I already want a photo showreel with music [...]

Chris Brogan just highlighted this video post from Gary Vaynerchuk.

Can your phone do this?
Talk to me… so if the iPhone wasn’t hacked, cracked and genuinely pushed beyond the realms of its supposed purpose in life - this couldn’t of happened. May we all open our lives and platforms to invention and opportunity!!! It’s Friday, I’ve had a beer - bare with me and get [...]
