Vintage Typo Errors for iPad

Who doesn't want to do their typing on a French vintage typewriter on their smart new iPad. Well me for one!! I'm a real sucker for unusual apps. It is almost impossible to use, no undo button, different keyboard layout, and small keys. But it does type on wonderful old papers with cool French graphics, and I love the sound. Yea I could be a real writer with this app, with some practise, if I had something to write. If I could write in French. If I had the time. If you want to find it

add your art to music video

The Johnny Cash Project.
This music video is being created by anyone who wants to participate. You are given a frame to work on, online, with tools and in black and white, tracing over the original in your own artistic way. The result is an amazing texture video animation. Each frame can be stopped and details of who did it with a time lapse drawing session, so you can see how they did it. I'm waiting to hear if mine is accepted, although it isn't particularly wonderful. Takes a while to work from white down to black, getting the tones right. And if you don't have a Wacom, I think it would be quite difficult to do with a mouse. Anyhow, some of the drawings are very simple and I prefer these, I do tend to over complicate things. Give it a go, and be part of this amazing video

Put Youtube videos, pictures and music on your ipod


If you fancied having some Youtube videos on your ipod for instance or maybe just on your desktop, its as easy as (think of something easy) that. Here is a piece of software download it, click to open, put in your apps, and open the prog. Put in the url of want you want to copy, specify what format you would like ie for ipod/ windows/ mpg4 or just the audio (useful). In its preferences you can specify it to save to your desktop. Start the engine and when finished drag the video into your ipod movies.
Another tip if you dont know it already, I found useful (for the mac) If you want some photos off the web to put on your ipod or anywhere else for that matter, just drag the picture from the web onto your desktop. If you would like just a selected part of the picture (useful) use command +shift+ 4. Drag the resulting crosshair across the picture where you want to copy. You will find it on your desktop. Drag the picture into your ipod photos. I didnt know life could be that easy
Oh and thinking about it, if you want some cool/nice/interesting (whatever) music on your ipod (+anywhere else) you can go to my mixes at the bottom, click on 'go to this podcast', download it and drag into your ipod playlist. You can also (if you want the album cover artwork I did) for windows, right click, save as, for mac just drag the art, onto your desktop. while in your ipod, right click and get info. Click on Artwork, Add, then drag the relevant artwork for that mix into the box. You now have the bona fide art. And I worked all that out by myself. Oh I'm sooo clever :). Anyway I hope you enjoy this music, and find some new genres you love like I did. btw if you dont have an ipod......get one, great for doing the housework with or just having me time (which is the best time)

instant polaroid maker



WoW I love Polaroids, I have 2 working vintage ones lol, but the film is 2 dear, is that really how you spell that, well I found this cool digi app yesterday. free. You just drag your pic onto it, it ejects the polaroid and while waiting for the development you can shake it to get the different retro colour variations. One I did earlier (my daughter) It does high res so its good for printing out. Easy to download Win/Mac, free (but a donation is welcome). Click on machine to left for the homepage. Apparently Polaroid will stop making their cameras next year. Go to the Save the Polaroid, site Flickr group and contest. But if they do/dont you can make your own, on your computer.

Wallpapering your Mobile

I dont mean collageing and wallpapering your phone externally although you could, people do do that. I mean digitally wallpapering its inside. Customizing your phone is fun and easy. If you have a Bluetooth computer and phone. There are other ways to get wallpapers on your phone, data cable link between the two or by finding a site that will send your phone a wallpaper (and ringtones) for $4.95 or whatever they charge, that's per week until you tell them to stop, (thats what I found, when researching this) Well you can choose from my collection for free and download what you want. Just Click on the link to the left, takes you to the Picasa album. Right click and 'save as' to your computer file. Find your Bluetooth in preferences (you need to have enabled your devices)Click Send File, select file to send, then send to your phone. Move to the memory card. You can set the image as your wallpaper.
About the images, the first 10 are from photos I took at Shepard Fairey's art exhibition in London last year. Close ups of parts of his stencilled collages. The rest are designed by me in Photoshop using brushes, effects and ephemera. all resized for 205x268 pixels or 3x4 ins which fit my screen size. If you have different sized phone screen it may crop the image or resize it depending on its software.
Ringtones, I've got that covered too, just scroll down. Will be adding some more of these
