Today, the strangest thing happened to me. I was using a tablet to play a video game when Lil Zen texted me. When I answer her, I always speak to Siri and he types what I say usually. The times he types something else can be pretty funny, or frustrating. In Oahu, when ever I asked him anything about Oahu, he gave me info about Wahoo, Nebraska. Not quite the same thing I think although I am sure Wahoo is lovely. I can tell you where the BOA atms are in Wahoo and that there are no BOA atms on Oahu. But I digress.
So at one point, I tell Lil Zen that I will be here when Gina (my sister) comes to get me tomorrow for lunch. Suddenly, the tablet lights up with a google search result for "I will be here when Jesus comes". Apparently, there is a gospel song called "I'll be here when Jesus Comes". The pop up freaked me right out!
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group gives Kossacks a safe place to check in, a daily diary where we can let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, earthquakes, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It also allows us to find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, earthquakes etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a Kosmail and ask to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!
We do have a diary schedule. But, when you are ready to write that diary, either post in thread or send FloridaSNMOM a Kosmail with the date. If you need someone to fill in, ditto. FloridaSNMOM is here on and off through the day usually from around 9:30 or 10 am eastern to around 11 pm eastern.

First off, creepy quote for a big time non-believer like myself. Some people are color blind, I am god blind. Its nothing personal, I just don't get messages from God. But then there is this occasion. Come on in for the second thing about this.
Second, who knew I could speak to google on this tablet? AT&T gave it to Mr. Zen a few months ago when he bought an Iphone6. All I have done with it is play Tetris on it. How did the microphone get turned on? How would I do it on purpose? Is it listening and sending info to the NSA? Is the NSA bored out of its sox, listening to such drivel? I would think it would be like the priest assigned to hear confession at the elementary school level. So many petty sins.
And what did google find for me on this topic? Some harrowing videos, a couple of gospel songs, and some end of time predictions. Not much enlightenment but then it is just a google search and not really the voice of God. Ok, moving on now.
What little jolts and giggles does technology give you? Auto-correct is really a riot sometimes, if nothing else.
