Duckhouse Productions

I have decided to co-run this blog as a division of Duckhouse Productions, Duckhouse Apps, with my good friend Alex Forey. This will make iPhone and iPad apps for the iTunes app store, and our first will be released within a couple of weeks. However, Alex and I are currently in discussion over whether Tasteful Technology should be taken over by Duckhouse Productions, or whether it should be kept separate. Alternatively, it could be merged with Alex's film-making blog, Film and Stuff at www.filmandstuff.co.uk (The link doesn't yet work- Alex only bought the domain two days ago).

In-Ear Headphones!


In-ear headphones are really useful for me- I'm too lazy to lug around
Beats on my neck, and they certainly don't fit in my pocket!
These are my favourite in-ear headphones!
