Some thoughts:
- I am, as ever, extremely busy. This is undoubtedly a good thing, as their is nothing worse then boredom, although I’m not sure if I can really comprehend the concept right now.
- Some of the things you won’t get to see, sadly (or at least most of you, anyway); some of the things you might and one of the things is yet another redesign for this site that works better for the content I seem to be producing right now (link posts will look nicer, as will photos).
- There seems to be a distinct lack of things going on right now – nothing surprising, big or interesting; both in the online/tech and music fields. This (coupled with point 1) is why I haven’t been writing much – if I have things to write about, I will, but if not coming up with something more original takes more time then I’ve got right now.
- Season 4 of The Wire is not helping; it’s stunningly good and I need to watch another 5 episodes by tomorrow evening when Season 5 starts.
- Similarly, Wall-e is amazing. You could make a serious argument for the performance of that little robot to be the best piece of acting this year.
- I still haven’t used the iPhone app store, having realised that no app on it comes close to the usefulness of MobileScrobbler. Until I can get that for iPhone OS 2.0 I’m not upgrading (hey Apple – I know you can’t allow background apps on the iPhone, so how about building in scrobbling into the iPod app?).
- On the iPhone topic, I still haven’t got a 3G one yet – I haven’t found an O2 store with one in stock yet. I’m not that fussed though, it is just a phone (some people seem to have forgotten that).
- The forthcoming Friendly Fires album is very, very good – if you sign up to their mailing list you get a free MP3 which is well worth the effort.
- More soon.
