I’ve just released the first beta version of my first Android game: Dust. It’s a casual game, in which you have to herd dust particles around my desk and into a fiery pit! You can play in either time-trial mode, or in maze mode, where there are 5 levels to complete. Get it now from the Android market! QRCode after the break. Android Game: Dust continued »

•Android App for the TAB
Published on July 25, 2010
I’ve spent the day tightening the screws on my Android app for the Cambridge Tab. The beta is now available on the Market! You can browse the entire site, and share articles via Facebook/Twitter, or anything else you have installed on your phone, at the touch of a button. It’s still a little unstable, and hasn’t been tested on many phones, but give it a try and let me know what you think! QR Code after the jump. Android App for the TAB continued »
•Macro on the Cheap
Published on May 28, 2010
Macro Lenses are expensive, prohibitively so for me. I bought an Opteka Macro Lens from Amazon, which is a tenth of the price, and just screws onto the end of the standard kit lens, with excellent results. The depth of field is tiny, but with a bit of tweaking you can get excellent results. An album of my first try with it is on my Picasa.
•Mixcloud + Android: An Excellent Combination
Published on May 27, 2010
Froyo’s Flash for Android works great with the Mixcloud player. It even stops playing if you get a call/notification and resumes automatically afterwards without any fuss, and it can be tucked away in a browser tab and minimized while you’re doing other stuff, exactly as you would on your laptop.

•Nexus One Setup on Orange UK

Although the icon isn't on as I'm connected over wifi, 3G works
I got my Nexus One from Google yesterday, and it’s great! It took 3 days to ship from Illinois, and I didn’t need to pay any extra taxes on import after I’d bought it. Everything worked fine out of the box, except for internet over the mobile network, which required setting up the access point manually. This requires going to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names, then tapping 
and then New APN. The following settings need to be entered:

•Bokeh Fun
Published on December 10, 2009
Homemade bokeh filter
I made a homemade bokeh filter for my camera. As it’s just using the kit lens, the size of the design is very small, and this limits you to taking photos at full zoom, and you can’t get all the nice effects you get with a proper filter and a lens with a really large aperture, but it’s still pretty good fun! See all the photos on my Picasa page.
