Recommended apps for the iPhone

February 7, 2009

I’m going to do something different to what my normal posts are; I’m going to recommend a couple of iPhone/iPod touch apps:)

The first one I’ve been playing around with for a while and find it really cool. I’ts called ‘touch physics’. You basically have to get a small ball to touch a small star using your finger to make blocks to move the ball to the star. There are little platforms on some levels where the laws of physics take place like falling and bouncing across the screen. It’s only £0.59 so its really cheap and pretty addictive. There is also a free ‘lite’ alternative but you only get a few levels. Currently I’m stuck on a level with a duck and the star is blocked by a big tree… So I’ll have to work out how to complete the level.

The second one is called ‘Blocked’ It is also very cheap but there is not a lite version, I can’t remember how much it is but it is worth the money. As it says on the item description, it is very addictive. You basically have to get this small blue block out of this box. It is a puzzle to move the blocks out of the way, but the blocks will either move up and down or left and right.

I would recmmend getting them both as they’re really cool for casual gaming as I am good at.:)

Well I might do some more posts like this as they’re fun.:D


More Snow, More Drums and More Podcasting

February 6, 2009

Lots more snow has fallen where I am which is great! Had a couple of great days in the snow on the day of the snow falling, as always by the next day the snow is turned to mush and genraly sucks.
The first good snow was on monday night, then there wasn’t much snow after that until thirsday:D when I took the day of and had a great time moving a hudge snow ball for no appaent reason. Me and my mates then sledged down a hill for a bit and then we went in and my feet were freezing!
It was really good though, I doubt there will much more good snow as this is very rare in the UK, this has been the most snow for 18 years! I am not relly bithered if we do have any more as normally I am really exited by lots of snow, but as we’ve had a good amount for about a week i’ts starting to be not as interesting. Now I cant wait until summer!
I have bought a load of new drum stuff! I have bought; one crash symbol, a set of high hat symbols with a crash and ride symbol, a snare drum stand, two sets of sticks, a double bass pedal, three symbol stands and 15 pairs of ear plugs…- all of which I am very happy with:) It has really given me a boost of enthusiasm for my drumming and I really want to start a band! I used to be really ashamed of my kit and thought it was awful and an embarresment to drumming. Now, I love it! It looks really cool and sounds great:D I think I could still improve on a couple of things like getting a new high hat stand, new snare drum and toms but I’ll gradually build things up and there’s no need to rush anyway so its all good:)
I have am up to episode 4 of my ‘Tech Basics’ podcasthttp://techbasics.podbean.com,
I will be recoding episode 5 later on tonight, It is a bit late as I havent thought of a topic until now! I normally record on tuedays but I will have to friday for this one.:)

Thanks for reading!
