Who are you and what do you do?

At The Sweet Setup:

Every week we try to post a new interview with someone about what software they use on their Mac, iPhone, or iPad. We do these interviews because not only are they fun, but a glimpse into what tools someone uses and how they use those tools can spark our imagination and give us an idea or insight into how we can do things better.

Today’s victim, er, interviewee:

My name is Steven Taylor, and I run a creative agency in Macclesfield, UK called adomedia. We do everything from branding and web apps to traditional design services.

I largely specialise in Digital Transformation and cover all the project management and client-facing elements of the business.

In addition to that, in my minimal free time, I play bass in The Christophers, The Fields & The Steve Delight Travelling Blues Orchestra, which keeps me pretty busy. I use iOS devices for all my audio processing both live and in the studio.

10 awesome iPhone apps

Zach Epstein, over on BGR, has a bad habit of posting lists of cool iPhone/iPad(/iPod Touch) apps that are temporarily free.

Here’s the fine print:

These are paid iPhone and iPad apps that have been made available for free for a limited time by their developers. There is no way to tell how long they will be free. These sales could end an hour from now or a week from now – obviously, the only thing we can guarantee is that they were free at the time this post was written. If you click on a link and see a price listed next to an app instead of the word “get”, it is no longer free. The sale has ended. If you download the app, you will be charged.
