4 Days of Tumbling

Posted by Andrew Wed, 22 Oct 2008 09:33:08 GMT

After a couple of days of doing this whole Tumblr thing, I’ve found some joy in just collecting things that I like. I sort of did this already, sharing with Google Reader, and to an extent using Magnolia and delicious, but I don’t know… There’s some joy to be found in just having everything on a mini-blog. I’m sure if I were ever to get a ffffound invite (if you have a spare, I’ll take it) I’d probably go nuts, but this is what I’ve got at the moment. I thought I would share with you all some of the fun things I’ve put there:

There’s a lot more to be enjoyed on the tumblog. Head over, have a look, tell me what you think.

Things I Like

I decided to play with this whole Tumblog idea and set up my own Tumblr account to collect all the things which I find cool. I may feature collections from it occasionally, but if you want to see what I think is cool, but can’t be bothered writing up, check it out

Musical treats: Brooke Waggoner

Posted by Andrew Sun, 05 Oct 2008 15:15:20 GMT

I’ve had a bit of time to trawl the internet this last couple of weeks, which is a significant change the last couple of months of my life. One thing that I’ve missed has been picking up new, obscure music. Not sure how obscure this one is, but it was kind of interesting to listen to. Brooke Waggoner was one such discovery for me. She’s been getting smatterings of press with the release of her new album. Now I haven’t yet reached home, or earned any money with which to purchase this album, but she released an EP, Fresh Pair of Eyes for free download.

It’s an intriguing collection of songs really. I was trying to put it somewhere in the musical genre spectrum, I suppose she’d fit somewhere between pop, folk, roots and something else. She describes herself as indie/pop on her myspace, but I’d guess she’d be as stumped as to where to put herself as well.

Harrison.

Here’s something for you to check out: Harrison. It’s a musical collaboration between two of my very good friends. I love the track they’ve posted there, but even more I like the website that they put together for it. It’s a nice little javascript side-scroller, which really tickles me. I hope you like it too.

Dopplr.

Dopplr. It’s the goods. I’ve kept mine updated throughout my travels, and I’ve realised how handy it would be if my fellow travellers used it as well… So what are you waiting for?

If you’re not really a traveller, then just look at my pretty profile

I actually like the site as an example of good, clean and clever web design.
