domo arigato mr. roboto

I listen to npr almost everyday. yes, it's a tad on the boring side, but it's also quite informative. you know the announcer who invites you to visit the NPR shop and thanks the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation each and every day? the one with the robotic voice? yeah, that guy. for the past few months I've been wondering who he actually is and if he is even real. well, he is.

meet Frank Tavares, the funder guy! click on the red "listen" button on the NPR page to hear Tavares recite Guns n' Roses lyrics and scenes from Casablanca in his signature sonant stylings. he is my new hero. I want to talk just like him.
