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
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

Hats with Headphones ;P
Headphones & speakers in hats, t-shirts, bags and shoes.
Future predictions reveal that more and more technology will become popular in clothing. My post looks at some of the tech which you can find in clothes today and where you can buy these items.
What is that?
What is that? The iLogic Sound hat and Airwalk Peak Headphone Hat are both hats with headphones that keep your head warm and look cool.
iLogic Sound Hat - £7.99 Pink , £11.99 White on IWOOT.com
Airwalk Peak Headphone Hat - £6 on Amazon
The boombox speaker t-shirt sold at firebox.com has built in speakers and a flashing equalizer. But if you think its impossible to wash and will smell louder than it sounds you have to unplug the battery pack before washing :DBoombox speaker t-shirt £29.99
Coolest bag ever?!!!
Plug in your iPod or mp3 and blast your music through your bag!!!

| Fydelity - G-force Speaker bag |
A similar bag for £22.99 sold online at http://www.candyfusion.com/boom-boom-speaker-helix-p-2003.html.

Today's featured iPhone app - Tetris
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
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.

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.

Evernote is an easy way to make an on-the-go scrapbook, organise your lifestyle and keep notes.
It can be downloaded to iPod touch's, iPhone's and iPad's , most smart phones with an appstore and also your computer. However, you don't have to stick to one device, you can simply press the sync button and access your notebook from any device with Evernote!
The ability to take photo's with your smart phone and sync it ,over the Internet, to your computer is very easy to do. This lets you keep a calender of photo's and you can annotate them with what you were doing when the photo was taken or what is in the photo.
