video)
Let me start off by saying.... this is more for entertainment than anything else. My poking fun at Grant Peterson is not to be taken seriously.
One thing everyone seems to agree on (even Grant himself) is that he rambles! I read some of the material but usually give up 3/4 through. There is a solution, a very simple one.
Most mac users are probably familiar with the mac speech function. Why not put it to work? Make that computer read to YOU! I occasionally use it, once the computer is reading you can go to another window, you can even close your internet browser and it will keep going! Listen while you browse CL or clean the stack of old big mac wrappers away from your computer desk... they are starting to smell.
Here is my little how to video. I wish I would have loaded the really high quality version, maybe later. Careful, the sound kicks in about halfway through:
For added fun, try the different voices out. The program does a pretty good job pronouncing Campagnolo... well, sort of.
