iOS7 Control Center icons on Sketch App

Control Center is the most requested feature on iOS and I’m so delighted to see that it will be available on iOS7. So I decided to re-create it on Sketch App for your mock up needs. They are free to use but please do not distribute them as your own and always link it back here if you want to share them to your friends. Enjoy!

You can download the icons here.

How I keep track of my vinyl records

I don’t have a really big collection of vinyl records yet but as of now I am starting to keep track of each so I won’t have to worry about it when it becomes big and unmanageable. It’s so easy to lose track of what you have when your collection starts pushing into a hundred. Right now we only have about 52 albums in our collection. It grew up so fast since we bought our first player 1 last year. We buy new stuff and old stuff ranging from 60’s up to the present. When you listen to different range of music and different era, this is just a very small collection to what I have stored in my iTunes.

Enter Delicious Library 3 by Delicious Monster. It’s a Mac app that catalouges your physical collection. It may be you books, DVDs, Blu-Rays, Audio CD, vinyl records, toys and even your shirt collection. If you’re someone who has over a hundred of physical items in your collection this app comes in handy so you wouldn’t have to buy a second copy by mistake2. It also serve as a way to track loaned items so you don’t have to worry about who borrowed which item. What I love about this new upgrade is that I can now use my iPhone to scan barcodes of my item and it sync directly to the app making it easier to scan multiple items. It also have a handy chart that it generates depending on your items, giving you a list of what your collection’s value and how much you paid for it making it easy for you to also sell your items online or get a complete value of all of the items for insurance purposes.

The only sad part about the app is that it only connects thru Amazon’s database. For vinyl collectors, Amazon is not a really good source for old and rare vinyls. Scanning barcodes also won’t work if your vinyl is locally pressed outside the US3. I would really love it more if they would add more comprehensive database for music such as Discog. I just hope that the devs would actively add other sources as it was the most requested feature since version 1. But right now, this is the system that I used and it’s also the system I’ve been using for ten years to keep track of my books, DVDs and Audio CD. So I still highly recommend this app for collectors out there. Keeping an excel sheet of all your physical items is not the way to go.

Also, If you’re planning to start your own collection or buy your very first player, head to Satchmi website. They have a wide variety of LPs that covers multiple genres. They also sell they own portable player called The Motorino.

You can check out my collection here conveniently published thru the Delicious Library app.

sometimes changing source from Amazon US to UK to JPN will yield you a result but for items not available in Amazon you’ll have to manually inout it. ↩

Mutator, The complete mute solution for your iPhone.

We all know that the mute switch on the iPhone doesn’t really mute all the sound on your iPhone. Most of the time it’s a blessing as it doesn’t mute your alarm or other important stuff. But sometimes, you wish it would just work as a real mute switch.

Enter Mutator, a real solution to your iPhone mute problem with a nice sleek look. You can back up the project on Kickstarter if you want one.

MouStand - lower expectation you have, the happier you’ll be

Seems like a very good deal for $116 for a 4 iPhone/iPad stand. Made with aersopace Magnesium Aluminum Alloy. Best thing about the product description is how it tries to lower our expectation.

>  Before buy, please note this product is NOT perfect since it’s half handmade, there might be tiny scratch/defect and that’s quite normal. The production quality definitely can’t compare with big companies such as Apple. If Apple’s production quality defines “good”, my production quality defines “bad”. But this is the best I can achieve with my limited resources. The lower expectation you have, the happier you’ll be.

I love this small little details that people describe their product as more and more people are creating hand-made product. I don’t find scratches or minor defect on my devices as a bad thing. All my devices has no protective case, I see scratches or wear and tear as a normal as it makes the device aged beautifully.
