It all started when my colleague Joe Z. twittered:
NETC filler session idea: hear me read my tweets, in order, from day one on Twitter. Feel free to steal this.
Which of course, had to be done:
curl -s twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/711063.xml | sed -ne ‘/<text/s/</*text>//gp’ | say -o twitter.aiff
And a quick run through Audacity (because I don’t have a command line lame install) yields an mp3 — thanks to ‘Alex’ the Macintosh voice — though James Earl Jones would have been much better.
