AnchorFM

by Andrew, posted in Equipment, Tech, Tips

I came across and interesting iOS application last week for creating and distributing podcasts easily across all major platforms including iTunes, Google Podcasts & Spotify.

It’s called AnchorFM and is available for free on all iOS devices. It has an easy way for recording segments, transition music and getting listeners to call-in. The quality seems pretty reasonable, though an external microphone would still help.

There is even the option to do it through a web browser at http://anchor.fm

It’s worth checking out if your a little interested in creating your on podcast, maybe I’ll do one soon! Oh, and its free to distribute!

Here is the link incase you’re interested.

 

 

La La Falls

by Andrew, posted in Melbourne, Travel, Victoria

At the moment I’ve been sick with a bug I picked up, so on days like these I like to rug up and head into nature.

Today I went to La La falls in Yarra State forest. Checkout my short video and pictures below about it!

Welcome to the UK

by Andrew, posted in Englad, London, Travel

Ash and I have come across to Europe for our honeymoon, we had in fact had this holiday booked over a year ago so it kinda worked out!

For our first few days we stayed in London, we spent some time in the city exploring the sights and sounds and just walking around taking everything in. Continue reading “Welcome to the UK” →

90-Mile Stars

by Andrew, posted in Equipment, Gippsland, Journey, Travel

I’ve always had an interest in space and astronomy, there is something I find quite interesting in seeing and understanding something that is bigger and older than us all. I recently finished a Post Grad certificate in astronomy for the purpose of just extending my own knowledge. Continue reading “90-Mile Stars” →

Guide to using a Chromecast as digital signage

by Andrew, posted in Equipment, Teaching, Tech, Tips

I just wanted to share something I stumbled across. At school we have an old TV with a custom computer attached that is running some digital signage software. However, this software is terrible, clunky and not user-friendly at all. It creates too much work.

Free to Feed

by Andrew, posted in How To, Journey, Melbourne, Victoria

This year I was unsure what to do for Ash’s birthday, I was searching and searching for an experience to do. Finally, I found it! A cooking class, but this was no ordinary cooking class; it was one run by refugees. The company was Free to Feed and is a non-for-profit run here in Melbourne to help set up refugees and asylum seekers with jobs.

There were choices about what type of cuisine you preferred, so as we eat a lot of curries I picked Sri Lankan.

The evening was run by a refugee named Niro who travelled for 3 weeks on a boat, ended up in detention centres on Christmas Island & in Melbourne to finally be here taking this class. His story was incredible but his happiness and positivity was something amazing.

He taught us to cook a few meals from Sri Lanka (his own recipes), the best part was at the end of the night we all sat down and shared the meal.

The pictures below speak for themselves. If you interested checked out their website and facebook page.

Winter is coming has come! Normally we’ll head to Mt Donna Buang, but this time we want to take Poppy (our Pug). So after a bit of googling, I discovered Mount Maraget (half way between Marysville & Buxton (maps link), this hidden gem is amazing.
