My name is Erik Mallinson. I draw pictures, make music, and some other stuff. I like playing the ‘ukulele, riding my scooter around Boston, and playing board games.
Follow me on Twitter (@erima) if you’re into that sort of thing.

I could power the eastern seaboard with my aquarium if I had one of these.

Korg iElectribe ($10) - a software version of the drum machine I own. I thought about selling my drum machine to buy an iPad but this makes the decision so much easier!

The Bloom box→
Am I the only one envisioning giant robots?
The Bloom box is a new kind of fuel cell that produces electricity by combining oxygen in the air with any fuel source, such as natural gas, bio-gas, and solar energy. Sridhar said the chemical reaction is efficient and clean, creating energy without burning or combustion. He said that two Bloom boxes - each the size of a grapefruit - could wirelessly power a US home, fully replacing the power grid; one box could power a European home, and two or three Asian homes could share a single box.

iPhone apps I’d love to use as they are on the iPad
With the iPad announcement that iPhone apps will work immediately I got thinking about which apps I’d love to use as-is on an iPad:
- WriteRoom and presumably Taskpaper when it’s out
- Beatmaker – giant drum pad sampler!
- SunVox
- Jasuto – processing speeds will greatly enhance my enjoyment of this app
- Bleep!Box - a real size virtual drum machine!
That said, if I own and iPhone and an iPad I’d expect there to be some method of exchanging files between the two. Hopefully Apple’s recent move to force ioLibrary out of Amidio’s apps better points coming down the line.
PS - I think my desire to buy the $800 Teenage Engineering OP-1 just died.
