I'll start with the thing I'm not hearting - I've got a virus which hasn't turned into a cold but has given me a sore throat, painful blocked ears and feeling as weak as kitten. It's not done much for my cognitive skills either I could barely string a sensible sentence together yesterday at work. In fact for once I found it easier to write down my thoughts than say them. So I've been off work today and depending on how my ears and balance are tomorrow possibly tomorrow.
But back to the things I'm currently loving.
The new iTunes 8.oh.summit - the Genius feature is genius it can recommend new tracks from the iTunes store based on the track that you have highlighted and it can pull together playlists of music from you own collection that should all work together. It's not perfect, it won't work with the Beatles at all, it won't recommend you buy any of their stuff, include any of their songs in the playlist nor will it pull together a playlist from one of their songs. I know I tried it this morning.
Dark'n'Stormy cocktails - being easily swayed by the adverts I bought some Ginger Ale so that we could have moscow mules, Simon in the spirit of experimentation decided to use rum instead of vodka and we thought we had a new taste sensation on our hands. Not surprisingly we found out that we had been beaten to the cocktail shaker but it is still rather nice.
Romantic Internet Caused Marriages - Simon and I meet through blogs, Graham and Aimee met through Flickr and they are getting married tomorrow in the States (assuming immigration hasn't been an arse) Good luck you guys, you rock.

Good news about Graham and Aimee. I wondered what they were currantly up to :)
ReplyDeleteThanks gals - Jo it's a little known fact that your average kitchen unit couldn't crush a grape even if its life depended on it.
ReplyDeletePandora if they were like us, grinning like idiots.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes I did see what you did there, clever ;)
"it won't work with the Beatles at all, it won't recommend you buy any of their stuff"
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like it works perfectly to me.

So so so wrong
My son and daughter in law met on the internet and two couples met each other through my blog. I'd recommend it, certainly.
