My Top 10 Favourite IPad Apps

almurdo — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 19:30:59 +0000

As many of you who follow me on twitter will know I dont go anywhere without my iPad so I thought it would be a good idea to post a top 10 of my favourite iPad/iPhone/iPod touch apps. Especially as I know a lot of people got them as presents this Christmas. Hope you find it interesting/helpful.

Here we go:

10. Skype

Im sure most of you have used Skype on your PC or laptop, its a great way to keep in contact with people for free via video calling. You can take it with you where ever you go and its perfect if youre traveling abroad as it will avoid racking up a massive phone bill calling home. Best part about it is the app is free!

9. TuneIn Radio

Sometimes I get bored of listening to my ITunes library. Fortunately your IPad can now be the best radio youve ever owned. The TuneIn Radio app lets you listen to any radio station in the world and its simple to use no tuning.

8. BBC Iplayer

The BBC iplayer, ITV player and 4OD player all work really well on the IPad. If you miss any of your favourite programs you can catch up with them wherever you are.

7. CineXPlayer

This is a great video player app which lets you take your favorite TV shows and Movies with you on the go. It costs a couple of pounds but Ive tried free ones and this is defiantly the best. To get content on to the app just attach it to your ITunes and copy the files you want on to the app.

6. Dropbox

Some of you may already use Dropbox on you laptop or PC and now you can get it on your IPad. It allows you to view files on your IPad and also view them on your PC/laptop. This enables you to exchange any kind of file between your computer and IPad without having to connect it to your ITunes.

To get an account and also some extra free space click here.

5. Sky+

If you have a Sky+ box this is a great app as no matter where you are you can access the tv guide and record your favourite show so you can watch them when you get home. It also has a great search function just in case you forget when the shows on. Also, its free so why not?

4. Echofon

I enjoy a good tweet so a good twitter app is a must have and Echofon is the best app Ive come across (Ive tried a lot) there is a free version and a pay version. Theyre pretty much the same apart from the pay version doesnt have an advert in the bottom left hand corner of the screen but it doesnt bother me.

3. Pocketbooth

This is a great app that allows you to take old school style photobooth pictures. It cost 69p in the app store but that seems like a really good deal, there are plenty of options in the app and its great fun to play around with.

2. Snapseed

Everyone likes playing with pictures theyve taken and Snapseed is my favorite app for this. It gives you more control unlike some apps that have built in presets (although its no photoshop). The app costs a couple of pounds but I think its well worth it to add some interest to your pictures.

1. Flipboard

This last app is probably my favourite although its not the most exciting. I like to view content from all over the internet, articles, blogs, images and videos. This app acts like a newspaper/magazine so you tell it what you want to see and it will put it all in one place for you to view.

All of the above apps can be found in the app store so check them out. Hopefully that will get you started with some good apps to use. Let me know which ones you like in the comment box below.

Christmas Photo time

How to be funny…

almurdo — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 15:30:59 +0000

I wrote this post a few months ago just after Id been on holiday but never got round to posting it but as there was a Michael McIntyre Christmas Road Show on Christmas Day I thought why not post it now.

Actually this book wont make you funny and neither will this post but for the week I read Michael McIntyres book for some reason I felt it (probably hugely misplaced!) Reading the book it seems the secret to being funny is the sequence of events that string his life together. Its hard to even begin to believe that all these things could have happened to just one man, if he hadnt become a comedian it would have been a travesty and a waste of good material.

I picked this book up in the airport because Im a big fan of his work and also I like to read while I sit in the sun! On my last holiday I read Alan Carrs book Look Who It Is! and it was hilarious! It had me laughing to myself and everyone around me wondering who the weirdo next to them was. Im glad to say Michaels book pretty much does the same job. The book is written in a style that makes you feel like hes talking to you and his sense of humor works just as well on the page. Throughout the book hell stick a gag linking back to something hes mention earlier which makes the book flow and connect well.

If you havent seen any of Michael McIntyres stand up check the video below! This is one of my favourite sketches of his.

Merry Christmas Special

Christmas is a fun time of year in the Murdoch household. We’ve been and cut down our own tree and Katie had a number of christmas events at college which has really put us in the festive mood this year. While decorating the tree we thought it would be a fun idea to put a little Murdoch Christmas video together. Please check it out below hope it makes you feel a little festive too!

Bob – A Short Film

almurdo — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 23:38:52 +0000

I got a new camera recently, a Canon 60D, I had been wanting to play with the video function and today was that day the sun was out and Bob (my dog) was a willing actor. I ened up edited a few of the shots together to make this short film entitled “It’s a Bob’s Life”. Check it out if you like really cute dogs or your a fan of Bob.
