Centerville PD Reverse 911 Call

Yesterday afternoon Centerville's Police Department (@CPDUTAH) used what is sometimes called Reverse 911 (since it is the police calling citizens rather than the reverse) to update the community about fire regulations that are going into effect in Centerville.  I've included the MP3 and the Google Voice transcript of that message for your entertainment and enlightenment.

Good Evening. Yeah, this message is from several City, Emergency Management, earlier today.

Power Listener

I love seeing metrics about my day-to-day life.  One of the best sources of personal data is my Zune.  I listen to a lot of music these days on devices other than my Zune, but it's still a major source of music discovery and play back, and considering I now have about four years of data to aggregate, I can find some pretty reliable insights as to what my favorite artists are.  See, if you ask me my all-time favorite artists, I might be influenced by what I'm in the mood for recently or what I think you might want to hear.  But this list is the core of what I listen to when I want the good stuff - and I'm quite happy with the results.
