Impossible? Not any more! The Readius from Polymer Vision is set to be just that impossible device!

Sniffle…cough…splutter

January 19th, 2008 · No Comments

Apolgies for the lack of posts over the last few days. I, along with much of England have been suffering from a really bad headcold, and it’s been painful to even look at a computer, much less concentrate and write!

Browsing around Firebox.com today, I saw something that I just had to look into further, as it seemed like one of those “too good to be true” stories. The makers claim that this kettle can heat water, from cold to tea making, in three seconds. Think about that for a second (or three…). By the […]

Joe’s Goals - make those resolutions happen!

January 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

Along with at least half the western hemisphere, I made a number of New Year’s Resolutions the other day. Now I will be the first to admit that I am not necessarily the best person at keeping to such promises, but I always make them with the very best of intentions, determined that “this year […]

Happy New Year! and Bycygnals to you all!

January 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

On Tech For Life I am trying to concentrate on technology or gadgets (and the odd lifehack) that are not only desirable, but actually useful. Browsing the web at work today (Lunchtime…honest!) I found this, perhaps the single best gadget for a bycicle I have ever seen.
