Sync your iPhone with Google Calendar in a Few Simple Steps

I’ve been trying for quite some time now getting my iPhone’s default calendar application to sync up with Google Calendar, which is my calendar of choice. I’ve understood this isn’t that hard to achieve for anyone using a Mac, but being a Windows-user it appeared to be more difficult, especially since I don’t use Outlook either. I’ve searched and searched for a simple solution without any luck, up until I came across a perfect solution to the problem: NuevaSync.

NuevaSync is free, extremely simple and works like a charm, no software needed. I signed up, logged in, set up my iPhone in a few simple steps (by following the simple instructions provided on their website after you’ve logged in) and BAM, my iPhone’s calendar was packed with all the dates and events from all my Google calendars. It enables direct, over-the-air, native synchronization, and whenever you add a new event to your calendar it’s updated automatically. Even if you’re already using iCal, this solution is incredibly simple and effective and I recommend it to anyone who’s interested in having Google Calendar and your iPhone in sync.

Audio Production in 5.1 Surround

I’ve recently acquired a full 5.1 Surround system which I’m playing around with. For those not familiar with the term, here’s a short introduction:

A multichannel sound technology that produces five channels of sound in the left, right, center, left surround and right surround positions. 5.1 systems also have 1 channel for LFE (low frequency effects) which is usually sent to a subwoofer. (from webopedia)

Simply put, you get a much richer 360° experience when producing audio. This is not only a lot of fun, but really takes it to the next level in terms of making music or sounds for any project where there’s a 5.1 system available for playback, and is something I’m hoping we’ll get to put to use soon. For instance, the new TrondheimSoloists album Divertimenti, released on Blu-ray (the world’s first music Blu-ray actually), utilizes this technology and it’s safe to say more will be released in the future.

Check out www.umfeld.tv to witness an intense 5.1 project – and make sure you’re not using tiny laptop speakers when hearing this :)

The Smell-phone

I’m not quite sure who would actually want this; but the technology sounds interesting enough:

When words just aren’t enough, German technology developers think they may have just what everyone needs: a smell-phone. [...] People could send the smell of the ocean breeze through cell phones from vacation spots or mark special occasions by sending an aromatic two-dimensional bouquet.
