For a long time, I wanted to get a copy of the full version of Dragon Naturally Speaking so that I could dictate blog posts into my computer. However, Nuance made a smaller, compact version of their speech recognition software for the iPhone. I’ve been using the Dragon Dictation app on my iPhone to dictate blog posts...

I had a few ideas for blog posts last year that never made it to the light of day. They were either not fleshed out very well or I was just too busy to finish them at the moment.

I don’t mind the jones,...
