Two small thoughts regarding the future of the two iPods. Given how portable the iPad is and how much I associate it with online activities, I know that I wouldn’t get the same amount of use out of it if it was merely the WiFi version. With this in mind, would an iPod Touch with 3G capabilities work? Not phone, just the data. It would make it much more useful out and about, but if like the iPad, should not accrue too much of an extra cost.

Regarding the iPod Classic should, it, in addition to ridding itself of a HDD and gaining a SSD, should be given the capabilities of an external hard drive; most people’s entire iTunes could fit on it. It could actually be used as the library.

Just two thoughts…

I thought this place could do with a random splash of colour. These were the nearest colourful items I had.

I don’t care if journalism dies. Why? Because it died long ago. Journalism today is an amalgamation of pop journalism. Articles with a controversial headline merely for the purpose of ad revenue, articles on meaningless pop culture, and newspapers, all owned by the same entity or having the exact same agenda (etc.) have destroyed journalism; the mainstream is nothing but dribble. The old-school journalism still, exists but more in niche markets (where the general public avoid). We need a new word for Journalism, the current meaning has occupying forces on it and they appear to have a world-wide backing…

Any ideas?

This is a brief initial proposal for a Magazine/Gazette/Journal/etc. relating to the fine arts and the arts in general. I am looking for initial interest not contributors or contributions. However, anyone who merely wishes to register interest can.

I am also looking for people that would be willing to help start this project. Preferably people from many different aspects of the art world (music, literature, Art, photography, film, etc.) to represent there respective areas.

My initial thoughts on the project is that it will be strongly academic in it’s approach. With that in mind, contributions to the project would need to be academically minded and well informed about their respective areas; simply dabbling in the area or writing reviews elsewhere would not be what I’d consider appropriate experience.

Finally got my iPad 64gb 3G…

It truly is a magical devise; as soon as my mother touched it she instantly had an uncontrollable urge to buy one. Clearly this is some witchcraft from Apple…

Full set.

I thought I may as well provide a list of my technology/gadgets I own.

Apple:

MacBook Pro, Early 2008 15″ (2.4Ghz, 4gb RAM, 320gb HD)

iPhone 3GS, Black (32gb)

iPad 3G + WiFi (64gb)

iPod Nano 3rd Generation (8gb) Continue Reading…

Pierre Schaeffer

So these were the three circumstances that compelled me to experiment in music: I was involved in music; I was working with turntables (then with tape-recorders); I was horrified by modern 12-tone music. I said to myself, ‘Maybe I can find something different… maybe salvation, liberation, is possible.’ Seeing that no-one knew what to do anymore with DoReMi, maybe we had to look outside that… Unfortunately it took me forty years to conclude that nothing is possible outside DoReMi… In other words, I wasted my life.
