Red's Ramblings v.2

Finally #virgilioanderson trends on twitter and I feel partly responsible which is very cool.

For a number of weeks Richard Herring has been trying to get his nemesis Virgilio Anderson to trend but what with people dying and the Iranians kicking off there was too much chaff to cut through and tweets had become too fragmented to make a difference however when I saw that Jonathan Ross had got #MrsSlocomesPussy trending at the drop of a tweet that was too much.

I alerted Richard to the fact and his resulting tweet hit the spot. As I type #virgilioanderson is climbing the trending charts. Even more popular than Iran now!

Will we finally find him?

I am a sympathiser to Richard Herrings cause. I too have been subject to identity theft as has been detailed on this blog so I was more than happy to join in the man hunt to find the elusive Virgilio Anderson with the purchase of a t-shirt.

I thought I may as well go the full hog and on seeing a tweet from @Herring1967 about a new Virg-An track I thought it would make an excellent ringtone.

Still feeling that I could go that one step further I knocked up a couple of Virg-An wallpapers for my iPhone and thought I’d share for any other iPhone owners desperately seeking Virgilio.

I was quite happy with the new iPhone 3GS features like video and voice control. At least I could enjoy those without the effort that I have to put in with the Nike+

At least I’ve christened the new trainers.

I’ve often said that the additions to the iPhone in 3.0 and 3GS are so subtle you often struggle to list the new features when someone asks. It is usually the case that you end up using a new feature and then realise that it wasn’t there before. I think that’s kind of the point. It is organic development in the sense that it feels natural.

One that snuck in under my radar was Nike+ integration. I only spotted it while digging around in the Preferences. I’ve not used my Nike kit for a while having lost my old Nano (which was bought purely for the Nike+) to Emily when she lost her own iPod (again, kids eh).

I have a personal trainer who visits me weekly and has often criticised my old beat up trainers. I guess that this is a good excuse to get some new ones. I feel a trip to Decathlon coming up.
