It’s Magic
Apple went and released the Magic Track Pad today, genuinely this is going to be really useful in the studio simply for using the interface within Logic Pro. I prefer using a track pad rather than a mouse and was once tempted by a Microsoft keyboard with a track pad built it, but clearly came to my senses. Hopefully the Apple store wick have these tomorrow.
I have been making Sarah sound very much like the Gibb brothers, ah ah ah ah ahhhh. Oh how I love Melodyne.
Hair Straighteners
I happened to mention in a tweet that I use hair straighteners, I have since received some abuse over that. For the record I have wavy hair and they help maintain my haircut. My hairdresser convinced me to buy them (from her). They were quite expensive and are made by GHD . (BTW my friend Mai designed the GHD website).
I do get funny looks when I use them in the gym, the last guy to say something was a big bald meat head. My reply was “well at least I have hair” - I don’t really remember much after that which is why I think I may have Alzheimer’s.
Massage
Just off for a Swedish deep tissue massage, expecting pain. I wrenched my back on the treadmill after my iPhone flew off whilst running.
Master Chef
Nice to see Richard Farleigh (ex Dragon) on Master Chef later. I was on a cooking course at Rick Steins with him, spent most of the day trying to think of a killer business idea. I bet he cooks fish.
iPhone Case
Having nearly smashed my lovely new iPhone on the treadmill the other day I’ve been looking for a robust yet well designed/styled case. Elementment Case seem to have such a thing. Only available as pre-order for now but I must say they look rather nice and sturdy. Links:
