Moving In...

So I'm at the moving in process for my new blog and my first question is about software! I am a big lover of my MacBook Pro/iPhone 4, so what is the best software out there for updating this damn thing from them? Ideally the software for the MacBook would be free, but I don't mind paying a little for the iPhone app - I'm not a complete cheap skate!

Anyway time for me to go find some interesting content for this place!

Hello!

Welcome to my blog - I'm quite new to all this blogging malarky so if you have stumbled across here please do bare with me!

I'm hoping to update the blog fairly regularly with a variety of things noise related, mainly in the world of music but from time to time other things may crop up!
