spoonfedSpoonfed want to make it less likely that you’ll miss stuff in this glorious capital called Lodon.

I love livining in London as there’s always something to do – but sometimes that can also mean that the chances of me finding out about something after it’s happened is also more likely.

The amount of gigs, burlesque and comedy shows that I’ve missed just because I didn’t read the listings for a week or buy a magazine are innumerable.

Through the mighty power of the iPhone hooked up the knowledgebase of the Spoonfed app you can soon become the go-to-person for all entertainment queries.

You’re dropped slap-bang into the middle of the action with Twitter feeds from venues updating you on what’s going on around you and where, including reviews from critics.

You can even share your own opinions on these events when you get there.

Its radar feature is what’s got me hitting ‘Download App’.

It shows you where you are and a number of pinpoints pop up with real-time information on what’s going down in your locale.

It could be a secret gig, a hidden gem of a pub or news that the concert you’re trekking across London for has been cancelled.

It’s gotta be worth it – as it costs absolutely nothing!

This is also a brilliant app for those visiting the UK Capital and want to catch a West-End show or want to know where to get Great British beer from :)

Let me never hear those words, “I’m bored” ever again London-based Gadgety readers!

TI’s 2nd Gen Pico Projector 20% Smaller

2nd-gen-pico-projectorProjectors are getting smaller and smaller.  Let’s face it – you can get them in mobile phones now!

Have a look at the picture – yup, there’s an even smaller one!

It is the second generation Texas Instruments DLP Pico projector and it gets even better.

The petite Pico is 20% smaller than the first one as well as being 20% thinner as well.

The new Pico projects an 854×480 (DVD quality) image with a contrast ratio of 1000:1.

I can’t find any info regarding the all important brightness output apart from it being “much brighter” but everything else reads just dandy :)

Twitter #uksnow With Your Snow Rating

February 2, 2009 Click to read more →

You’ve gotta love Twitter!
A programmer has developed a Twitter Google mashup to allow Twitter users in the UK to track how bad the snow is – by tagging your Tweet with #uksnow.
The website takes the snow reports from Twitter users based on their postcode and a snow rating out of 10.
This is then automatically mapped on to [...]
