The elite bloggers shared their latest findings: Blogbard, and BlogRadioTalk! What a bunch of cool apps!

The first one, Blogbard, is all about providing text-2-voice to RSS feeds. I tried it with this blog, and a couple more, and I found it really cool! The voice matches quite well with the text, and, you get to improve your own punctuation with time. How about that?

I do have only one wish: make the voice 2 text for more languages! So far, it works only for english. But, I'd love to see some portuguese (pt AND br), and some french, soon. In the meantime, please enjoy! Here's this site with voice!

The second cool app is blogtalkradio. Users simply make a call, provide some speech, end the call, period.

For the new year's eve, I went with my wife, my friends and friends of my friends to a friend's grand-parents house in rural Portugal. We started planning early, however, although gmail makes a great job at organizing threads, we quickly had scattered data all over the mails thread (we were like over 15 people). This wasn't coordination (disclosure: I've seen wikis in plain english more than fifteen times on the commoncraft show ;) ).

As a grad-student, I'd often like to communicate my thoughts with mathematical expressions. However, writing mathematics in html is not easy. Sure there's mathml, an xml-markup. But where's the interface? And who will actually learn it?

From a practical approach, grad students are often familiarized with latex markup, the de-facto standard for writing beautiful mathematical code. Thus, I'd like to embed latex markup within html code and then obtain in return a beautiful mathematical expression.
