A quick demo to show what a difference a mic wind shield can make.
This DIY shield cost me apx. 70p ($1) and makes a real difference to the sound quality when filming outdoors during windy conditions.

Listening to Last.fm in the car.
I recently rediscovered Last.fm thanks to the iPhone app and have been successfully using it whilst driving about in the car. Thanks to the good 3G coverage here in the UK Last.fm works pretty much how you would expect a proper FM station to work with hardly any buffering at all. Last.fm have recently updated their iPhone software and it’s now stable enough to use as your in-car solution.
The 3G usage is high so it drains the battery in no time, I have purchased a 12v cigarette charger and leave it plugged in whilst I use it. I also purchased a dummy cassette tape audio out which works a treat. Check out my video demo below.Vimeo video sharing
I’ve just discovered a cool alternative to YouTube called Vimeo, the main advantages over YouTube are clip length and video quality. You get 500 megabytes of storage each week and can even upload videos in HD.
