Kids reviewing CC’s dominant Soundbox app. I love the hustle, I love youtube, and I love the internet. I’m watching middle school kids review iphone apps instead of watching CNN. Tons of this content gets uploaded to Youtube everyday—I suppose similar to blogger, but video blogs drive home the amazing trends in publishing that are happening right now in a more visceral way than text blogs.
Here’s another one, longer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWMicNUreRM

Aqua hoops is perhaps one of the greatest applications on the iPhone. It’s not a game, it’s a toy! It is perfect when having a poo, which is pretty much when I use the iPhone the most.
See how many points you can get before you finish. Yesterday, I got 645 and I wasn’t even holding back. I think I should get extra points for a clean break. I didn’t even have to wipe.
Games for when you poo.™
Best of all, it’s made by EJ who made Dinglepop and Draw My Thing.

iPhone Ocarina: MGMT - Kids
In my senior spring of high school, four friends and I convinced our school to let us hike the Appalachian Trail for three months as class credit. During that trip, we met another hiker who wore a small flute-like instrument called an ocarina as a necklace. I liked the idea of a small, portable instrument that you always have with you. Today I found the modern day equivalent - a $0.99 Ocarina iPhone app. To play the instrument, you blow into your phone’s microphone and press four keys on the screen, which you can adjust by octave. The developer’s website includes tons of sheet music and tutorials to get you started. This is a video of me trying to learn MGMT’s Kids after just a few minutes using the app. The iPhone Ocarina officially replaces the recorder as the nerdiest instrument I can play.
