This Week: The Music of Serena Matthews

This is a very special week for Weekly Mobile Goodies - for two reasons:

1) The mobile site has been moved to a long-term home:

The new address: http://weeklymg.com/wml
Most recent phones can leave out the '/wml' at the end and just go to: http://weeklymg.com

2) The new site provides the opportunity to provide more advanced content than just images, and this week we kick off the new site with some excellent music.

It's a very exciting honor for me and this site to be allowed to offer you in 4 different file formats the music of critically acclaimed Lost Cat Records recording artist Serena Matthews. If you haven't heard Serena's songs, you should. She accomplishes more with just a guitar and her voice than many performers can with a large band and fancy studio production. She's a modern, talented songwriter, but there's something about her music which evokes the Appalachia of a bygone era.

You can find the 3 songs offered this week, plus details about the 4 different formats in which it's offered, on this page.

Note that these songs are under copyright and are not offered under the Creative Commons license, but they are made available here free of charge.

Java Games and Applications

Happy New Year. There are some exciting plans ahead for Weekly Mobile Goodies in 2007. For the moment, I'm struggling to find the time to sort out technical issues for the big changes ahead, so this week instead of the usual photos, I give you a link where you can get some very impressive-looking mobile goodies for free. These goodies require a fairly advanced phone with Java support. The link, for both mobile devices and browsers, is http://mobile.java.com.

Disclaimer: There is no afiliation between Weekly Mobile Goodies and java.com, and this blog makes no guarantees about the quality of what you'll find there.
