Maybe I’ve missed my calling…

Posted on August 30th, 2005 by Sacha Chua

“You could have sold me _anything,_” said the Toastmaster who
evaluated my speech about a personal board of directors.

Hmm. ;)

I got the Olympus WS-100 digital voice recorder upon the
recommendation of several speakers. I used it to record my third
Toastmaster speech, and let me tell you—hearing your own voice trip
over words and dilute itself with countless “And”s and “you
knows”… that’s really something.

I need to re-record my speech before I can put it online. I think I’ll
do that tomorrow night, in the piano room.
