Egg Timer iPhone app

Posted: June 16th, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: Advertising, Creative, Mobile, Technology | Tags: , | No Comments »

Love this app for Kalles that tells you how to boil the perfect egg, but also puts a playlist together that, when finished, means your egg is ready. It’s a small thing but a really nice touch.

I see way too many apps that are packed with “things” and “features” that don’t do any of them very well. Much prefer this single focus / brilliant execution approach.

By CP+B Europe, the app has already been downloaded more than 50,000 times.


iPhone Enabled: “Take Me Out” by Atomic Tom LIVE on NYC subway

There need never be another iPhone commercial after this one — and it’s not one.

This video was filmed unannounced on Friday October 8, 2010 aboard the New York City B Train, over the Manhattan Bridge into Brooklyn and edited from 3 iPhone cameras. All footage is performed 100% live and executed in one take.

4.5m views and climbing.

This is a smart.

A lot of people think AR is dead and a bit of a dirty word, but there’s some interesting stuff appearing again.

Add in untapped areas like mixed reality, outdoor experiences, events, and gaming; and I’m not so sure we should be writing it off just yet.

Square lets you accept payments, everywhere. No contracts, monthly fees, or hidden costs.

Brilliant concept. Few security concerns. One to watch.

I’m going to try this out later.

Interesting to go for completely voice / no-touch in an app, but I like the look of it.

Hey, I’m Using The Cloud

Posted: December 12th, 2009 | Author: | Filed under: Digital, Mobile, Technology, Web | Tags: , , , , , , | No Comments »

I don’t know exactly when it happened but it’s just dawned on me. I’m sat here doing a bit of work using Google Docs, working/sharing files with Dropbox. I’ve started using the Cloud.

I don’t use Docs for work yet, but for personal stuff it’s great.

I all over it for Docs and Spreadsheets but avoid the Powerpoint / Keynote side – its not feature rich enough yet.

Dropbox has become an installation essential for me. Bascially it’s what .Mac should have been. The big difference is that you get a folder on your local drive which is kept in sync with the cloud – meaning you have online/offline access to all the files.

It can also ACTUALLY handle large files (which .Mac is absolutely shambolic at), it gives you progress feedback, and doesn’t cause your machine to freeze up. Love it.

There’s also a web interface too which is dead easy to use.

Here’s a little demo of the Dropbox in action.

To make sure I can access stuff on the move I’ve got a shortcut to Google Docs Mobile and the Dropbox app on my iPhone. It’s made life a lot simpler!!

If you’ve not tried them yet – challenge yourself at the start of 2010. A clean break. A line in the sand. A fresh start.

I’ve run out of metaphors….
