App? What App?


You've all heard the phrase "There's an app for that!"  In my experience with my trusty iPhone, I've pretty much come to agree.  I've got all manner of goodies on my phone. For me, the best part is I get to voucher their expense as part of "research" in my role as technical advisor for the Societé.

Recently, at a back yard party my Sainted wife threw, a guest heard a nearby bird singing and wondered aloud what kind it was. Full of faith in my nifty phone, I said that there was no doubt an app for that - you know, have the app listen to said bird and tell you what it was.

Well, guess what? There ISN'T an app for that! There are plenty of birdsong apps, but they require you to find the song that matches the bird you're listening to, NOT the other way around.

I'm verklempt.  And I still can't identify that damned bird.
