Charlie Sheen Sound Bites

Charlie Sheen is all over the 'news' these days.  Either he's crazy, he's still wacked out on drugs, or he's just looking for attention.  If he's looking for attention, he's certainly gotten plenty of it.  Whether it's the kind of attention he wants or not, that's another question.  Only Charlie knows for sure.

It kind of reminds me of the 'gapers block' you see on the highway when there's a big wreck, or even if someone just gets pulled over.  We don't want to look, we just can't help ourselves.  And if we'd honestly admit it, we're just glad it isn't us.

Then again, this whole Charlie Sheen thing is kind of entertaining - in a weird, twisted kind of way.  Here's a whole list of Charlie Sheen Sound Bites, so you can listen to his craziness over and over again - or, as it was suggested, "When someone walks by just click on the appropiate bite. Make sure the volume is up."

There are some serious gems in here!   It's hard not to look listen.

Free Sounds

I was reading my dad's blog today, and he posted a link to a whip-poor-will call. He was talking about the difference between the whip-poor-will's call and the call of another bird, and it was very nice to be able to hear what he was talking about. While I was listening to the bird sound, I noticed that it was hosted on a site I hadn't seen before, so I had to check it out.

It's called soundboard, and there are all kinds of free sounds and sound effects - tens of thousands, they say. You can browse the site to find sounds you like, or that fit a particular blog post. Sound boards are organized by category, or you can search for the sound you need. You can download the sounds you want. Sign up for a free account and upload your own sounds, you get 125MB storage, or just add the sounds you like from other members' sound boards. You can even choose a specific sound and embed that into a blog post or website, like this:

soundboard.com
(I'm watching a Star Trek special on the History Channel, so I thought this was appropriate)

I suppose my dad could have done the same thing with his whip-poor-will call, but then I wouldn't have had to visit soundboard! I just signed up for my free account because I think this site is going to come in handy.
