Christmas Songs App

Been using this app to listen to Christmas songs while I work to have a jolly mood while spending 10 hours a day in the library….

Check out this app

Christmas Music


It doesn’t look that impressive, but it does the job!

List of so many Christmas songs streamed to the phone!


Not sure how much it cost I think it was £1. But for the Christmas spirit it brings! Definitely worth it!

Only downside is that the songs are shuffled. Good n bad I supposed!streaming movie The Boss Baby

Give it a try!

My New Kindle 3

I have a new toy!
Got myself a kindle 3!!
I know I know…
My GF already told me. “You have an iPad what’s the point of getting this”

People don’t realise! You Can’t Compare!!

You can even make money with Kindle like this!
Find out Here!!

But I am not using it for making money! Just using it to read!

Yes, iPad is like an e-reader, but somehow it is just different. It is more like an entertainment device. I use iPad for movies,games,browsing,songs,and to read comics and magazines. Occasionally a book.

Somehow after using the kindle, it it’s a whole new level of reading. It is really a proper e-reader, for serious reading.
iPad is quite big and the Screen can be quite tiring to look at after awhile.

Been reading with kindle and it just feels like a book. It’s smooth and it doesn’t strain my eyes! (Will write a kindle 3 review soon!)

Finished a book by Lee Child called Worth Dying For in 2 nights. Pretty interesting story, but some parts you will think it is a bit unrealistic. Oh well it is fiction! I don’t read a lot, but finishing in 2 nights is quite an achievement!

Anyways!
Checked amazon & saw the bestseller was this! Loaded it up on the kindle and I’m ready for another round !

I’ll try create a widget or a page on the blog with what book I am currently reading. Will be quite cool to have a record of the books I have read.

So Stieg Larsson — The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo!

I am now officially reading you!

A Day at Giverny with my D3 + 105mm VR


Decided to take a drive from Paris to Giverny on Sunday. Perfect sunny weather!

Only took my D3 + 105mm micro lens. Wanted to just walked around and travel light. Didn’t get to capture a lot of landscape shots with that lens. It was hard to take nice landscape with so many tourist everywhere. Decided to go close instead! Main focus was just flowers……Hardly travel with my micro lens…was a good day to use it.

Was really nice to see where Monet stayed and got his inspiration from…the area is a beautiful place…a little too crowded with tourist…but it was Sunday..was pretty enjoyable drive + day.

Always wanted to take bugs and flowers…so gave it a go!
Just walked around with the camera and lens…no tripod no flash…just natural lighting and steady hands!

Wanted to focus on the flowers…so cropped it 1×1 to get a square frame around to capture the attention on the flowers…added vignette to it to really focus on the colours….

My Fav Flower Shot

I like it!

Intermission break….was in my backyard…tried using iphone 4 to take this snail..

Incredibooth for iPhone 4


Just downloaded this app, and it is really a lot of fun!

So I figured I should recommend it!
It cost £0.59 or $0.99
It works like a photo snapping booth you see in the mall.
4 photos in one.

It comes with 3 types of filter.
Black n White, Reddish, and some colour-cross processed filter.

It works pretty smoothly… Professionally done.
The only downside is the limited filters.

Nike Plus Sensor, Iphone 4 & Sports Armband

Since getting my new phone, I have been more inclined to go out for a run instead of the gym.

Why?

Because finally I get to track my running.

The new Iphone is just great, with the multitasking capabilities just made it a whole lot more amazing.

It is really a smart phone, I get to track my pace, my distance, my time, play my songs, map my route, guide my directions (GPS), and a whole lot more.

Let me start with Nike Sensor. I have always wanted one, but I couldn’t justify buying an ipod nano just to be able to get the sensor, or to get the nike bracelet. But, my lovely/wonderful/amazing/perfect gf got me my iphone. The first thing I did after getting back was to order the sensor. Had to buy an armband to go along. Can’t run holding the phone, or let it bounce away in the pocket. (too risky)

Searched online thru ebay, nike shops, but the cheapest was still Amazon. Got the whole set for around £20ish pounds.

The armband I found was iGadgitz Black & Silver Reflective Neoprene Sports Gym Jogging Armband for Apple iPhone 4. £7.

Saw the photos and I was sold! Looks pretty good, not too bulky and it comes with a slot for my house key/coins. No more annoying key/coin jiggling in the pocket.

Used it. It fits comfortably. A little tricky with the screen coz of the plastic protecting it, but I love it.

Nice!

Handy!

And the sensor + the sensor pouch.

How it looks on my shoe

Marware Sportsuit + Sensor

You can find all those listed items in Amazon.

That is where I bought all of it from, as far as I know it is cheaper than ebay.

Now the apps!

Nike sensor is good because you get the sync it with the website, and it lets you track your distance, speed, time , set goals, set schedules, make or join challenges, and join a community of runners.

So after syncing with your sensor, an app will appear on the phone, and this is the screen.

Main Nike Plus App Screen

The screen while you run tracks the distance and all other info

What is so cool about it is the app is integrated to the phone, in the lock screen, if the home button is pressed. The music will soften and a voice will read out the distance, time, and pace. So you can just check how far you ran anytime without looking. REALLY COOL!

Running Screen

This history screen to monitor the performance.

History

Pro:

  • Integrated well with the phone system
  • Accurate distance so far
  • Awesome monitoring with sync

Cons::

  • No easier way to change songs 0r playlist (to change songs you have to swipe to unlock and change, for playlist you have to go all the way out to the ipod app player)
  • No GPS tracking

To solve the gps problem. I found another app that is great by itself. With the multitasking function of iPhone. Both systems can be running for optimum monitoring.

It is called ENDOMONDO.

It is also another sportish community. The app tracks the performance by using gps coordinates.

They have voiceover to  inform you when you reach a certain distance.

Running Screen

The best part of this is you get a map that maps out your route, and shows it in your work out history.

MAP IT!

Pros : Great app to track performance and tracking it visually with the map.
Cons: Not as integrated as nike app.

Lastly!! TomTom App.

Let us visualize how iphone is just great and how it just works. With Multitask function on iphone…all the apps are running while you run.

Wake up in the morning! Check Weather App for the weather or Weather Pro or Megaweather for more detailed timed weather report. It says sunny! you get ready to run!

Turn on Nike+ and Endomondo…start running.While listening to the radio via RadioTunes app or Spotify App. (or pandora in the US) or just the music on the phone.

See a beautiful view…take it out and take a photo or a video in hi-def.

Twit about it or facebook it in twitter app or facebook app, maybe reply a mail.

Continue running….You want to try a new route..you end up in a place you have no idea how to get back from…turn on TomTom App (a bit pricy but worth it)

This is what you will see..

Set it to your home, and get back to nike app while tomtom is running in the background and will tell you the direction to get home while you are running!

The Map

See what I mean…..Everything just works together. Like what mr apple says….IT JUST WORKS.

Give it a try…

These are all the recommended apps for running/jogging/walking/cycling, anything.
