			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>International hip hop and reality TV superstar, Flavor Flav, brings his very own blend of vocal stylings to the dashboards of drivers across the globe with his downloadable GPS voice available now, exclusively from <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=7143X661790&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2FNavTones.com&sref=rss" target="_blank">NavTones.com</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thetechscoop.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/tomgarminmodels.png"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-19755" title="tomgarminmodels" src="http://www.thetechscoop.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/tomgarminmodels.png" alt="" width="184" height="220" /></a>Compatible with most Garmin and TomTom portable navigation devices, Flav&#8217;s GPS voice features turn-by-turn driving directions and hilarious audio commentary to keep drivers and passengers entertained all the way from A to B and at all points in between.</p>
<p>Old school Hip-Hop fans undoubtedly know Flavor Flav as one of the co-founders of Public Enemy. Flav is known for his over the top personality, big ol&#8217; clocks and his &#8216;Yeah Boyee&#8217; catchphrase.</p>
<p>To get some Flav love on your GPS device, head over to <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=7143X661790&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2FNavTones.com&sref=rss" target="_blank">NavTones.com</a>.  Create an account, if you don&#8217;t already have one. Then simply download the voice(s) of choice.</p>
<p>There are no monthly fees, no programs to install, and all NavTones celebrity GPS voices are available to anyone with an internet connection and compatible GPS system, anywhere in the world.</p>
<p>The release of Flav&#8217;s GPS voice is supported by several animated videos currently circulating the internet and featuring Flavor Flav offering his &#8220;Top Ten  Driving Tips&#8221; to motorists being followed by the authorities.  Created by the award-winning team of animators at Special Agent Productions, these animated videos offer huge laughs in visually stunning and easy-to-share thirty second segments.<br />

<blockquote><p>&#8220;Along with possessing an instantly recognizable voice and larger than life personality, Flavor Flav is a founding father of hip hop and urban pioneer.  So he&#8217;s a natural fit for our NavTones brand of GPS voices, and we&#8217;re stoked to be able to put Flav out there to millions of drivers around the world,&#8221; says Will Andre, CEO of Wanderlust Media, LLC.  Believe the hype.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A professional colleague of mine has just announced some news within the Garmin Corporation. As with many businesses, they are consolidating efforts and downsizing their physical office locations. Unfortunately, for those in the San Francisco, California offices, this is not good news, as many of the jobs are consolidatiing to the headquarters in Olathe, Kansas.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d like to provide my assistance by helping spread the word that there are about 14 top quality individuals with skills ranging from product management, coordination, and software engineering.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re a Garmin GPS owner/user, you&#8217;ll undoubtedly know the output of this team &#8211; they created the GarminConnect community and infrastructure (a true SaaS: software as a service that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional).</p>
<p>The team has put together a website explaining their current situation. They have links to their individual Twitter accounts and, very smartly, their LinkedIN accounts.</p>
<p>Check out the site [<a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=7143X661790&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fthegcteam.com%2F&sref=rss" target="_blank">here</a>] and pass the word if you can.</p>
