The freesound project is awesome. I can spend hours here just waltzing around the world listening to all the geotagged recordings of sounds in various places.
Definitely cool!

Spotify for Android
Now there is a spotify client both for the Android and for the iPhone. The client can also sync music for offline listening. This is such great news, I can bring my playlists from spotify where me wherever I go and listen anywhere as long as there is space on my memory card everything should be dandy.
The iPhone version apparently stops playing in the background something Apple demanded it should do, but on the Android background playing works GREAT so now I can strem music while I jog and can set up the playlist on my computer at home or pretty much everywhere and then just sync it with my phone.
So now the phone not only tracks my workout times and distance using the GPS, it also plays the music to my mood and this is something I have been waiting for some time now.
Time to become a premium member, the ad-financed version of spotify does not cover the mobile version but I don’t care. 99 SEK for a month is nothing compared to the joy it is bringing…
Dying hard disk sounds
This has nothing to do with photography per see but I thought I’d share this link anyway. The link goes to a data recovery centre where you can listen to various types, brands and models of harddisks and how they sound when they have died.
