Note Nature Network sticker on my keyboard. I'm such a geek.

Cath@VWXYNot? said...: It's a digital voice recorder. You can tell because it says "digital voice recorder" on the box ;)

(sorry, couldn't resist... 5.35 is very early to be posting! What time zone are you in? It is actually 7.28am here right now); September 23, 2008 at 9:28 AM
maddox22 said...: Yeah, I did see that (although to be fair, it is in itty-bitty type way at the bottom). Perhaps I should have been clearer: What exactly is it for (other than recording your voice digitally)? (I guess I'm curious about the post title. How will a DVR help you with a new career?

(I'm in Pittsburgh--Eastern time. Just an early riser.); September 24, 2008 at 5:07 AM
Cath@VWXYNot? said...: To add more detail to the original vague hint: it's the kind of thing a journalist (and people who like to pretend to be journalists) might use to record an interview.; September 24, 2008 at 9:47 AM
The bean-mom said...: Ah ha! I thought so! Cath is launching her new career as a science journalist!

(let me know how the voice recorder works out. I may be seeking advice from you about it in the future...); September 24, 2008 at 12:40 PM
Cath@VWXYNot? said...: I might not go as far as "launching"...; September 24, 2008 at 1:44 PM
