Zoort used to just be my wacky alien character for some time, but now he serves as the mascot for my text to speech synthesizer.

Annie Rauwerda, creator of Depths of #Wikipedia, lives for the internet’s weirdest footnotes.

Case in point: the long-gone Garfield the cat “G-Mail,” a defunct web curiosity now surviving only on the #WaybackMachine. 🙀📬

The Zoloft dot, a white shape with dot eyes, eyebrows and a mouth that looks like an oval drawn imperfectly using a black marker, seen here with a gentle smile

Comic ad portraying a fictional testimonial and her journey using the Zoloft dots. "Zoloft has helped millions with depression. This is Molly's story. Molly N. Age 28. Cincinnati, OH." "It was spring. I was in love, I should have been happy, but I was feeling depressed. My boyfriend noticed my down mood. I told him that it wasn't his fault. It was my deal. I finally looked for help and discovered Zoloft. A friend told me that it is the number one prescribed brand for depression and anxiety. It's helped millions of people like me. I had a long conversation about depression with my doctor. We decided that Zoloft was right for me. We talk a lot about my progress since I started Zoloft. He says he can see a change in me. My boyfriend has noticed too. When two people are lucky enough to be in love, why let depression get in the way?" "Story not based on actual person." "Molly knew she had to do something about her depression. After learning about ZOLOFT, she asked her doctor about it. She took comfort in the fact that ZOLOFT is safe and effective. It has treated more people with more types of depression and anxiety than any brand of its kind. ZOLOFT. #1 for millions of reasons."

MTV animator Patrick Smith redefined antidepressant advertising by creating the Zoloft dot, nicknamed the Sad Blob. The ads were lauded for their tender portrayal of depression and anxiety disorders, but concerned psychologists over pushing pharmaceuticals as the one true cure.

Zoort's Zap-Yapper! by SYLO Text-to-speech synthesizer

seeyoulateroscillator.itch.io/zoorts-zap-y...
The full version of the Zap-Yapper is complete. I designed my own text-to-speech synthesizer from scratch. Check it out!

I'll get around to fixing these bugs as soon as I publish the full version. Expect it to be finished sometime near the end of next month.

notable bugs: The text interpreter can't handle numbers within words (1st, l8r). You'll have to manually put a space in between.

The vibrato at certain settings can clip the signal to extreme values which could be dangerous if you're using headphones, so you might have to turn your volume down.

Inaugural logo for Ask Jeeves, featuring an illustration of a polite, archetypical British butler sporting a balding head and a dark grey suit with a red tie

Jeeves' designs over the years leading up to his 2009 CG redesign, gradually slimming him down, switching the stripes on his suit down to his trousers and using varying shades of black or grey

Before chatbots were emitting CO2 to give you answers, Jeeves - named after P. G. Wodehouse's fictional valet - attracted users to the all-purpose, reliable answer engine Ask Jeeves, later known as Ask. He enjoyed a second life in the UK from 2009, redesigning him in 3D.

Kyle wolf @CRXSSF4DE . someone on the Motorola forums was having the same problem with the camera I've been having, but I just have to share the image they posted to demonstrate the issue. it's the funniest shit I've ever seen in my life dude The photo is of an elderly woman in gray clothes that has been so bizarrely processed that it looks both totally over and desaturated

This is the aesthetic of the future
