It is just amazing how useful this stuff is and what you can use it for. I think everyone should buy some.

A few things I’m looking forward to (musically that is)

Posted by on in Stuff

These three have been on my mind so I thought I’d write them down …

  1. An album from Doc Pop which should land at the beginning of February. I’ve seen a video from it which I loved so I’m really looking forward to the whole album, especially as it was due late in 2013.
  2. Imogen Heap’s new album which is due soon I think. I haven’t liked everything she’s done but she’s always interesting and I like her lyrics a lot.
  3. Blancmange. Lots of things really. An album of remixes I think, some new material and another tour which I’ll do my best to be at.

Sure, there’s other things, but these three have been on my mind today so I thought I’d share them.

Thinking about starting Audioboo again

Posted by on in Stuff

I’ve been wondering about starting up Audioboo again. It was always handy for quick thoughts about stuff, and very easy to use without getting caught up in complicated podcasting stuff.

So, perhaps sometime soon(-ish) I might start rambling on about stuff. That is, rambling about stuff even more than I do now anyway.

Some things I’d like to see happen, some time soon …

Here’s my little app wishlist so far …

  1. I’d like to see the IFTTT (iTunes link) app go universal and work properly on the iPad as it just doesn’t cut it running it in 2x mode.
  2. I’d also like to see IFTTT come to Android as well, as I think it’d be an interesting way to cross platforms and automate from iOS to Android and into the real world etc.
  3. I can’t wait for the next version of the Editorial app for iPad. I mentioned this only a few days ago as an app that I’m already very impressed with. I’m looking forward to seeing the workflow directory directly in the app itself, that’s going to be so useful.
  4. Whilst on the subject of the Editoral app, I’d like to see it go universal and come to the iPhone as I think it would be amazingly useful.
  5. Continuing with apps, one of the best email apps for iOS (iPhone, not universal) is Dispatch (iTunes link) in my opinion, and I’d love to see it go universal as I think it would work brilliantly on the iPad, especially the iPad mini.
  6. Finally, I’d like to see Zapier bring their service to iOS as well. Even though it’s more business focused than IFTTT I think it would be useful.

So that’s my little list for now. I wonder what I’ll get from that list?
