Just kicked in $100 for Project Valour-IT<\/a> (Voice-Activated Laptops for OUR Injured Troops) and joined the Marines (gotta support the boots on the ground) lead by Villainous Company<\/a>. The project has raised an additional $7,000+ toward the overall goal of $180,000 since I first tuned in this morning. Sweet. <\/p>\n

This is a good use of technology. The voice recognition software is quite impressive and greatly improved over where it was just 4 years ago.<\/p>\n

Please note:<\/p>\n

Division among military teams is purely for the purpose of friendly competition. Any blogger may join any team and all money raised supports the wounded as needed, regardless of branch of service.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n
