I just upgraded to a Spotify premium account – primarily so I can have offline syncronised playlists across multiple devices. Of course, I could do this with iTunes but it’s not the same, with spotify for your monthly fee you can pretty much go exploring music – just jumping from track to track and artist [...]

Foursquare
Foursquare is a bit like Gowalla was. it basically allows you to check in at different places as you visit them, and you get points if you visit them several times. The interesting spin though is that in some places you can get free things for checking in – for example theres a macdonalds near [...]

Mass Effiect 3
I am playing Mass Effect 3, and its a pretty cool game – i am looking forward to seeing the contraversial ending – if its annoyed so many people its probably fairly good. Like the previous mass effect games its very immersive and charactor driven – and decisions you made in the previous games effect [...]

Hotmail on the iPad/iPhone
When you add your hotmail to your iPhone most people add it as a pop3 account – which is type other when you choose it. This is because when you type a hotmail address in there it figures out all the server information for you – its almost as if its designed to work that [...]

Star Wars – behind the scenes

Mass Effect III
The Mass Effect games are really awesome character driven games – I played 1 and 2 to completion and in a few months time they are releasing 3…I loved the story lines and the immersive characters in the first games, not forgetting they look pretty. This is the trailer – enjoy!

Talented People.
The world is full of talented people – its sometimes easy to forget – I think I am going to try and post once a week on little known talented people I come across, because some people in life just don’t get the credit they deserve. The first is Zac Cranko – a name I [...]

BBC iPlayer
I really like many of the series that are available on the iPlayer, but really annoyingly sometimes things are incomplete – Judge John Deed only has 4 episodes, Redcap only has one episode. I know of course this is to do with specific regions, I am in Sweden and what you see in the uk [...]

The Death Of Zombie Cafe
Today I am uninstalling zombie cafe on the iPad – for a little while there it was a fairly fun game but now its just got a bit boring. The aim of the game is to built a cafe with the best equipment, to run through the 30 odd levels and occasionally raid your friends [...]
