Our aim is to help you visualise how new buildings will look.

I of course had my camera with me to capture both cities. I put together a short movie.

I remember, each evening, right by the hotel I was staying at, there was a long line of people queuing up in the cold. The sort of queue you see for a night club or the launch of a new Game or Apple product. However there were no such thing at the front of the queue. It wasnt a gadget, it was also not for getting into a nightclub. It was for food. These stalls that are dotted around manhattan. The equivalent to kebab shops here in London. With the word Halal across the top in yellow and red the food smelled aromatic, but, like I mentioned earlier, they are dotted around the city, why was this one so popular? Who knows.

Another thing I recalled from my trip was how “alive” times square was, even during the early hours of the morning. The lights flashing, animating and advertising to anyone walking along its streets. So many boards and lights, why so many, well it is the city that never sleeps there is always someone who will see it.

Then there was Miami. All I will say about it is that…it is paradise. Back to reality, back to London.

MoMA as it is abbreviated aslo has a book store as one would expect. Naturally I was drawn to this shop like a fish to a worm on a hook. I purchased two books:

Vectorism: Vector Graphics Today

Contemporary Graphic Design.

Why did I want it so bad. Why not get an Android or an iPhone. Better yet, why not bow down to peer pressure and grab A BB. I chose A Windows Phone because I saw a phone that gets me.

I use facebook like its an extension of my life online, these days we all do. It’s How we communicate, how we plan get togethers and parties, how we say happy birthday, how we remember its their birthday, how we share videos or articles, its where we store and share our photos, its how we express who we are, how we show our appreciation for the things we love wether that be books or restaurants. I also like my Xbox – I am a gamer. Playing Halo online or getting engrossed in the science fiction universe via the novels. I also love my music, in the past I have used last.fm, spotify and Zune to get my tunes. Movies are also an interest of mine, whenever possible I make visiting the cinema at least once a month a routine. I watch movies on the Xbox and its High Definition and surroundsound. These are my interests my activities and the Windows Phone seemed to be the only phone that stood to enhance these activities let alone support them.

The Windows phone is tightly intergrated with facebook, you contacts pictures are pulled fromt their fb profile pic. Their status update shows next to their face on your phone and you can comment on it just like that, no need to jump into a seperate app. You can view their photos like they were already on your phone. I remember one time a friend of mine was puzzled when I was showing him and our friends pictures of an event he was describing, he said “how did you get my pictures?”. Little did he know that from the pictures hub on the windows phone one can look at all their own facebook photos, all their own skydrive photos as well as all the photos their friends have shared on facebook. All the albums are just there!

The gamer in me got excited when I learned that Xbox will be on the phone. I would be able to play a game on my phone and get achievments for playing that game just like on the Xbox. Being able to message friends, see what their doing on their consoles and compares game acheivements was a mind blowing prospect. Today you can do much more than that; any windows phone can control their xbox 360 just by touching their phones screen. It allows you to search all content on your Xbox, whether it be from Zune music, Zune Videos, Sky or Lovefilm. Then you can launch it, and control the play back of that movie or song from the touch of the screen. I mentioned Halo, well I think you should simply watch a demonstration of this app. I need not say more. With regards to the Novels, I read them on my phone using the Kindle App from the marketplace.

Zune, Spotify and Last.fm are all on my phone now. Though I stopped using Spotify and use Zune and last.fm I have never found a device so perfect for playing music. The only thing I will say is the gap between songs needs to be sorted out or an option to toggle made available apart from that It has to be the best exmple of having music on a phone.

I now have a HTC Titan. With it I can watch movies, music videos from Youtube or Vevo and play games on its HUGE screen. I do my groceries with the lovely Ocado app, look for inspiration with the ffffound app, browse the web and keep up with the latestes news on the BBC website. At night before I sleep, I plug my charger into the phone an fire up Kindle to continue reading Halo cryptum whilst reading a page or two of Frank Gardeners blood and sand.

As you may gather, I love my windows phone, I wouldn’t part with it. I never hesitate at the chance of showing off its features and educating others about this wonderful and easy to use smartphone. One thing I am extremely proud of is giving away my Trophy to a friend of mine. She had a phone that didnt have colour. It wasnt smart. It just called and text people. She was happy with it. But since I gave her my old phone she has been very pleased with it.

Promoting and sharing with others the joys of windows phones seems like an act of giving something back to Windows Phone, rewarding it for the joys it has given me. That is probably why I created Windows Phone Wallpapers for people to download on to their phones. Surprisingly This got noticed by people at Microsoft, what happened after that will be left to the second part of this post “Windows Phone – Wallpaper – Part 2″.

With the flurry of activity happening on the construction sites, it has come to light “pun not intended” that the cable car interior and exterior lighting will be designed and overseen by Speirs + Major and Mott McDonald as well as the architects . In a post on the Spiers + Major website dated september 2010 it explains creatively how they aim to light the gondola.

Love seeing the pics of the progress of the construction of the cable car. Why not keep our flickr group dedicated to getting the latest pics of london first cable car.

The new transport link between royal victoria docks and and the greenwich peninsular is taking shape. It is hoped that it will be completed by  summer in time for the London 2012 Olympics. A lot of visible progress has been made at the constructions sites which makes  the deadline seem achievable. From outside the North Greenwich construction site you can see the mechanism that will feed the cable for the emirates air line.

Theres a lot for me to blog about and upload. My portfolio will be uploaded, photos of my bike and the thames cycle route will be uploaded. Video reviews of phone apps including the absolutely brilliant ffffound app by RogueCode, the new Ocado app and city travel London by Martin Anderson, Michael Josiah and Levente Mihály.

I also have new Windows Phone wallpapers to share. One especially fitting for our current times, another one quite eerie looking. Oh and last but not least I am currently reader Halo Cryptum on my Kindle App, I am being pulled deeper in the the universe of halo. It is mind boggling to think that this story takes places millenias before the events of “halo”.

Ps, for Christmas i will be MIA, or should i say in MIA and NYK. Will take all my lenses with me and my fish eye!
