This is pretty cool…this guy has autism and has created an imaginary city in extreme detail over many years. It’s amazing what we’re capable of… It seems obvious that there’s alot of capabilities locked in our brains that every once in a while gets unlocked by some so-called “defect.”

You’re call is being answered by Audix…

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006

Have you ever called someone at work and gotten their voicemail and right before they transfer your call, you hear… “Your call is being answered by Audix” ?

Well I googled Audix and found this article that sheds a little light on what Audix is. The most interesting part is the article gives the name of the woman whose voice is on all those voice mail systems…Lorraine Nelson. She has made a little business out of her “voicemail voice.”

I still wonder why you would want to have your voicemail system say your call is being handled by Audix…maybe Audix should pay for that like a banner ad. $0.01 per impression maybe?

I don’t know why I care, but a place called FatBurger has some sort of power that I can’t refuse. I shall go when it opens…
