The Sphero is on the go

I’m really intrigued by the idea of physical objects interacting with the real world, which is why I decided to get a Sphero ball. It’s a very interesting device, and there are a few apps that work with it, including especially Shapesynth, which makes some amazing sounds.

So I’m just getting started now on this, and starting to think about how I can use Sphero in a variety of different settings.

DS-10 again

I’ve no idea why, but I have a real bug for doing something on the DS again. I really fancy getting back to it for some reason. Perhaps it’s because it has become quite distant and retro, I’m not sure, but I may well indulge myself for a while.

New Mixtikl interface

Software that I have enjoyed for quite a few years now in various guises and on various platforms. The latest version of the interface is big step forward, and the app, well, as far as making music goes it is amazing, there’s nothing more that can be said about it really.

Getting going with uLoops, or PocketBand …

This is another of those ‘I’ve been meaning to do this for ages …’ type projects. Although not really a project. uLoops, or PocketBand as it seems to be called now is one of a very few Android apps that will a) run on my machine, and b) seems to work.

For a long time I’ve meant to move beyond the basic free version of the app and get the full version, and as it was on sale over the weekend I decided that now was a great time to do just that.

So I hope to get playing with it soon and even make something worthwhile. Who knows, I might even try and get it running on the Android install on my 3G!
