If you're going to a house party, Spotify is awesome! Just pop your phone into a speaker and choose a playlist; With thousands of playlists from any and every genre, the possibilities are endless.

For party games HeadsUp is a really fun game, but be aware it brings out the competitive side in friends and is quite intense!

Apps
Glympse is a fast, free, and simple way to share your location in real time with who you want. Super handy for letting your friends know exactly when you’ll be at their place without having to call while you’re driving.

Homer App lets you find apps through your friends, and browse apps celebrities are using, but to download you need iOS 8.0 or later :(

Frontback.me does what it says on the tin - a platform to take a picture in the front and back of your iphone, and putting them together as one. So simple, yet so genius!

It's Big and Bold
Its a big watch - if your looking for discretion you wont find it here.  The curved display gives it an elegant look though, which gives a unisex look to it.  It is available in two colours - blue black, and white. The straps are adaptable to wrist size and comfortable to wear.  I would say its versatile - use at the gym, work, and everyday.


Usability
The great thing about the latest Samsung gadget is you're able to use it without your mobile phone to make calls (it has access to 2G ad 3G networks).  You can also connect online and receive all the latest app notifications. Although, if I did have one, I'm not sure whether I'd use it without a mobile. When I tried it on it felt quite strange, having a mobile on my wrist and the thought of making calls from it; especially as you would need to move it towards your mouth to speak and listen to calls, kind of like a speakerphone, which has no privacy. There is however a bluetooth headset you could use with it.  It is recommended you use it with a Samsung smartphone to ensure it works at its optimum level and for updates.  

Features
-Clear Touchscreen
-Over 1000 Apps available to use

For me, its a nice gadget, but is it going to change my life or is it going to be an additional peripheral to my notebook, tablet, mobile phone collection?

£329 - half price from Samsung when you buy latest Smartphone (Galaxy Note4 or GalaxyS5) or Tablet.
flic - a smart button you can use to do anything - from snapping photos, to making calls, to playing music, to snoozing your alarm! Push my buttons baby :p

Time to breathe it all out...If you've ever had a panic attack before, you know how frightening they can be...I've had a few, and they are horrible and can last about 20 mins, maybe less, maybe more.  So I was relieved to hear there is a newly launched game App called Flowy. 

Its a mobile game to relieve symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks.  There are lots of 'mindfulness' techniques to help with anxiety, but when you're stuck on a tube - they haven't done the trick for me before! So having a game, I'm hoping will be a great distraction.
Its great to see Apps being developed for social good.   It's available on Android now and should be available on iOS sometime December 2014

Its all about....Space Age.
Last year we had Gravity, this year it's Interstellar.  Interstellar take us on a trip to outer space, with plenty of mental and visual stimulation to inspire the senses.
A must-see movie!



If you've seen Interstellar than have a listen to Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson discuss the movie...He makes astronomy sound so sexy!


There is a great blog at The Science Museum that explains all the Astronomy stuff! Click this link on The Science of Interstellar for more information on Blackholes, Time Relativity, and Gravity - you never know it could inspire you to want to become a space explorer!


 Real Life Astronauts
Talking about space exploration, from living in a mud hut to orbiting the earth, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin manned the first spaceflight, just over 50 years ago April 12th 1961, when he flew aboard the Vostok I spacecraft, orbiting the Earth and returning safely after a journey of 108 minutes.

Dr. Mae Jemison was the first African American woman in space.
Mae Jemison is one of the leaders behind the 100 Year Starship project that aims to make interstellar travel (traveling beyond our solar system) possible within the next 100 years. She is also the first real astronaut to appear on Star Trek (TheNextGeneration season 6, ep. 24, if you’re interested).
