You may not know of him, you may not recognize him if he walked past you on the street; but you will definitely recognize his voice. His million-dollar, deep, rich, clutter-breaking voice. Known better as the Movie Premier Guy, Don LaFontaine has done trailer voiceovers for more than 4000 movies and innumerable adverts and movie beginnings. Watch this video to know more about this legend.

Came across the man with the golden voice when I was browsing standup videos on Youtube and saw a comedian (Pablo Francisco) do a spoof of this legendary voice-over artist.

So the next time you hear the familiar “In the city, one man, one mission…”, you know whose voice it is :)

TauFu (n.): The act of talking to one’s computer / pleading with it / re-opening a software at a later time / hitting the keys harder, as if that is going to change the outcome of the executed command. (And with something as unpredictable as Windows, it works). Also known as Reboot Voodoo.

Nice, simple lyrics for a change. Enjoy.

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten…

‘Unwritten’ by Natasha Bedingfield. Read the rest of the song here.

A pretty neat tool, for a very relevant consumer need. Caught my eye, am using it now, and am already blogging about it.

I receive on an average 25 emails a day (on a normal day) that goes up to 50 or more; Make that 600 emails a month, and important data, files are bound to get lost in the chaos. I had a tough time finding mails and files I needed (I still do), but now there’s at least a little help.

Xobni. Nice plugin to Outlook. Organizes mail, searches in a jiffy, lists all the files I have shared with my contacts, makes conversations out of my mails. See the demo video below to understand more.
