Yeah, just general stuff. Basically this is where I’ll put everything that doesn’t go anywhere else. You always need that kind of category right.

Home (during WOMAD)

Posted by on in Stuff

I bought this tent as my last 2 man pop up tent had really gone beyond what I could expect from it, so this 3 man replaced it, and I have to say that I’ve been really pleased with it. It has loads of space and was just great during WOMAD. It’s slightly more complex to put away than the other pop up tents I’ve had, but even so it only took a few minutes to get it packed away.

Technology will save us is a great little tech company who make kits and things and do talks as well. I got this badge from an event I went to. They’re lovely and so passionate about what they do.

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?

3G gave up

I don’t know if you can see it but just overlapping the Apple logo is that spinning thing that tells you that it’s doing something, or in this case, doing something for about 2 days. My jailbroken 3G finally broke and I had to wipe it to get it to do anything serious at all. Will I go back to a jailbroken 3G? Maybe, I’m not sure as yet quite what I want to do with the thing.

The Zoetrope

Posted by on in Stuff

It is a brilliant idea for an app, as indeed is the zoetrope a brilliant idea in itself. Having a virtual one on a device is great as I never get out the one I have at home.

I love this app, and even though I have no real need to keep it whatsoever I will continue to.

This is not really very good at all

Posted by on in Stuff

As I was getting hold of PDAs at the weekend I remembered that I had this Stylophone Beatbox. So I put some batteries in it and got it working again.

I shouldn’t have bothered. It really wasn’t worth it at all. The sounds are awful and it’s really hard to get it to do anything very musical.

I think it’s something I need to bend
