Jott announced some new features today from their email sent out to beta users. If you haven’t used Jott before its a pretty simple but helpful concept. You call their toll-free number, after registering, and leave a voice message. That message is then transcribed into text to be emailed to yourself or someone else. It’s great for leaving yourself or others tasks, reminders, or communicating to groups. Below are some of the new features added:
Jott Links: Now you can update your blog, Twitter™, add to your 30 boxes™ to do list or send a message through Yahoo Groups™ – all with Jott! For example, when Jott asks you “Who do want to Jott” just say “Twitter”, speak your message and your update will appear in text on Twitter…
Jott Reminders: With the new Jott Reminders, Jott can remind you of important events 15 minutes before they start. Just say “Reminder” and Jott will ask you for the date, time, and subject. Now you can stop worrying about remembering those important appointments in your busy life.
Jott Folders: With Jott Folders you create preset categories for your Jotts to self. Set up folders for family, expenses, to-do list, or anything that you want. Then simply say the name of the folder the next time you leave a Jott and it’ll be waiting for you in that folder.
Personally I find this useful in the car or on the go. I can easily set a task or reminder and have it sitting in my inbox the next time I log onto my computer.

There was a small one (4.0) this morning at 7:47am PT about 8 miles off the coast of San Diego.
I recently reported on a site that makes a South Park character of you, here’s another one for The Simpsons…does this look like me?

I’ve got to admit that my secret wish is to know how to play the guitar. Unfortunately, given my job, a wedding coming up, trying to hit the gym more than once a week, and football season starting, there are higher priorities that take up my day. Truth be told, my desire to learn how to play the guitar isn’t nearly as strong and my wish to just know how to play it. Plus any dreams of becoming a rock star went out the window long ago so really, it would just be fun to be able to play some of my favorite songs.
Well there’s a new beta site out there that tries to help those of us that, like me, just want to know how to play a couple of songs. Songs are rated based upon difficulty and there’s video instructions on how to play. Granted, the song selection is limited right now but hopefully that will change.
