Tech Paradise 2012 – Day 1

So as most of you will know I won the Tech Paradise competition last week and I said I would post about our adventures.
We were picked up in a snazzy white Limo from my place and we were all so excited we almost forgot to pop the champaign that was given to us!
Upon arrival we were greated by the organisers and we were put to hard work with photoshoots and video retakes. Now I know how models and actors must feel but of course we were living the dream and felt like celebraties.
We were shown around the house and got given the lay down of the rules and I must say one thing. The pictures you see do NOT do it justice. You have to be here to exprience the awesomeness of the place. We each received an awesome goodie back with some kick ass stuff in it.
You are all wondering where is the tech! I was saving the best for last folks!
Now picture this
one part of the room has a 2 X 42″ led screens both hooked up to xboxes with guitar hero and the Xbox steering wheels.
Another part has a 42″ led with the ps3 or Xbox or Dstv pvr hooked up to it.
Then another part has a 52″ led with the Xbox kinetic.
Downstairs is a 52″ led with the wii hooked up.
Games, DVDs, blurays you name your poison it is there!
We had a forza 4 competition and whoever clocked the fastest time would win a prize. We each in the end got a kick ass tablet which I am currently writing this post from.
We drank beer ate food and basically jammed forza, tekken, cricket, football, guitar hero and even watched some insane IPL.
oh almost forgot about Starship Troopers and Face/Off we watched too.
I would love to post pics on my blog but unfortunately I do not have anything to copy the photos from my phone onto so I will have to do the pics on twitter/Facebook. Video will be up soon too from yesterday so keep your eyes peeled!
The folks at Chaos Computers put up an album on their Facebook page. I will post the link below.
Keep watching their Facebook page for updates aswell as join us on twitter with the hashtag #techparadise2012

Are you making the most of your iPad?
If you are into technology, maybe you own one of the new iPads or you attend gadget shows, then you are sure to enjoy reading about some of the best iPad apps about.
One of the iPad’s selling points is its huge, crystal-clear screen. Not only does it make everything look sharp and clear, but the large screen has many other advantages too. You are able to appreciate the finest details in fantastic photography, as well as browse through the internet effortlessly and not have to squint at small print or zoom into a webpage like you might have to do on a small cellphone screen. If you only use your iPad to browse sites like Facebook or visit Party Poker then you’re not making the most of your screen. If you want to get the most out of your iPad then below are two great apps which you might be interested in.
Sketchbook Pro
Sketchbook Pro is a professional-grade paint and drawing application which is perfect for creative and artistic people. With SketchBook Pro you can choose from a complete set of sketching and painting tools, which allows you to transform your doodles and sketches into pieces of art. This app converts your iPad into the ultimate digital sketch pad where you can draw, edit, import photos, merge layers and more. And once you’re finished, you can save your work and upload it to Facebook and show it off to your friends.
Beatwave
If you love music then you are sure to have fun composing your own funky tunes on Beatwave. You create and edit your melody using the integrated Tenori-On-style synth. In a nutshell, you are able to build melodies by placing blocks of sound onto a specially designed music grid. If you’re quite nifty with your music skills, you can build several layers to compose complex melodies. Once you’ve composed something you’re proud of, you can compress it down and e-mail it to a friend and see what they think.
