Widgets
November 1st, 2006 | Published in Blog Thoughts
The MAC has a series of powerful utilities known as widgets. At the click of a button I can know the weather, track a flight, and revise some quantum physics theory stuff. But the best widget I’ve discovered so far is the English to Pirate translator!
Here are a couple of examples:
ENGLISH TEXT: Day five of the battle of the kidney stone and still no progress. Five days drinking nothing but water sure leaves a man thirsty for some rum. Purely for medicinal purposes of course!
PIRATE TEXT: Day five o’ th’ battle o’ th’ kidney stone ‘n still no progress. Five days drinkin’ naught but water sure leaves a scallywag thirsty fer some rum. Purely fer medicinal purposes o’ course!
If you have something (appropriate) you’d like to run through the pirate translator send it my way and I’ll post it. Until then . . . Keep yer feet on th’ ground ‘n keep reachin’ fer th’ stars.
