What's Weingarten Writing?

It’s a tale as old as time: Old people versus technology. Today’s victim is none other than WaPo’s Pulitzer-Prize winner, Gene Weingarten. This seasoned citizen is having a hard time with Google, particularly Google Voice, which takes voicemails, transcribes them and sends to recipients as text. Gene decides to put this technology to the test with his editor, “Tom the Butcher.” In his piece, Weingarten leaves a series of voicemails for Tom to see what Google translates.

While creative, it’s worth noting that this is not a new schtick for Weingarten.
