Wireless Solar Speaker

Saturday, October 21st, 2006

My initial reaction to this was, surely this would be as much use as a solar powered torch what sun are you going to get in your living room? But then it dawned on me just how useful this gadget could be (a bit slow I know).

Magical mittens

Wednesday, October 18th, 2006

There’s nothing worse than trying to work on a computer when it’s freezing cold. Not only can your brain start to slowly shut down but it’s next to useless trying to type when your hands feel like they are stuck in blocks of ice.

Ok, so we know the iPod accessory craze has been taken perhaps a smidgen too far. We’ve had everything from boxer shorts with a special pouch, in which your iPod fits snugly, to a wallet with a built-in section for your iPod Nano and even a toilet roll dispenser with an iPod dock so you [...]

The front half of the car is still in tact, but it looks like the [...]

If you try and sweat it out at the gym most weeks or are even partial to the odd jog, you’ll probably know what a difference it can make if you’re listening to music. Whether you’ve got a trendy iPod strapped securely to your arm or you’re happy to keep your mitts clamped tightly around [...]

I remember these from years ago. Little bean-type things jumping and bouncing around the table top for no apparent reason used to keep me entertained for hours.

“Euuuw” is all I can say about that! [...]
