The first musical album that’s also a location aware iPhone app - (via TNW Apps)

D.C. band Bluebrain has composed a collection of tunes that change based on where you’re walking on the National Mall. Depending on the route you take, the app will alter to match your location.

Can’t wait to see how this experience plays out. Troubleshooting a music app that adjusts itself based on your GPS coordinates must have been a headache. What if you’re jogging? What if you’re in a car? 

I love their future plans as well; driving California’s Highway 1 to a custom soundtrack would rock.

Gift Rocketeering

The pleasant surprise of getting a GiftRocket got a bit bogged down in the hoops needed to claim that gift and to send anything back.

Loving this concept of the GiftRocket but found it ironic that I redeem my gift via PayPal yet cannot gift someone else with the same payment method. Perhaps that’s the plan down the road. Ideally GiftRocket would benefit from this – I’d be more apt to leave a balance in my PayPal account in order to easily GiftRocket back to my friend or pay it forward to another friend. Hopefully, you’re behind the curtains madly working on your next release!
