How to: Add a Event to your Calendar with just a Phone Call to Jott

How often do you find out about an event that needs to be on the calendar but you are far from your organizer? Since you know I love tools that keep me productive I want to show you this new way to get things on your calendar by talking it into your phone. It works with a free service called Jott and the free Google Calendar. Here’s what Jott has to say about it:

Why is this cool? Because you can now create a Google Calendar event in a single step, from anywhere, simply using your voice. Just call Jott, say “Google Calendar”, and then the time of the event and what it’s about….and you’re done. We’ll take your voice, convert it to text, and insert it into your calendar for you.

I tested this myself and this video shows how it went:

Art Inspired by Spam Email

I was checking out the latest bargain art at 20×200 and found this awesome geeky art by Linzie Hunter. The typography is so creative and fun to look at. The geek part is that this series is based on subject lines of spam email she receives. How cool would it be to visit the IS/IT department at work and see some art based on spam?! Here’s how she puts it:

Don’t Put Off Your Happy Life is part of an ongoing series of typographic works based on and inspired by the subject lines of spam emails arriving to my computer. Removed from their original context these nonsense and nuisance messages are recycled into amusing, entertaining and sometimes inspirational meditations for modern life.

Check out more of her work at the Thumbtack Press web site.

What is your inspiration to create? The next inspiration may be from that place you never look.
