Delicious digital morsels served on a crisp bed of verbiage, sprinkled with freshly picked links and lashings of multimedia goodness. Occasionally.

CLEARly a unique UI
:: Sweet bit of user interface design from this Clear app, making other To Do apps (like even the wonderful Wunderlist - which keeps me at least 123% more productive) look a bit clunky and out-dated. Which is what all great design should do.

Location-Aware Music App Plays A Soundtrack For Central Park
:: Great bit of music creation and geo-location app tinkering by musical brother duo Bluebrain. Another reason / excuse to go to New York on the list.

Shame there’s not one for Edinburgh. Have a few broken pavings I’d like to flag..
Seek n Spell - a social iPhone app using wide open spaces and GPS to spell stuff. Like Scrabble, but in the park.
Now all I need to do is find people rich enough for an iPhone, keen enough to download the game too, and bored enough to spend the afternoon running around a park collecting pretend letters via their phones.
