Are you on Soundwave yet?

I can’t believe that I have been sleeping on this app for so long.

The Soundwave app was backed by Mark Cuban as long as June 2013! The app basically tracks the listening habits of your friends, yourself and those that follow you on the app. This information is then stored on the website and attached to the various user accounts.

So, I can see what my friends are listening to and I can see how they feel about the things they’re listening to by going through their comments on the songs. The app has recently evolved from merely being on the mobile platform to now being on the Chrome platform- which allows for access of the app on your desktop/laptop.

This app does, however, leave me with an unanswered question: so, you know what i am listening to. You know how I feel about the song. Are you going to start listening to it now? Is that the ‘goal’?

I feel as though, there is a “download” button missing on the app though. But we’ll leave that for the record executives to figure out.

Speakers at the Tippy-Top

“One night this past fall, the three were in Walker’s room discussing ideas and music. Thompson was surfing Kickstarter for inspiration, while Walker sat at his desk; Brody lay on the floor looking up at the ceiling, when using the corners of the room struck him. They held the speaker up to the corner to test the sound and loved it.”

This startup launched some time ago and has recently caught my minimalist eye.

Space is such an interesting concepts once you truly try and realize its potential. We normally look at unoccupied rooms as empty. But really they’re just filled with limitless potential, especially if you have a purpose.

In this case, I was thinking about my bedroom/office at home. Currently, my set-up doesn’t really have any shock-appeal but it works- for me. I’m a writer. That’s what I love doing. Creating a world of possibilities and truths through words; so all I really need is a desk big enough to accommodate my netbook and the occasional pad and pen.

The space stills feels major cluttered though. And it’s because of my cheaper-than-cheap laptop speakers that are just too big considering the fact that the best that they can possibly do is whisper VERY LOUDLY.

The TipTop speakers, however, utilize the ceiling corners which normally conjure up spider webs and give them a sound purpose. Taking advantage of room gain, “these speakers use the natural acoustics of a room to make the sound richer and more appealing”.
