Techie Tidbits

Thanks to Jason and Kip I've uncovered these wonderfully helpful online *free* services.


The first is Jott found at www.jott.com

It is a message taking service that you can use from any phone. If you've got an idea and need to write it down but just can't get to a piece of paper? Dial up Jott and it will transcribe your message and send it to your e-mail, blog or even someone else's e-mail. Pretty cool.




The other is I Want Sandy found at www.iwantsandy.com

Sandy is your personal assistant and can be linked to jott. What does sandy do? you can go to the website and set up reminders for yourself... some one's birthday, need to pick up stuff at the store, or whatever. Sandy will then either e-mail or text your phone with the reminder.

These two used together could enhance the quality of your life. How?

Suppose you want to stop off at the market and get six things after work. You dial up jott and dictate your list. It gets sent to Sandy (your personal assistant) and then she sends you a reminder (both via e-mail to your CPU and text to your cell) that you need to go to the store.

Is this an example of technology actually helping us?
