Power of Twitter

By admin on March 10, 2010

Another example of the power of Twitter. I bet most of us who use Twitter never really stop and think about the power of what we say. How we in 140 characters can touch another soul. This made me stop and realise people care, even when they have never met you.

Don’t let anyone tell you that relationships can’t be formed on 140 characters. I am humbled that Musey took the time out to even contemplate sticking my mug into this site. The video made me cry knowing that someone took time out to think about me.

Close Shave Part II

By admin on February 26, 2010

I thought I would modify/see if I could make the King of Shaves Azor M razor better after it cut me in my last video. The video shows the results.

Fly Tipping?

By admin on February 24, 2010

So is chucking all your rubbish over your back fence, then hiding your view of the rubbish by moving your garden shed in front of it classed as fly tipping?

Close shave

By admin on February 23, 2010

I was kindly sent a new Azor M King of Shaves razor to try out by Will. Unfortunately it did not go so well.

Excuse the very unflattering video of me, I don’t do mornings.

I think it is the little rubber flap that is at the start of the cartridge. It pulls the skin so you get a closer shave. On my chin though it was not smooth, it let my skin drop quite quick, hence the cut.

I do however recommend the shaving gel. It is not what I am used to as it does not foam up but was really nice.

I think when it comes to razors, like trainers (sneakers) you have one type that fits you. This type of razor just does not fit my face.

I adore the styling, it is a beautifully weighted razor. A lot of folk will find this razor a dream. Me, I shall keep looking for my perfect razor.

Another WP app test

By admin on February 21, 2010

This is just another test of the WordPress iPhone app. I am trying to load multiple pictures via the app.

I’ll use some pictures I took today with my iPhone :)

I still think the iPhone takes fantastic pictures.

iPhone Theatre

By admin on February 10, 2010

This is really cool. A personal theatre made by using an iPhone as the screen.

Using a shoe box, laser printer and your imagination, you can create a cool way to view movies

Thanks to Christine for the spot :)

TweetDeck v0.33.0

By admin on February 8, 2010

TweetDeck release v0.33.0 of their popular Twitter desktop client. The changes are a plenty.

A huge raft of improvements in functionality. A brand new API monitor that looks at each of your columns you have open, my poor iPhone picture below.

The amount of media that can be played or viewed from directly within TweetDeck has increased, most notably YouTube. The image below shows you some of the new features within TweetDeck.

I have always loved the ability to use 12Seconds from within TweetDeck.

There is still the ability to monitor and post to your Facebook. You can also keep track on your MySpace and LinkedIn.

The only improvement I would love to see in TweetDeck would be the ability to collapse the columns.

Go play with TweetDeck, there are loads of hidden features that I have not touched on. You can find TweetDeck here. I did notice this version of TweetDeck seems quicker. This must be due to the new way it interacts with the Twitter API.

New video below on all the new functions of TweetDeck.
