Sometimes an idea comes along that just makes us all do a face-plant, and say: "Of course!...Perfect!"Kevin Leach -- the founding and creative force behind ipDTL -- and his development team, just launched what could be the convergence communication solution for voice-actors seeking...
That's right... the contingency that confounds some voice talents, frustrates others, and and only clients seem to want, is now a regular feature of ipDTL. "Phone Patch" is different things to different people. It's rooted in an older time, when ISDN was king. Some voice talent make it out to...
Ya live long enough, and you start to see evidence of the (mostly) subtle and unrelenting march of change. Within science and technology that march is double-time. And yet, some once-revolutionary/now-aged technologies are hard to upend. Why do we still have FAXes? Printed books? Gasoline...
My sites are set squarely on CES today. 'Almost embarrassing that a Vegas geek like me hasn't set foot on the exhibit floor until the third day! My planned stops include Blue Microphones, Shure, Microsoft, and about 50 other impromptu stops along the way. 🙂 Until I get back with pics of cool...

Yesterday's hour-and-a-half-long webinar on ISDN alternatives made me a believer...a believer that entrepreneurship is thriving... personal & passionate initiative is an unstoppable force... and innovation is alive and well in this world. VoiceOverXtra sponsored the webinar. Co-presenter Dan...
My ISDN lines were installed 5 years ago. I was giddy when my Telos XStream codec arrived. When I have a session, I'm grateful for the technology, but honestly...I'm starting to see ISDN as a ball 'n' chain. You know me...I like cutting edge. When I see something waning into oblivion...I want...
Free-market forces are having a heyday in anticipation of ISDN's eventual downfall. If you've spent any time at all on the pages of this blog, you know that I've been following this trail closely. There doesn't have to be just ONE successor to the throne of the twisted copper wires. There may be...
