I thought I’d just ‘big up’ the audio book Transistor Rodeo that I’ve been listening too. It’s a FREE audiobook by Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff - he used to be screen writer or something, he reads the book himself as well as scoring the music. It’s a really good listen, kid safe too! I shan’t ruin the story but if you like robots and action it’s definitely worth checking out.

Personal post: At the weekend we ticked the final item off our wedding preparations list - the venue is book, the dress is bought, invites are going to the printers…etc, etc. - so now just have to wait until September for the day, oh and the honeymoon is booked!
Why can’t smart play lists be smart? I mean, if you build a play list that looks for say unplayed podcasts - when i’ve listened to the podcast (and iTunes knows the play count is 1) on my ipod why can’t it disappear from the playlist on my ipod.

At long last Google Apps Gmail has been updated to the same version as the gmail.com version. Bringing with it the ability to colour code tags, new contact management etc etc…it took a while to get it to the Google Apps servers it would seem!
A while back I blogged about my disappointment with CF8 licensing in virtual machines - my post got a fair amount of attention, i’ll leave you to read it for yourself here but it sounds like a change could be coming!
Blu-Ray specifications currently under development require an internet connection - interesting! I guess since most of the drives are software upgradable that means that with an internet connection that process could be made automatic as well as providing a mechanism for key revocation?? What if the internet connection was used as an authorisation process for actually playing the content?
Tomorrow Apple has called the press to it’s Cupertino headquarters for annoucements regarding the iPhone Roadmap…here are my predictions…
On a slightly different tack from Adobe, the BBC are reporting that Microsoft will be expected to announce Silverlight will be going mobile onto Nokia handsets to begin with.
BBC comedy always says it best, if you’ve arranged a wedding then you’ll understand these videos!
