LONGWALKABOUT

The meanderings of a restless soul. (it's a lot less serious than it sounds)

If Siri was a Nine Year Old Boy (and some links)

My father in law just got his first iPad.  The new ones come with Siri and all the bells and whistles.  The next day, after having a conversation with our oldest child, my wife looked at me and said, “What if Siri answered your questions like a nine year old?”   That was a great question.  It would be something like this.

Me:   Siri, what is today’s date?

Siri:  I want to play Minecraft later, because Nate told me how to open a portal to the Nether.

Me:  That’s great Siri, what restaurants are nearby?

Siri:  In Minecraft, you can spawn a cow, and then kill it and eat it.

Me:   Siri, can you give me directions to the Golden Panda chinese restaurant?

Siri:  Can I do chores, and then you could pay me in gold?  Then we could go to Toys R Us and buy one of the new Minecraft Lego sets.

Me:   Siri.

Silence

Me:   Siri.

Silence

Me:   Siri.

Siri:  Sorry, I was just looking at that squirrel over there.

Me:   Siri, why did I get an email from your teacher today?

Siri:  I have no idea.

  • Happy Friday the 13th.  Here are the origins of all the superstition.
  • The website for the Friday the 13th movie series is unintentionally hilarious because it uses words like, SAGA, and, LEGACY.  I’ve only seen several of these, but the one that stands out is part III.  It is really funny, and it includes the most inexplicably racially diverse biker gang that you will ever find in the middle of nowhere.
  • Here are some examples of really bad Valentine gifts.
  • Bulgarian Communist Party Headquarters is one of the coolest and creepiest abandoned places that you will see.

Opening Salvo

Okay, so now I have a blog.  I would like to welcome the three of you who are reading  this on purpose, and the one person who ended up here accidentally. Henry David Thoreau said that “the masses of men lead lives of quiet desperation.”  Thoreau was one of my heroes.  The guy spent a […]
