Over a quiet cup of tea this morning Apple let us know PB Go will be on the store in 3 hours. It’s there. It’s not too shabby. Went public with this site. Then I bought the app. I couldn’t help myself.

After spending a whole month of my life researching on line media I too decided it’s a self fulfilling whirlpool of tossers claiming they can capture and control social media. I joined twitter, linkedin, facebook. I watched fakesteve turkey slap John Gruber. Then un-followed everyone. So check out the top rating forever Doodle Jump’s website. Thats right it’s a page of icons that link to iTunes. That’s Lima’s online media strategy. They don’t have one ! They don’t need to. They’re in Wikipedia, referenced in TV sitcoms and sold over 3 million copies. So whilst we all blog on until our hearts are content remember if it aint a good idea it aint going to fly no matter how many times you sponsor Daring Fireball. That’s it I’m not blogging anymore.

Ode to the office-less office. Now I’m free, no-ones bothering me, with their keynote presentations, board room meetings, spreadsheet, downsizing, rationalising, professional platitudes. Sitting in the park watching the dog play. I smile smugly, looking at the trees, they wave back and say “Hey we’ve been here a long time. Glad to see you made it out OK” …. so I’m going nuts talking to the trees. No more water cooler conversations. Tweets instead. Blogs but sunshine. I’m free and Apple can keep their 30% that’s fine by me.

Run the stop watch or enter and edit results at any time. Once a card has been created you can add more events by clicking on the + button. Build your unique card collection by taking a photo or choosing one from your photo library. Resize the photo. Play the fullscreen celebration animation from the well done button. You can sort results by toggling between the stopwatch – calendar icons on the back of the card. From the front of the card click on the send icon to email a picture of the card, the event results or all the results for an athlete. You can not change an event after you have recorded a result for that event. If you make a mistake choosing the event description build a new card – edit in the result you want, then delete the mistaken event card. Note: in this version if your phone rings whilst recording an event it will interrupt the timer.
