Is there an app for that?

I got myself involved in amateur dramatics in our village a few years ago. We have just finished a run of the classic Wind in the Willows. Busy set building and working through the technical rehearsal, I noticed how iGadgets have started creeping in. The lighting and sound guys debuted the iPod last year, plugged in to play incidental music pre and post performance and this year saw the debut of the iPad. The usual thing is a torch, a script and the lighting and sound decks to manage - not enough hands!

The iPad let him see the script clearly without the need for a torch. The sound is still done on a PC but during one rehearsal, the hall was cold and Mr Sound wanted to stand by the radiator while we were rehearsing songs. He managed to sync the iPad and the PC so that he could operate the sound from the warmest part of the hall!

The possibilities of these "machines" seem endless. I wonder how long it will be before the lighting and the sound are operated purely from an iPad while Mr Sound and Mr Lighting are perched at the bar? I'll let you know how they get on next year ...

Sorted! Bag it & Bin it has been submitted

After a busy weekend doing the final balancing for Bag it & Bin it (and some last minute changes!) the iPhone & iPad game has now been submitted to Apple for approval.

What I have learnt from this weekend is that I'm pretty rubbish at our own game, coming last in the race to finish the game with all the unlockable achievements. To add further insult I was beaten by someone who had consumed a whole bottle of wine!

Developed for Wessex Water, Bag it & Bin it is a fun & educational game that teaches the player what should & should not be flushed down the loo. You'd be surprised what some people do flush!

Bag it & Bin it - Coming soon to the app store. Hopefully well before Christmas. God speed little game.
