Reeperbahn - off to Germany

Would love to pretend that this is a Mixit.TV endevour, but the reality is that I am going with some friends to say goodbye to his unmarried life, us gents are going to say farewell to his hedonistic ways that tried to see him through his uni life (and his other 20 something years), otherwise known a stag weekend.

Of course thats no excuse not to see some of the top acts on, at the Reeperbahn festival, and whilst I have never heard of half the line up that isn't to say they are bad, they will just be singing in German! http://www.reeperbahnfestival.com/index.php?lang=en

Should the weekend not be excessivelybeer fuelled expect a 'comprehensive' review, or a long moan about a massive f****** hangover....

Thats it - I am quitting 3

I have always been an advocate of the mobile phone network '3' but the time has come for me to hang my old phone up and embrace something different, what caused this? Being told its "not my problem" by their support team after they sent out the wrong phone to a customer (my mother) and that because she had started using it, she was stuck with it. Honestly, I didn't expect to win the discussion, but I was unprepared for the rudeness, email to the boss man in the morning I think!

Question is what next? I have to say I am not seriously tempted by the iPhone - which is almost unthinkable as I blasted it only a year ago as overhyped and technically dated! A few flaws (no A2DP, so can't play it on my bluetooth car stereo, or with bluetooth headphones, neither of which I have, no video taking ablility)... I would love to stay away from the Cult of the Mac syndrome so many techy geeks fall into, but it has to be said I am drawn to the device! Will I succumb? Watch this space ... I am a techno geek and it seems to fit certain requirements ....!

All I know is that after the treatment of my mother by Three, the lack of decent 'incentives' to be a loyal customer' (currently due an upgrade and they keep telling me what I should buy as opposed to listening to what I want...

I am not holding out much hope for staying with them!

Social animals (online) that we are ...


We now have a Myspace and a Facebook page, the most important question is which logo do you prefer? we have a different one on each! We have been trying to figure out a decent logo and discussions have heated up - so if you do find us on MySpace or Facebook please let us know which logo you prefer.

Course we release some secretive information on each, so its worth finding us on both simply to keep upto date.

And as a special prize, the 5,000 friend we get on MySpace will get an ipod nano

Feedback needed!! - Music in your home

We're in the middle of writing a few articles on freeing the music, so please drop in the comments any experience you have had getting your digital music to where ever you are, either in the home (via wifi?) using different storage devices, and of course out of the home... The articles are going to be divided up into various areas including listening to music in the home, on the move and in the car.

If you have the perfect setup, or been surprised at how bad something can be then please post a comment!
