I haven’t brought myself to watch this as yet, but I will

I didn’t know anything about this film until it got suggested on Amazon. It’s a spin off obviously, but I’d never heard of it before. I don’t have high hopes that it’s some kind of forgotten classic, but I will watch it at some point and see what it’s like. Although I am a bit nervous about watching it.

Getting the bend (sensor)

I got this recently but haven’t had a chance to use it as yet. I’d really like to though, and I’m sure that the time will make itself available soon enough.

I’m keen to expand my littleBits collection. I’m sure that there’s lots more I could do with it that I’m not, and that I haven’t even thought of as yet.

Not long until the Music Education Expo awards

In some ways I still can’t quite believe that we were nominated at all, although of course it’s great to be nominated for anything. In case this isn’t making any sense at all, SoundLab has been nominated in the SEND resource category. I’ve very glad to say I’m going to be there, both at the expo and also at the awards too. I haven’t been to an awards do in ages, so it’s bound to be fun.

Getting the mCookie up and running

One of those tech things that can annoy you by just not doing what you want it to. But, at last I’ve got the basics up and running. It’s a nice kit though, with a lot of possibilities, and that’s what I’m really looking forward to now.

Especially what I might be able to do with the OLED screen, and also the speakers too.

The audio components look good too, and the audio stuff is going to be my focus, although bluetooth could be useful as well.

When I got this kit (quite a while ago now), I got the full range of sensors too.

So now I really need to get into reading this and then move forward.
