Inhaler by Miles Kane + Easy Guitar Tab!


With over 99% of people on YouTube liking this video and the song gaining outstanding reviews and comments such as 'awesome' , 'awesome tune', 'awesome beat' , 'awesome song', 'awesome guitar' I couldn't help but feature this on my site because of it's awesomeness. 

The song features a memorable and rock-y riff at the immediate start of the song as well as keeping the energy of the song higher than a sugar rush after raiding Wonka's Chocolate Factory.
 

Also, I have included the intro guitar tab below - so if you have access to a guitar get playing now! It's fairly simple and once you get it up to the right speed it's awesome.

If you are unfamiliar with guitar tab each line across represents the strings 
(E,A,D,G,B,E). The bottom line on the tab is the 6th sting (the string 
closest to you) and the top line is the string furthest from you with the
 higher pitch. The numbers represent the fret to play.

Retro Bluetooth Phone


When past met present, 
they made the Retro Bluetooth Phone.

Sometimes we forget about those things we used to use but sometimes they are so awesome they keep returning, like the the mokia retro bluetooth phone.
By combining old and new the old-style phone accessory uses bluetooth so that you can recieve phone calls. It should work with most phones with bluetooth enabled including the iPhone.

This vintage handset will be sure to bring back memories as well as feel like a new toy; some of the product features include Bluteooth 2.0, up to a 10m connection range and talktime for up to 6 hours (once fully charged with the mini USB). It can be used not just for regular phone calls but skype calls and other internet phone calls whilst looking super slick and great on your desk. I bet you want it now, don't you?
It can be purchased from many online stores such as-

Awesome Audition - Fighting Gravity, America's Got Talent

An awesome dance group who experiment with new ways of awesomeness

 The blacklight dance group that auditioned on America's Got Talent caught my eye. The creative dance and talent was just incredible (there are people dressed in black so that you cant see them and they effectively lift up and move objects including the people that you can see). By performing in the dark Fighting gravity can defy physics. It is awesome stuff with some great performances - especially the skateboarding performance. 

 They reached the America's Got Talent finals 2010 and came 3rd overall. The other acts in the top 4 were all singers, and the winner was Michael Grimm. You can catch them on the TV this month on ITV 2 when America's Got Talent is on.

Disguises 
Chocolate iPhone Case - £4.99 Amazon
Pro's - Great design, great disguise.

Artpad App Example - Tree's

Made using the artpad app by me. See the artpad app review here

Today's Featured iPhone App - ArtPad

Image Source
"One of the most creative apps on the AppStore"
  Artpad is a simple and creative app that lets you create your own artwork using the library of stock shapes,backgrounds and other features.

It is so easy to create a cool piece of art by using the simple range of tools that adjust colour tint, brightness, transparency etc. and add text or characters to it.

 There are lots of pre downloaded objects under categories such as character design, shapes, spike world, backgrounds/patterns and grunge. You can get some free art supplies and there will be more added in future updates as said on the AppStore.

 There are a few examples below and I will post some occasionally. I uploaded them by the simple send to email button, but you could also easily upload to twitter,facebook and save it to your iDevice after you save the artpad.

The app costs 59p
I rate it a very good 9/10

Awesome creative design - Knife and Fork pen lids

Image Source
             GENIUS!
This is pure creative genius. A pen lid that means you can turn your pen into a knife and fork.

They are called 'din-ink' pen lids and I believe that they are available to buy but I am not sure as it says on Amazon 'currently unavailable'. I would buy them because they are insanely cool and i'm sure if you work in an office you would want to buy them aswell.







The designers are from a group based in Italy called ZO-loft and won a competition for 'Dining in 2015'. Check it out for more ways to dine in style. :P

Blog Update Progress ...

Blog Update!!!
The Mobile Version of this website should be running :) !!!!!
(I did this by using Blogger Draft and have only tested using iTouch/iPhone, please comment if it works on your mobile device.)


Other Stuff
As you may know this blog is undergoing a large update changing this blog from a demo blog to a full running bigger and better blog.

So far there has been a few drafted articles, an organised schedule for posts throughout the week, a few blog name ideas and a long list of apps that I will review. However the main updates I have been working on have been the layout. I found a few featured post sliders and cool social networking + general blog gadgets for the blog. As well as this I looked into some good blog designs and I am planning to create my own soon.

Earth Day & Air Pollution in London

Today (22nd April) is Earth day. It was created to raise awareness for the surroundings and natural environment. Many millions of people across the world have pledged to be a little more Eco-friendly and see today as a day to improve the environment by reducing waste and toxic chemicals.

However, quite ironically yesterday it was announced that air pollution in London was at it's highest since 2003. It has exceeded the legal EU limit Of poor air quality levels for less than 35 days in the year and there are health threatening air particles that are be bad for people with asthma. The suspects for this poor air quality could be traffic or winds from Europe. Long term exposure to polluted air has caused over 4000 early deaths in London. A green party member said there is need for for 'urgent targeted measures". Despite this the new London buses, commissioned by Boris Johnson, are 40% less polluting.

To read more on air pollution issues in London visit : London Air Pollution - Guardian Article and London Air Pollution - BBC News

Today's featured iPhone app - Tetris

  Doo do do doo do do doo, do doo doo do doo do , do do do doo do do, do doo doo doo doo do... - Nintendo Tetris theme music lyrics




Electronic Arts have revamped you original arcade Tetris into this classic app. It is ideal to play with as the touch features improve some aspects of the original gameplay in Marathon mode and take it to the next stage with Magic Mode.

Things not to do with your car #1 - Fountains

There are certain things that don't go well together - kittens and sharks, sandals and snow, toothpaste and orange juice - and cars & fountains is another one.

Following the release of this BMW Series 6 Coupe + Convertible advert I have been searching for the funniest and coolest things to do with cars and fountains and reasons why they don't go well together.


Firstly, I should probably explain the crazy picture at the top left. It actually was a piece of art in Rome where a Seat Ibiza looks like it has been pushed up into the air by a jet a of water that was created by Juan Galdeano in 2008.  Also a great example of where not to leave your car parked. Learn from others mistakes ... or artwork.


Secondly, if you decide to park your car in a fountain , do it in a really awesome fountain such as this one in Las Vegas -

I can almost guarantee you would get a little more than a parking ticket fine and a drenched car.

Thirdly, do not act like a crazy fool and try and drive straight down the middle of this fountain in Peru because ..... actually that would be pretty awesome... oh wait this is things NOT to do with your car.... erm...because..you shouldn't do this with your car.


Drive-thru?

Nike Music Shoe

Is it a shoe? Is it an instrument? Is it a shoe with an instrument in it? Is it magic? Is it real? Is it the future? Is this too many questions? What is it?! 

Using technology such as accelerometers and sensors , these Nike shoes are sound controllers that are sent through computer music software and blasted through these speakers. This extremely creative project was created by a musical group called HIFANA in Tokyo. 
The concept - A shoe that you plug in and makes a noise when bent and twisted.
The idea -  To make music with an 'orchestra' of shoes.

The live recording of the HIFANA music group playing the shoes in the NikeFreeRun + advert.
 
Don't believe it? Watch this ...



Unfortunately, these won't be on sale - although they would be pretty cool to wear. The message at the end of the advert reads - The NikeFreeRun+ is absolutely a running shoe. Shoes sold at retail will NOT make music when bent or twisted.
