Incidentally, if you want to do similar voice matching of text-to-speech yourself I believe that the open source Festvox project has supported doing this for a few years now, though it's not terribly well-documented. See festvox/src/vc/HOWTO. You'll need to record some sample phrases in your own voice for the voice transformation code to work from, but apparently the Microsoft demo requires that too.

A pump-and-dump scheme is kind of like a snake oil venture. It requires a good salesman that can work up a crowd. With an engaging, outgoing personality (not an introverted nerd).
Can you imagine a BitOil scheme, created by computer nerds, writing mail to people and explaining how it's superior to regular snake oil due to its technical features such as (blah blah). It ain't gonna work. You need to get a hot chick, a magic act, a shill, a strongman, and put an act together.

At dusk this Thursday, DIY astronomers can witness a “conjunction” between the brightest objects in the night sky, a crescent moon and Venus (the brightest planet). It will look like two jewels twinkling in the night sky, Mr. Dickinson says. If you miss it Thursday night, you get another chance on Feb. 25 and March 26.
Also this spring, Venus passes Jupiter for three nights from March 11 to 13, which means the two brightest planets will appear close to each other.

Movie: The Prestige
Success is getting what you want; happiness is wanting what you get.
Don't lose Your head
To gain a minute
You need your head
Your brains are in it.

I’d say the most important thing to be happy in any job is having intrinsic motivation for it. I often quote Daniel H. Pink’s motivation mantra, but here we go again, you need three things in your job to be motivated: autonomy, purpose and mastery. So you have to be able to direct your own way of working, you have to see some goal you’re going for and then you have to be able to perfect your skills and learn more. These are not very hard criteria to fill as an entrepreneur.
Malcolm Gladwell quips in Outliers...
"Those three things – autonomy, complexity, and a connection between effort and reward — are, most people agree, the three qualities that work has to have if it is to be satisfying."
Jonathan: My favorite of the moment is the the kinetic typography video that Jared Heather made:. It's just an incredible piece of work. The theater department at Boston College created and staged a musical called Code Monkey made up of a lot of my songs, that was kind of awe inspiring to watch. A guy named Spiff makes great World of Warcraft music videos music videos for my songs (and other people's songs). And recently I was listening again to a remix of Code Monkey done by Kristen Shirts. She won a remix contest with a version that I liked so much, it changed the way I play the song live . It also led to her playing ukulele at shows with me a few times. There are a lot of others I'm forgetting now I'm sure.
