I am a veracious reader. Well, kinda that's not entirely true. It's more that I can listen to 1 or 2 audiobooks a week plus several podcasts. This is perfect for me because I can work on electronics and do chores around the house while digesting media. The thing that kills me is when people give me hundreds of pages of text to read. I recently discovered that there are multiple ways on osx using default tools to convert text to audio files.
My preferred way to is to run the text through the "say" command. Make sure it is UTF-8 formatted text file.
$ say -o data.m4a -f data.txt
The other option is you can go into
System Preferences --> Keyboard --> Keyboard Shortcuts --> Services --> Text --> Add to iTunes as a spoken track
Now whenever text is selected you have a option to have a audiofile appear in itunes of what is in your clipboard.

This is a photo of my son and one of his best buddies. It is hard to believe that the boys will be moving on to middle school next year and that they will be going to different schools. Thankfully they have an amazing friendship (and so do our families) so we will share many days at the beach together in the years to come.
September 25, 2016 - The following text comes from Galapagos Conservation Trust website: "The Galapagos flightless cormorant is an endemic species to Galapagos and is not only the heaviest cormorant species, but also the one which cannot fly out of 29 species. As the name suggests, they cannot fly away and are therefore confined to the lava shoreline and beaches of Isabela and Fernandina. The adults are black on top and dark brown underneath with bright turquoise eyes. They have stunted wings that are one third the size of the wingspan they would require to fly. They have four webbed toes (like all members of the cormorant family) and the females tend to be smaller than the males. Natural selection led to the species no longer having functional wings as they had very few land predators, and individuals that were better suited to swimming were more successful in passing on their genes.
Currently there are around 1,000 breeding pairs of flightless cormorants on Isabela and Fernandina. Although their wings are stunted, they are used for balance when the cormorant jumps from rock to rock along the coast. As their wings don’t produce very much oil, they have lost some of their waterproofing so after a dive they can be seen to hold their wings out in order for them to dry.
Their diet consists mainly of eels and octopus, which they reach by diving deep to the ocean floor. Unlike penguins, they do not ‘fly’ underwater, but tuck in their wings and kick with their powerful hind legs, using their flexible necks to spear octopus and fish from inside small refuges in the reefs and rocks. On the surface they sit very low in the water, with only their necks visible from a distance.
Couples perform a strange and unique courtship dance that involves them intertwining their necks whilst twirling in a tight circle. The mated pair then makes a nest a few metres from the sea out of seaweed, flotsam and jetsam.
Most eggs are laid between May and October, which are the coldest months, resulting in an abundance of marine food and less heat stress on the hatchlings. The eggs are incubated for 35 days until they hatch, after which the parents take turns to feed the chicks. Eventually the male is left to care for the chick and the female starts a new breeding cycle, which can happen up to three times in one season. When the chicks become adults, they develop the trademark blue eyes"

May 31, 2013-New York-Governor Cuomo announced actions to strengthen penalties for texting-while-driving to protect New Yorkers on the road. The Governor has directed the state Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to implement tougher penalties for texting-while-driving for all drivers effective tomorrow and proposed new penalties for texting-while-driving for young and new drivers. In addition, the Governor has directed the New York State Police to increase enforcement of the texting-while-driving ban during the summer starting this weekend. This will mean more checkpoints and troopers patrolling on the roads across the state throughout the summer when more drivers are on the road.
Text from the Greensburg greentown Site:
Students from KSU’s College of Architecture and Design are working on a project to design and build several 10’x10’x10’ modular buildings (in the shape of cubes), which will be positioned around town. Each cube will have both a practical function, and serve as an “education station” informing users about green technology and products. Their goal is to have 3-4 of these little buildings ready for delivery to town by the weekend of the first anniversary of the tornado in May.
The following very clever designs are coming to Greensburg:
* ICE CUBE - a source of drinking water for residents and workers during the rebuilding process, with a cooling feature in the summer. This cube will educate users about water conservation techniques, and will serve as a rain water collection station. (designed by Jacob Henley and Melody Meek)
* GREEN HAUS - a cube depicting models of various types of sustainable building materials and techniques; will include a LEED checklist.
* RECYCLING BIN - will serve not only as a portable collection site, but will educate users about the recycling process with an interactive learning system. (designed by Laura Wilke)
* LITTER BOX - a restroom featuring composting toilets and showers using recycled water.
KSU Professor of Architecture Larry Bowne and his students have made a couple of trips to town, attending February's Resource Fair, and presenting to the City Council. The Green Club will assist the KSU folks with the Recycling Bin project, and will take responsibility for it once it comes home to Greensburg. Students who have made the trip from Manhattan include: Adrienne Stolwyk (Greensburg Community Liaison), Aaron Vanderpool (PR Director), Malcolm Watkins (Construction Manager), Jessica Williams (Materials Sourcing Director), Sally Maddock, Melody Meek and Laura Wilke.
The Cube project is in part funded by Waterlink, a program of the Kansas Department of Health and the Environment, whose mission is to improve water quality through partnerships between universities and local communities.

This is a bifolium from a Glossed copy of the Pauline Epistles that was very probably made in France, but could possibly have be made in Germany, c.1180.
The main text starting on page 1 is from Corinthians I, chapter 12 beginning in verse 26 through to chapter 13 and ending in verse 11 on page 2. On page 3, the main text starts at Corinthians I, chapter 16 in verse 18. It continues through to the end of that Epistle and is followed by Corinthians II, chapter 1, verse 1, ending in verse 10 on page 4.
Chapter 13 of Corinthians I begins nine lines from the bottom of the Biblical text with the famous words “If I were to speak in the language of men, or of Angels, yet not have charity, I would be like a clanging bell or a crashing cymbal” .
The main text is generally to the inside of the page with the commentary (Great Gloss by Peter Lombard) to the outside of the page. However, there is Gloss under the main text on page 1 and above and below the main text on page 3. Also in page 3, the opening of the new Epistle is surrounded by the Gloss.
There is a third element to the text that is infrequently, if ever, found elsewhere. At the end of the first Epistle, there are four lines of rubrics which look to be a single entity. But they are not. They are three separate rubrics that make it very clear what the texts actually are. The first translates to “Here ends the Great Gloss of Master Peter and the First Epistle to the Corinthians of the Blessed Paul”. The second, which is immediately above the biblical text, translates to “Here begins the Second Epistle to the Corinthians of the Blessed Paul”. The third, which is immediately above the beginning of the new Gloss translates to “Here begins the Great Gloss of Master Peter to the Second Epistle to the Corinthians of the Blessed Paul”.
The size of the complete leaf is 440mm x 335mm. The maximum size of the bifolium is 440mm x 590mm.
The leaf is ruled in plummet and the Gloss is written above the top line.
There are prickings in both the inside and outside margins and at the outside margins the ruled lines extend approx. 25mm beyond the text where there is a vertical line used to assist the placing of the “authorities”.
It is very difficult to see if the ruled lines continue across the full width of the page. If they do, the texts must have been written in a somewhat haphazard way. On the most complete page (page 4) there are 68 lines of Gloss and 47 lines of Bible text.
The “authorities” down the sides of the columns are interesting. Most are Ambrose, there are three of Augustine two of which give their origin (see page 2 near the bottom) and there is one that is “Oppositio”.
In the top margin of page 4, in red, is the heading “ad corinthios scd'a”.
PAGE LAYOUT: -
Certain Books of the Bible had "gloss" attached to them from about the second quarter of the twelfth century. Over time pages were set out in several different ways to accommodate the gloss. The page layout here is from about the time that the main text being in a narrow column with the Gloss along side of it changed to the method of writing the main text against the left hand edge of the column with the gloss surrounding it on three sides. Whilst the layout of this bifolium does not conform exactly to any of the figures in “Glossed Books of the Bible and the Origins of the Paris Book Trade” (C.R.F. de Hamel, 1984) it does probably indicate that it was produced about at the time that the chang was taking place, i.e. c.1180.
OVERALL CONDITION: -
It has to be said that this bifolium is somewhat of a wreck!. There are many folds and creases, page 2 is particularly dirty making most of the text unreadable and large parts of pages 1 and 2 are missing from the top (particularly) and bottom of the leaf. When used as a cover of a book page 2 must have been the front because of the later additions added to it. There are several holes down the centre of the bifolium where it must have been attached to the book that it covered. Pages 3 and 4 have parts of the outside edge missing and as mentioned above, most of the colour is missing from the illuminated initials.
GENERAL COMMENTS: -
Not withstanding its condition, this is an interesting bifolium because it dates from the time that great changes were taking place in the layout of Glossed Books of the Bible and it has illumination of the highest order. It is a chance survival from what must have been a spectacular manuscript. I am very lucky to have found it.
PETER LOMBARD: -
Peter Lombard (ca. 1095-1160), also known as the "Master of the Sentences" or "the Lombard", was ascholastic theologian and bishop of the 12th century. Lombard was born in Lumellogno, near Novara, Italy, to a poor family. He must have begun his education in Italy, most likely at the cathedral schools of Novara and Lucca. The patronage of Otto, bishop of Lucca, and of St. Bernard allowed him to leave Italy and further his studies at Reims and Paris. In Paris, he came into contact with Peter Abelard and Hugh of St. Victor, who were among the leading theologians of the time. Around 1145, Peter became a "magister," or professor, at the cathedral school of Notre Dame in Paris. In 1159, he was named bishop of Paris.
Peter Lombard wrote commentaries on the Psalms and the Pauline epistles; however, his most famous work by far was Libri Quatuor Sententiarum, or the Four Books of Sentences, which became the standard textbook of theology at the medieval universities.

In the Early Buddhist Texts, the term "Middle Path" (Majjhimāpaṭipadā) was used in the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta (SN 56.11, and its numerous parallel texts), which the Buddhist tradition regards to be the first teaching that the Buddha delivered after his awakening. In this sutta, the Buddha describes the Noble Eightfold Path as the Middle Way which steers clear of the extremes of sensual indulgence and self-mortification

“Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers.

Choose a three-piece suit on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life…
But why would I want to do a thing like that?
I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin’ else.
And the reasons? There are no reasons.

Este imponente conjunto destaca, en primer lugar, por sus enormes dimensiones. Iniciado a finales del siglo XVI conserva el carácter de fortificación militar propio de la arquitectura religiosa de esa centuria; de ello era consciente el último obispo español de Oaxaca, Antonio Bergosa, cuando se acuarteló ahí para resistir el avance de las tropas de José María Morelos durante la guerra de Independencia. El religioso inglés Thomas Gage, uno de los cronistas más valiosos del periodo colonial, pudo ver en la década de 1620 la conclusión de la obra, anotando que el grueso de sus muros permitía que por ellos circulase una carreta tirada por bueyes, y destacó el enorme poder económico de los dominicos de Oaxaca. Ya en nuestros días, un agudo observador, el autor anglo-estadounidense Oliver Sacks, al recoger en un diario recientemente publicado sus impresiones de viaje por Oaxaca en el año 2000, menciona algo semejante: “Es un templo enorme, deslumbrante... sin un centímetro que no esté dorado. Esta iglesia produce cierta sensación de poder y riqueza, los del ocupante”. A continuación se interroga, como hombre moderno, por el otro lado de la moneda: “Me pregunto qué cantidad de todo ese oro fue obtenida en las minas por esclavos”. Se detiene Sacks, por último, en la que es quizá la obra de arte colonial más peculiar de todo Oaxaca: el célebre árbol genealógico policromado, esculpido en estuco en la parte inferior de la bóveda que sostiene el coro de esta iglesia. Dice Sacks: “En el techo está pintado un gigantesco árbol dorado, de cuyas ramas penden nobles tanto de la corte como eclesiásticos: la Iglesia y el Estado mezclados, como un solo poder”.
El interior del templo es de una sola nave, de casi setenta metros de largo, con capillas laterales a ambos lados, y tiene anexa una capilla, la del Rosario. El retablo dorado de esta última y el de la nave principal son de apariencia colonial, pero fueron ejecutados a mediados del siglo XX siguiendo las ideas de restauración propuestas por el francés Viollet-le-Duc en el siglo XIX. En cuanto al ex convento, lo más sobresaliente es el museo alojado ahí, que atesora las grandes obras de las culturas zapoteca y mixteca de Oaxaca. Sorprende principalmente el valioso hallazgo realizado por Alfonso Caso en 1932 en la Tumba 7 de la ciudad arqueológica conocida hoy como Monte Albán (anteriormente Teutlitepec), que consiste en un imponente conjunto de piezas de oro primorosamente trabajadas, así como ornamentos de cristal de roca y alabastro finamente tallados y delicados relieves de hueso labrado, además de cuentas de jade y turquesa. Notable es el acervo del museo en esculturas de barro, como la del Escriba de Cuilapan, de carácter naturalista, y de manera muy especial las urnas y braseros antropomorfos (a veces profusamente ornamentados), todo ello sin olvidar la cerámica policromada.
El ex convento, aunque ya del siglo XVII, parece ser de una época anterior por sus soluciones arcaizantes, como se puede ver en los corredores del patio, de reminiscencias medievales, que son quizá lo más imponente de la antigua residencia de los frailes, además de que conservan casi íntegro su aspecto original. Notable es también la escalera que comunica los dos niveles del claustro.
El resto del edificio fue intervenido en la década de los años noventa siguiendo las ideas del mencionado arquitecto Leduc, dentro de lo que se pensó era el estilo colonial más adecuado para reponer las partes faltantes del edificio. No puede dejar de mencionarse, para concluir, el gran espacio abierto que antecede al conjunto –convento y templo– de Santo Domingo, y que hoy se conserva prácticamente vacío.
