Fensham Pond. Had such a lovely picnic in the boiling hot weather with my girlfriend today.
For those of you who have been brave enough to be independent and not be sucked in to Apple’s marketing ploys, I give you the list of my favorite android apps!
Android Assistant - This app is marketed as being really good for saving battery life. I’ve found it much more useful for speeding up my phone. I have an HTC Wildfire so it’s not the quickest thing around. This app stops unwanted processes running in the background. It’s basically like task manager for Windows and it’s free.
Sleep As An Droid - I love sleep, as do most people. But I despise waking up in the morning and feeling ridiculously tired no matter how much sleep I’ve had. This app solves that problem and acts as a very smart alarm clock. You place your phone in your bed and the app uses your phone’s accelerometer to measure your movement. The idea is that you move more in light sleep than you do in deep sleep. When you set an alarm, the app will try and wake you in your lightest stage of sleep any time up to half an hour before your alarm is due to go off. This means that you no longer wake up in deep sleep feeling groggy and tired. There are clever graphs to look at and you can set it to record any noises you make in your sleep. Not essential to the app but very interesting. Are bargain for around 80p and it will make the mornings bearable.
So I’ve had this fear of flying for a few years now. Not sure where it came from, it just kind of crept up on me. Realised lately that I want to travel and see the world a lot more because I think new experiences and sharing those experiences with people is key to having a rich and fulfilled life. So I decided to try out Paul McKenna. I’ve listened to his fear of flying MP3 only twice so far and already it’s made a difference. Last night I dreamt I got on a plane to California and I was totally relaxed about it! This is the first time I’ve had a dream about flying and it not be frightening. A few more listens and I’ll be able to get on a real plane. If you have any phobias I’d strongly recommend buying the relevant track off Paul McKenna’s site.
Had to take my girlfriend to her mum’s this morning. Thought I deserved a McDonald’s breakfast and a bit of philosophy after.
