TomTom Recalls Bob Weir Voice

Dutch navigation equipment maker TomTom NV(TOM2.AE) Friday said it is abandoning efforts to develop a Bob Weir voice for its GPS navigation systems. The Grateful Dead-themed voice package was scheduled for release in July, but failed important usability tests in late development, a company spokesman said.

“The recording with Bob went well, but the software had a difficult time parsing his phrases,” said Molly Vandergeld. “The simplest of directions were garbled and users were getting hopelessly lost.”

One tester, speaking on condition of anonymity, said “At first the directions were clear. Then it would bunch up all the words in a direction so I couldn’t understand it. After a while it started forgetting the words. It finally led me to a bus stop where I abandoned the car and got on the bus.”

TomTom had a success with its Star Wars-themed voice download series, and was hoping for similar sales with the Grateful Dead series. Vandergeld declined to comment on future plans for the series.

Buxter Hoot'n at Sullivan Hall

I receive lots of review CDs. There's a big stack on my desk as I type. Sometimes one really grabs my attention. Such is the the sophomore effort from Buxter Hoot'n, entitled In Another Life. Their engaging music lies in a region bordered by country, bluegrass & blues with a Jefferson Airplane feeling.

They'll be at Sullivan Hall in New York on Wednesday, September 22nd. Catch them if you can.

Well, that didn't go quite as planned

I woke up on Sunday morning with incredible pain. It turned out to be kidney stones, but not knowing what was going on I called 911 and went to the hospital in an ambulance. Sunday was, to say the least, not very pleasant, and I missed the Epic Pledge Drive Brunch Concert. I even missed Harry Minot coming in to answer phones.

Thanks to Cliff Furnald for hosting, Dave Schwartz and Don Duffy for tech support, and Rod Richardson for fundraising help. Here are links to the audio:

Sunday Brunch Concert: Parker's Tangent postponed

Due to heat conditions in the room and expected traffic from the parade in Bridgeport, the Parker's Tangent concert has been postponed. We will reschedule for later in the summer. We'll even try to find a location with air conditioning! My apologies to the band and their friends for this inconvenience, but you'll thank me later.

Today's concert will be a selection of recent performances from the jam band world.
