iPhone music for kids piano application - Baby Grand

My very good friend Stuart Sharpe has just got his very own iPhone application stocked on the iTunes store. It's called Baby Grand.

He started off writing it for his 3 year old daughter after realising that other applications had too many buttons etc and young children were getting lost when using such 'games'.

So he set about writing his own and it's a brilliant piece of an application.

Basically, you get 6 nursery rhymes that you can set to play and the keys light up as the tune is played. There's also an accompanying lyrics bar so you can sing along too.

Then you can try playing the tune yourself or any old tune you like - the piano keys still light up when pressed.

You can read all about it here:

The six nursery rhymes are:
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Row row row your boat
Here we go round the mulberry bush
There's a hole in my bucket
The wheels on the bus
Half a pound of tuppenny rice

Nice one Stuart! Wishing you great success from everyone at the Fabulous Photo Gifts office.

kettles, boilers and the absent adsl

Sorry if we didn't reply to your photo gift enquiry straight-away yesterday.... we had a spot of local trouble.

Firstly, the office kettle decided it was going to flip its lid - literally - as the lid parted from the kettle during first brew of the day. Not a good start!

Then came news from home that the central heating boiler had packed up - engineers booked for Saturday teatime (the earliest they can make it from Eon).

You'd think a day couldn't get much worse right? Well it did in typical fashion later on when we lost our adsl connection with the outside world, affecting everyday email enquiries but NOT any photo gift orders placed - we must stress that!.

So one replacement kettle later, we can at least enjoy a warm drink,even if we can't get warm.

I suppose we could all sit around the lit lighter on the iPhone myLite application....

Adsl is back up and working now so we'll be getting right back to you with your personalised photo gift enquiries. Thank you for your patience.
