Today I'm going to make a post about Siri tips and tricks. As you know I've previously made a post about Siri but today I'm going to have a continuation which includes some funny things (like the previous) as well as some new tips that may make it more useful to use Siri.

Tip 1#: Is Siri saying your name really funny? tell Siri "learn how to say my name" and she can do just that.

Say your name upon prompt, then she will have a few pronunciations; listen to all of them, and, when have found the one you're happy with press select. Or if none of them sound right, tap "tell Siri again"

It will do this for both your first and last name.

Tip #2 edit what you say

This one is interesting. Although Siri is 85% of the time accurate, she can't always quite catch what you say. Like this, for example...

If something like this happens, simply tap on the words Siri thought you said, and edit it accordingly:

Then hit done.

Gimmick #1 "how old are you, Siri?"

This joke has several possible outcomes, but I thought this one was especially funny.

Gimmick #2 "read me a story"

This is the most text I have ever seen Siri say. Oh, and you have to be patient with this trick. it may take you several several times to get her to read you a story. Just say "read me a story" over and over until she tells you, well, a story.

Gimmick #3 "sing a song"

This one is like the story gimmick. Say "sing a song" over and over until Siri finally gives in.

Please look forward to my next post!

Movie Monday: the Lego Movie!

Hello, everyone!

today since it is Monday (which, for this blog, is Movie Monday) I am going to review the movie...

The Lego Movie, by Warner Bros.
Released: 2014
Genre: Comedy, Adventure
Family Safe?: yes, definitely
Stars: 5 (great Movie!)
is it a movie based off of a book?: no

overall description: it is a really great movie, with a interesting story, and it is littered with jokes and comedy.

story line: here it is, taken from wikipedia: "The wizard Vitruvius attempts to protect a superweapon called the "Kragle" from the evil Lord Business. He fails to do so, but prophesies that a person called "the Special" will find the Piece of Resistance capable of stopping the Kragle.

Eight and a half years later, an ordinary construction worker named Emmet Brickowski from Bricksburg comes across a woman named Wyldstyle who searches for something after hours at Emmet's construction site. When he investigates, Emmet falls into a hole and finds the Piece of Resistance. Compelled to touch it, Emmet experiences vivid visions and passes out. He awakens with the Piece of Resistance attached to his back in the custody of Bad Cop, Business' lieutenant. There, Emmet learns of Business' plans to freeze the world with the Kragle, revealed to be a tube of Krazy Glue with the label partially rubbed out."

to see the rest, watch The Lego Movie!

Please look forward to my next post!

Hilarious Google doodle!

Hello, everyone!

today I am going to share this hilarious Google doodle!

How to get there:

IF it is currently 6/23/14 (this is going to look silly in a few years,) then go to the Google search engine.

if it is past 6/23/14 (or past however long Google keeps it up) then go here and search "World Cup 2014 #27"

this hilarious doodle shows a bunch of workers watching the world cup (above) but suddenly switches it to work diagrams as their boss walks by!

be sure to check it out!
