Trumpety Trump
I rushed (virtually) to the App Store to download a copy of this trumpet simulator app after seeing this story on the news: App iTrump wins trademark fight against Trump Organization I used to love blowing my own trumpet and now I can do it on my iPhone. I was pleased to pay £2.99 - and judging by the comments on the app, I wasn’t the first person to do so as a sort of a statement.

Mixing It
Back in the days when iPods were still A Thing, I remember being super embarrassed by mine. Picture the scene. I’m driving, university mates in the car, ROAD TRIP! Tune-age essential. So my friend Mark picked up my iPod - easy to find at the end of an awkward cable coming out of the glovebox and put it on shuffle. Now my music collection has some well-known anthems, some music that lots of people would consider pretty weird, that was all fine.

Goodbye to an old friend
Dear Sony MHC-2900 Thank you for 20+ years of faithful service. Looking at you languishing in my neighbour’s skip - into which I deposited you with their permission, I hasten to add - brings back fond teenage memories of listening to John Peel, Mark & Lard and The Evening Session late at night. I always wondered why your entire volume range was within the first ten degrees of rotation, even though I could keep turning for at least 270.09 Oct 2014
