Romo returns!

Posted by on in Robotics, Tech

It has been just over a week since I sent my Romo off to Germany to have his main board’s firmware updated to work with an EU smartphone. He’s back, and he works just fine now. In fact, he seems to be as good as new.

After all this time it’s great to be playing around with my Romo and enjoying such a clever idea. Now I want more from my Romo apps already!

Thinking about what to do with Sugru

Posted by on in Making things, Stuff, Tech

I’d heard of this stuff before, but I’d never used it. I got this sample from the lovely people at Technology Will Save Us when I went to their talk the other day. The sugru web site has some really good examples of how people have used the stuff.

So the only question remaining is, what should I use it for?

Music Tech Fest

Posted by on in Events

Having been at music tech fest at the weekend I’ve been thinking a lot about mobile music again, and about Palm Sounds again too. There was so much talk about the mobile space it was unreal, and a growing amount talked about in terms of mobile music creation, to a degree anyway.

It revives a number of thoughts and themes that have been going through my head for a while now, and I’m wondering what to do about these ideas.

The Squid still works on the Lion

Posted by on in Tech

I tried the old Synchopoolp app on my OSX Lion Mac but I didn’t really have any hope that it would run. I was wrong. It worked just fine. It synced a bhajis file from my T3 and it rendered out all of the tracks as separate .wav files too. No problem. Amazing to find that this software still works after all this time.

That really is a great bit of software. What else would you expect though?
