speechification

I'm slightly embarrassed by my last post, so I'm pushing it off the top of my blog asap. With this quick plug for Speechification.

If you haven't heard of it - or heard it - you should. I've started downloading the podcasts to my iPod to help endure public transport. They make me feel grown up and interesting; things I can only claim to be sporadically. Check out Will Self's Psychogeography and Zine Scene in particular.

See, it's not all toilet humour here.

pdf to mp3?

God, I'm on fire today.

I tell you what we need, a bit of software (of course) that turns pdfs and word docs into mp3s/podcasts. I've still got Faris' IPA thesis to read, but it's 60 bloody pages. I can't read it on-screen and I feel slightly guilty about using the printer where I'm freelancing for that much paper.

Anything out there that can do that?... Faris, maybe you could read it out Willie Rushton-style and record it..
