Text-to-Voice translator

Automated text2speech translation to be featured in Marc's etude tonight! Here are some links to different sites that allow you to hear text spoken. They each have multiple options for the speaker.  We can layer on some effects as well to create crazy pan-Latino robots reading Proust in space.

Costumes?

Exciting talk with Kyoko about costumes today. Here's some images from the world at large.
Like the underlayers alot and the hazmat yellow down below (minus helmets and gloves) is hot. The model runway shot is "a big f&*&ing deal" too.
