Jim Wolff, man
Delicious digital morsels served on a crisp bed of verbiage, sprinkled with freshly picked links and lashings of multimedia goodness. Occasionally.
Bio
Jim spends his days as a digital guy at The Leith Agency, spare minutes spinning Leith Records and nights howling at the moon. All views expressed are mostly none of his own.

TuneTug: Crowdsource Music For Your Party
Nice little app for putting together party playlists and getting your mates to vote on them. Welcome to social clubbing, where the people are the DJs.

Real nice. On the Christmas wish list.
Part instrument. Part light play. Part information design. Esquire invited Hush to design a media installation on behalf of one of its sponsors, Acura. They made people touch, hear and play in unconventional ways. - Hush (via Fast Company)

Spotify Do Apps
:: It was only a matter of time… Soon we’ll get apps within apps within apps, and disappear up our metaphysical appholes. But can’t say I’m not a little bit excited about the prospect.
You can download the beta version and have play.
From Publisher to Platform: The Guardian’s Open Platform
Over a year old, but still a fascinating look into how a newspaper business embraces new technologies using an API model. And are now in a better place a year on.
Little Printer
:: Ok. So this is an old technology (a printer) redefined and distributing bitesize chunks of of data supplied by new technology (geo-located mobile activity via Foursquare) in a cute and quirky way. I’ve a feeling it’ll be big (in a small, adorable way).
Yet another great project to come out of BERG.

Edinburgh Aikido Club
:: In case you were wondering, this is what Aikido looks like. As told by Edinburgh Napier media student, Joanna Jamrozy. You might even catch a peep of yours truly.

Zx Plectrum App
:: ”This is the best thing in the history of ever”, wrote one YouTube commenter. Couldn’t have put it better myself.
Loving the old-skool musical jiggery-pokery with this app of distinction by the ever experimental DaveSapien.
And possibly the best use of striped glove in iPad demo too.
