A neat trick if you have a Mac OS X machine is to do this (make sure your speakers are turned on):

1. Open Terminal.app
2. Type in at the command line: say hello world

This will make your computer say “hello world” in the default voice (Victoria).

Here is a list of the other voices you can also use:

Female Voices

• $ say -v Agnes "hello world"
• $ say -v Kathy "hello world"
• $ say -v Princess "hello world"
• $ say -v Vicki "hello world"
• $ say -v Victoria "hello world"

Male Voices

• $ say -v Bruce "hello world"
• $ say -v Fred "hello world"
• $ say -v Junior "hello world"
• $ say -v Ralph "hello world"

Novelty Voices

• $ say -v Albert "hello world"
• $ say -v "Bad News" "hello world"
• $ say -v Bahh "hello world"
• $ say -v Bells "hello world"
• $ say -v Boing "hello world"
• $ say -v Bubbles "hello world"
• $ say -v Cellos "hello world"
• $ say -v Deranged "hello world"
• $ say -v "Good News" "hello world"
• $ say -v Hysterical "hello world"
• $ say -v "Pipe Organ" "hello world"
• $ say -v Trinoids "hello world"
• $ say -v Whisper "hello world"
• $ say -v Zarvox "hello world"

Have fun. You can now add voices to your monitoring applications, or freak people out if they don’t know about this cool trick.

Run, don’t walk, to the Dr. Horrible website and watch his micro-epic masterpiece of musical genius.

You know you love the musicals. Do it, do it now.

This will be gone after this weekend, and then you’ll be sorry you weren’t one of the cool kids who saw it when it first came out. Be part of the sensation.

That is all.

Update: It’s now available on Hulu to watch again (free). Hulu FTW!
