What can you do in 30 days? 0

[Video link] By now you probably know the story. I started this year by deciding I was going to do 30-day resolutions, rather than make a single new year’s resolution that had to last a whole year. Inspired by an act of generosity by Derek Sivers, I decided that one of those projects would be [...]

Bandcamp du jour: a retrospective 30-day project 3

A month ago, I started recommending music I found on Bandcamp here on my blog. I also started a sort of metalabel at my own Bandcamp page. I called it Bandcamp du jour. You may have seen some of it already. I profiled some music by friends of mine, some music that was thematically linked [...]

Another 30 day project: No Facebook 2

Not content with having deleted my MySpace account last week, I’ve just deactivated my Facebook account. That doesn’t mean I’ve deleted it – it just means that it’s not currently active. Everything can be retrieved at a later stage, and I’ll still be friends with all the same people when/if I do return. It’s just [...]

30 days of… guitar practice (and lessons) 3

I’ve been thinking about what to do for my next 30 day project, and I’ve come up with this: practice the guitar every day for 30 days in a row. Along the way I’m going to try and learn some songs – and there are plenty of great tutorials online (including this fantastic site by [...]

30 days of ideas – 30: House of Spare Ideas 1

nataliedee.com Today’s idea… the last in this series of 30 days of ideas is (wait for it): more ideas. But not just my spare ideas – everyone’s. My idea is for a website where people submit their ideas for others to pick up and run with. And the deal is as it is here: no [...]

30 days of ideas – 29: ‘Now Playing’ social music app 2

This is a rough mockup. Clearly it would be better than this. I don’t know if I’m a typical Last.fm user, but I’m pretty sure I’m using it wrongly, according to what they probably have in mind. For a start, I never, ever use it for listening to music – and nor do I use [...]

30 days of ideas – 28: Charity shop clothing subscription 4

Photo by brooklyn Today’s idea is about shopping for clothes at thrift stores or charity shops. There’s some great stuff out there, if you know where to look and how to look – and as long as they’ve got something in your size, you can grab a real bargain, construct a unique look that suits [...]

30 days of ideas – 27: Tamagotchi Gardening 3

Photo by aidanbrooks Today’s idea is a terribly simple one – so much so, I’m astonished nobody else seems to have thought of it: Tamagotchi Gardening. Instead of looking after a pet, you tend a garden. Dig it over, choose what to plant, care for it, water it, and reap the rewards. But it’s not [...]
