Here's how to use the RJDJ iPhone app. You install the app, plug your headphones in, launch it, and press "Now Playing". A song plays, the app starts to sample the sounds in your environment, and those sounds are remixed in real time and played back to you. It might be the coolest thing ever. Check out this video and this other video for a quick look at how RJDJ works. The first video shows some songs that use the iPhone's accelerometer to modify and scratch the beat. (via waxy)
PS. It might only be the coolest app in theory...it's also flaky as hell. It was working fine for me and then crapped out...there's no music now, only sound sampling and it's really quiet. Maybe you need to use the Apple headphones with the mic?

Great news is here - iMatrix is ported into SDK version beta 3!!!
New
iMatrix will be a little bit different from current toolchain based version because SDK has different set of frameworks and classes.
Simulator based application
cannot handle camera attached to my Mac Mini, but it does all the rest quite well and, that is very important, according to stricts rules Apple set. No more private frameworks, no more Address book hacks; just clean and legal stuff! Next days I will publish photos of new
iMatrix application... return here frequently please.
There are sad news as well. It looks like import/export of notes and Safari's bookmarks should come out... The same with Calendar...
BUT you will be
surprized as well! Will say just this:
iTunes,
YouTube and
Google Maps!
Now the story :) At first, I had to purchase new Mac Mini because OS X Leopard is vital for SDK. After some time and with the help of my collegues, I found what I looked for! After updating the system and installing SDK/Xcode I became "happy" owner of development environment for creating cool and amazing native iPhone applications! Well... then I had several weeks of hard coding and getting familiar with Xcode... It is in past now! After all, I can say that Apple did realy cool product. It is not ready and quite fresh but it works and has HUGE potential. I personally will use it for sure.

Think all paint brushes are created equal? Think again. Purdy -- manufacturers of painting tools -- has just launched a new site called Paintrelief.com, which features educational videos that demonstrate the importance of a good paint brush. The site shows visitors how using a quality paint brush can help you achieve better and faster results, and how a durable paintbrush will actually save you money -- and the environment. The videos are cute and obviously intended to sell Purdy ...

Every year, we toss over thirty billion glass bottles into the trash. That staggering amount of discarded glass is creating an environmental problem nearly beyond control. EnviroGLAS is one of those rare companies that had an idea and turned it into an innovation to benefit the environment. EnviroSCAPE is one such innovation. [...]
