Man, I really want to shred on a guitar or play some awesome bass, but I’m just too lazy and undisciplined to learn how to play.

Fortunately, there is an app for that. Thanks to VoiceBand, all I have to do is just go ba-ba-bah in some form into my iPhone, and I’ll have some serious sound that I could probably peddle on iTunes. Check out the video above if you want to hear more about what VoiceBand can do.

You should be able to get VoiceBand at the iTunes store for about $3.00.

Nuance Communications Inc. has recently unveiled a new voice to text or diction that is available for iPhone users.

All that is required of the user is to speak a message in the phone, and then hit send. I haven’t tried it for myself, but generally, applications like this don’t work as simple as companies would like you to think.

Still, if it makes Twitter and Facebook updates easier, I say, let it fly. In the meantime, you should be able to pick up the Dragon Diction for free, for now.

I’ve heard that if you want to begin a habit, then you need to make yourself accountable to someone else. So for those that want to pray more, read the bible, or something else spiritual should just have a friend ask about it daily. You will find that your friend might do a better job than you want them to.

I suppose you could apply this to a diet. In fact, you should use the Withings first WiFi-enabled bathroom scale. All you need to do is stand on it, and it records body weight, lean/fat mass, calculated body mass index (BMI), and then puts it online. There is even an app for the iPhone.
