Hey Geeks,
This post is a few weeks late but I wanted to let everyone know the exciting new things I’ve been up to ( in case you don’t follow me on Twitter / Facebook ).
For those of you who weren’t aware, Cali Lewis, formally the host of GeekBrief.TV launched a new site & show called GeekBeat.TV, an awesome place to find current gadgets, tech news and anything compelling to geeks.
Cali’s new show is part of the Revision3 network, a television network for the web that has brought us sweet shows like Diggnation and Tekzilla.
I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve recently joined the GeekBeat.TV team. I’ve been a fan of Cali for a long time so it’s a huge honour to have been picked. Check out the entire GeekBeat.TV team , they’re a hella fun group.
Cali has now launched a free mobile app (itunes link), so users can keep up to date with GeekBeat.TV episodes on the go. Users who upgrade will receive behind the scenes videos, the past episode catalog, TV appearances, mobile wallpapers and push notifications.
Come hang out with me at GeekBeat.TV and check out my latest GeekBeat.TV posts.

Moving Tales brings The Pedlar Lady of Gushing Cross to the iPad in a stunning revival of an old tale.
What is like to be a kid in 2010?
We started Moving Tales to expand and explore storytelling on the iPad platform. Not just any stories, but tales with rich legacies, many of which have been told for millennia. We are taking these stories for a walk – rephrasing and reframing them in a way that is compelling and appropriate to this new platform. Although they have aspects of books, animated films, storytelling and interactive media, the result is greater than the sum of its parts. Our very bold intention is to develop the first great iPad storybook app. –Matthew Talbot-Kelly, Founder, Producer and Director of Moving Tales

This does not make me feel better about flying.
Metaio the company that launched the Junaio AR browser last November, have recently made a few very interesting announcements — image recognition, tracking and a mobile development kit.
This has just been made possible on the iPhone with the release of the iPhone’s new OS, developers now have access to the camera’s API and live camera data opening the gates of possibility for things like 3D animations overlaid in your augmented reality browser.
Previously, using this type of reality browser (with only GPS data), you’d typically see information in form of an icon overlaid on the screen. As a quick example, if you were viewing a monument and fired up your AR browser, you’d likely see the Wikipedia icon pop-up on the screen with an option to “read more” on Wikipedia.… Continue Reading
