Hey Top Hat,

I'll help with the smart.fm project. I had already been learning the  
gismu that are in there so far. Should there be pictures of the gismu  
as well? I agree with you about the recordings of the words; gotta  
get the pronunciation right!

I'm doing this on my iphone. What do you need me to do and how do I  
do it?

-Steve
