This is about making stuff on the move.

Really, what in the gaps between doing other things? No not really, this is about making stuff on the move the big thing you are doing, destinations are now out of fashion.

So what are these big things you are going to do on the move - well one might be to paint a picture, maybe a landscape, with your finger, building up and blending the colours - but on your iPhone, you're not Ruskin, you're a first world digi-painter using 'brushes' a lovely app that is going to slow your rush down.

Brushes captures your every mark and then you can watch the film of you painting and of course upload it right away. The New Yorker loves it and have commissioned Jorge Colombo to provide one New York scene a week.

What else might you do - what if your finger painting just ain't digital? Well, why not help out on the universal campaign to digitise our entire existence, point by point. This is where the iPhone app called audioBoo becomes your tool. Wherever you are, there will be a sound that needs capturing, a photo that needs taking (to lend your sound some pixels) and a location that will need fixing with your GPS. And now you can grab all three, bundle them together from wherever you are, and place them on the audioBoo website, a universal library of beautifully severed moments.

Two great ways to make your in-between moments more permanent, more searchable, more aggregatable.
