SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE TO TRY

I was looking at different forms of blogging and such today and cam across Daily Booth. Their welcome scrren reads,

WELCOME TO DAILYBOOTH, YOUR LIFE IN PICTURES.

Document and share your life with others. Get real time updates on what
your friends and family are doing every day.

The idea behind this site is that the user uploads a picture of themselves every day accompanied by a small slogan. This then updates other users of what you are up to in easy small portions with the addition of visual material.

Well, This site got me to thin king, and i remember ages ago i cam across this site where you upload a picture of yourself every day, and over the years you make a slideshow type thing of your aging progress. I cant for the life of me remember what its called, so if anyone has any idea, please let me know!

A TRIP TO 1000HEADS FOR A PLAY WITH THEIR IPAD AND MI-FI

Im seriously loosing track of days, but I believe it was last Thursday or was it Friday? Its not important, what is important is that I had my first play with an iPad! Needless to say, all my pre-judgments flew out the window and i was in love!

I have to say; the interactive story of Alice in Wonderland application was probably my favorite. The combination of interactivity, stunning visuals along side they story line conjured up a perfect mix. I think any child would find reading a lot more interesting and less of a ‘homework-esque’ chore if more eBooks like this were published.

The other applications I had a play with also didn’t let me down. A milestone above the iphone or the ipod touches applications, the height resolution screen allowed for a more enjoyable experience. If I had t fault the iPad (which is difficult, granted) I would say that the lack of inbuilt camera is a little bit of a let down. But then I think, who would really hold up a (approx) 9.5-inch by 7.5-inch device to take a picture? Who knows what’s in the pipe line anyway, maybe there will be camera that connects to the iPad, maybe the next generation will have an in built camera?

Not only did i get the chance to test drive an iPad before i buy one (because i will) i got to try out 3 mobiles new Mi-Fi. If you took an average dongle, allowed it to connect 5 devices at one time, each to a fast and efficient service anywhere you like, you would be pretty much on the mark with what this new device from 3 mobile allows. Videos were loading pretty much right away, and sites would load at one click! Needless to say, I was impressed.

I also feel I should note, the people at 1000heads are so nice!

INSPIRATION!

I think these are fantastic! truly inspiring. They are by a guy called Filip, looking through his blog was amazing, hes a talented man. heres a link: http://www.adobemagic.com/

I particularly like the cat one, the eyes are cool. My favorite illustration type is when it still looks sketchy and not perfect.

Time to give this a go myself!!
