Here’s something new for my Automation obsession:
It’s like speed dial for everyday tasks. Launch Center Pro saves you time by launching complex actions with a single tap. For Recipe ideas see Launch Center’s…

First experiment with littleBits and Brute LFO
Blake’s 7: Cold Fury
I finally got to listen to this today. Ironically it was the day that the final episode in the series got released, so I’m glad I listened to it now rather than leaving it any longer.
It was a slightly confusing story, but good. Probably I’ll listen to the entire series all in one go later in the year hopefully, and I’m sure I’ll get a lot more out of it at that point.
Launch Center Pro 2.3 arrives
Wow, they’ve got a new @IFTTT channel and loads more besides. I think that this is probably a really big step forward for iOS automation, so I’m looking forward into digging into this in a bit more detail and finding out just what it’s capable of.
It’ll also be interesting to see what other people make using it.
Big Finish brings Survivors to my ears
I’ve been looking forward to hearing this since they announced it as I really like the story and I’m intrigued to know how Big Finish will deal with it. I’m sure it’ll be amazing, all 4 hours of it!

Nice to see Ototo here too
and this awesome piano
This is where I was on the last Saturday of this show at the Science Museum. It was good. Smaller than I expected, but a reasonable amount of stuff to see. Of course there were the usual things like 3D printing and that, but good to see some soft circuit stuff, and more experimental things too. I like that the science museum try this stuff out.

This was our first SoundLab workshop. We don’t have our new website up and running as yet, but it will be in a week or so hopefully. When it is it’ll explain all about SoundLab and what it is trying to achieve. For now, here are some great pictures of a little bit of experimentation.
Watching Godzilla
I had high hopes for this film, and they weren’t unfounded. I thought it was amazing. A really excellent film which took plenty of time to get going and tell its story. It didn’t decide to just be a block buster and use too many special effects, it was concerned with characters and the plot and allowing the story to unfold at its own pace. It was well worth going along with the ride.
I hope that they make another, in fact, I hope that they make loads more of them.
