The Velvet Pancakes

October 14th, 2011

So, a couple of weeks ago, I find out that a co-worker is in a band. I decide to ask him about it and he tells me the name of the group is ‘The Velvet Pancakes‘.
He proceeds to explain that the name comes from the movie ‘Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story

He tells me that they play ‘Classic Rock’. So I figure that they are just another cover band.

I was totally wrong!

The Velvet Pancakes play all their own music and they play it well. (IMO)

Here is track #1 (‘Push Came to Shove’) from the album ‘Short Stack’.

1 – Push Came To Shove

A certain type of sound that can come from an orchestral bell. (As made Famous by Jhon C. Reiley’s character Dewey Cox in Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story)
“Make it sound like it did last night, that thing where it sounds like velvet pancakes”
- Dewey Cox

Google Translate Android App with 14 language Conversation Mode

October 13th, 2011

Now some of the 190 million Android activations worldwide that Google has just announced, can communicate with each other a bit easier. What I am talking about is the latest update to Google Translate for Android.

This remarkable little app now allows you to ‘conversationally’ translate 14 different languages. Simply choose your language preferences and then click the microphone icon. Speak your words and hit the translate button. The app will also translate any response that your foreign friend may deliver. Allowing you to basically hold a conversation.

This is the beginning! The birth of the Universal Translator. (sorry Hoshi :( )

Google Translate has never been perfect. But it does shine compared to any other translator available.
