An Un-Paid Advertisement, of sorts

So a friend of mine made an app for cellphones. It's on the itunes store and the Google play store (there's a free version if you don't mind ads). Now my friend isn't the most technically minded when it comes to programs. Machines, watch out, guy's amazing. But he had this idea for a cellphone app to use on all of those people who just annoy the hell out of him (this is the guy I go gold mining with, his knowledge of geology is seriously impressive).

So, the app is called 'Blah-Over'. You record a bunch of things like 'Blah' or 'I don't care' or 'Un-huh' or whatever even ruder phrase you want on it. Then when someone is going on and on at you, you call the app up on your phone and just hold it up. It responds to what they're saying (voice activated) with whatever you've put in it (he put some pretty rude ones in his of course, cause that's just the kind of guy he is).

Anyways, I think it's pretty funny, and while he made it mostly for himself to use on annoying people, I figured I'd plug it here. It's the kind of thing I can see one of my characters using to piss someone off and end up starting a war. (Honestly, I've really been thinking of using it in a story, ala Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy and one of Arther Dent's many accidents).

So yes, free plug: Blah-Over
