The Talking Piano (via. @SynthGear : SynthGear Synth Blog)

Yeah, it's been a long time since I've posted anything.

This was too good to not post.

Basically, the guy analysed the frequency spectrum of a kid reciting the Proclamation of the European Environmental Criminal Court. He then used that information to recreate the frequencies as well as he could on a piano, thus a talking piano is born.

It's pretty genius.

We've made Jamie Olivers rustic tortilla soup. It's not as brown but tastes pretty damn good!

Spotify Mobile Apps for iPhone AND Android! ^^

Spotify Mobile

iphone-small.png

You’ve seen the demos, we’ve gotten the approvals and now Spotify is mobile.

Today we’re really excited to announce that Spotify is available to our premium subscribers for the iPhone, iPod Touch and Android platforms. The Spotify app is downloadable in both Apple’s App Store and the Android Market.

We’ve worked hard to bring you the same great Spotify experience you’re already familiar with to your phone. The mobile apps will allow you to take the entire Spotify catalogue and put it in your pocket. You can use our ‘offline mode’ to make playlists available at all times, even when no connection is available, perfect for that ride on the tube or long flight across the Atlantic.

Launching these apps is our first step at going mobile and we’d like to thank all the people who worked hard on making this happen as well as all the partners involved in the process.

We’ve set up a mobile section with more details and we look forward to hearing your thoughts. We know that you’ve been eagerly awaiting this launch and we appreciate the patience – now go out and get that app!

This is a nice surprise.

After weeks of online media making such a fuss about the iPhone/iPod Touch app, they all forgot to mention the Android version. Well, they're both out now and I would love to give them a go, but can I be persuaded to shell out for a £9.99 premium service? I'm not sure, after all I already have a sizeable digital music collection, but I can definitely see the appeal!

Let me know how it works out for you all in the comments!

^^

Gledholt: The Song

  
(download)

I got reminded of this little gem that I had on my webspace by Luke today.  It's a song a few of us in the house wrote on one of those restless days, just a little after Tom left to have a baby!

Brings back yet more good memories of one of the best years, if not the best year of my life... well.... so far.

later, bitches.

The Awesome Power of the Slinky

...or should that be "force of the slinky"...

I've just been having a little spring clean of all the bookmarks I have on Firefox and came across this.

It's pretty fantastic if you didn't know about it before.

Slinkies. Now with added awesome.

Hello Number 78

Again, this post is mainly for the benefit of my family.

In the previous post we were saying goodbye to our house in High Wycombe, well, this is the new flat in Eastbourne - right by the coast, beautiful views, spacious flat and a great location!  I'm sure my parents will have a fantastic time down there and I can't wait to go down again, It's going to be like a mini holiday everytime I visit, I'm sure of it!

Goodbye Number 29

This is mainly for the benefit of my family, but I'm sure a few of you will miss the house and memories of the Lee's at number 29 The Briars.

My parents and I moved house just over a week ago now.  They've moved down to Eastbourne (another post to follow) and I'm currently lodging with a friend for another month or two while I get my own place sorted with friends.  I'm going to miss this house, I've lived there all my life, but I know the move was the right decision and the right change of life.

So, as a salute to the house here are some photos I took just before we left on the long drive down to the south coast!
