Prepare to go deep into this episode where we talk about productivity and how Tee has managed to improve his with a new tool.
00:00 — Introduction
- No one likes the Mirror Universe, especially K T Bryski
- Sebastian stops the bell. And makes his presence known throughout the episode.
BUT LOOK AT DIS FAES! HOW KAN U RESIST DAT FAES?!??!
- Tee’s commute was a word killer
- Pip blames Destiny….just a little bit.
- Piper J Drake makes an appearance…from the æther!
04:39 — Productivity with a Dragon
- Piper suggested Dragon Anywhere the mobile version of Dragon Naturally Speaking
- Tee is intrigued and gives it a shot
- Syncs with Dropbox and Evernote
- In Tee’s commute of about an hour one way, got 1500 words.
- Pip reckons 3,000 per day is a nice pace
- Tee reads how it came out, the first time… a little word soupy. Play the game while editing ‘what does that sound like?’
- The app does learn and so does the person
- Pip worries if there is a tangent coming…
- There is. Battlestar Galactica dictation.
- Still dictation is better than typing on your laptop in traffic.
- The dragon stops listening if the phone goes to sleep, or if it doesn’t hear anything after 15-30 seconds
- Tee didn’t read the instructions. Surprise!
- Sebastian tries to send Pip to sleep
- Night’s Plutonian Shore gets a mention
- Sebastian continues to interrupt from the Desk
- Just tell the Dragon to sync
- Tee is much happier thanks to this Dragon, but his podcast listening will take a hit
- Reading aloud really helps you spot the problems in your work
29:01 — The Loot Crate Lookie-Loo!
- Tee gets to open the box the theme is not magic… its mythical
- Sebastian deliberately messes with the soundboard.
- Nice 80s neon Ghostbusters tee!
- We divert to Stranger Things…
- Thor is coming!!!
- Tee gives Pip all the building to do… but it works out better
- Pip promises not to watch Stranger Things 2 without Tee. Will she keep it?
- Mr Pointy is a bookmark!
35:41 — The Wrap-Up

- 2017 is nearly done
