Since the Apple vs Android war has officially kicked off, I'd like to pledge my allegiance to Android. I've yet to get my paws on the newest generation of phones, but I'm an avid Google fan and the idea of buying an iPhone leaves me feeling a little blah. After checking out what's currently on … [Read more...]
Wall decals and stickers for geek-friendly decorating
Redecorating our kitchen recently, I vowed to find an easier way to give a room a facelift without resorting to hours of slopping on paint and varnishing every nook and cranny. Wall decals seem to be a much cheaper and easier option. The Barcode wall sticker (Rockett St George, £39.95) on the … [Read more...]
Will the world end in 2012?
2009 entertainment so far seems to be focused on time bending and the disasters that are waiting in the wings of the near future. New series FlashForward plays around with the idea of a loss of time, and BBC drama Paradox looks at what happens if you can see a disaster occurring, before it actually … [Read more...]
Geek TV: Shows to get you through winter
Amongst the many reasons why I love this colder time of year (and most of them involve stodgy food of some kind) is the brilliant range of TV shows lined up.

Regretsy: The good, the bad, and the seriously ugly
Etsy is full of some amazing items. Handmade jewellery, pretty kidswear, and intricate home furnishings. It's also got some awesome crap. So much crap that there's an entire website dedicated to it. Regretsy brings a regular dose of the weird, creepy and mildly perverted from Etsy. Take the … [Read more...]

For anyone who buys items from the USA regularly, you'll know there can be a bit of a sting when you get to the checkout and discover you've been saddled with a big shipping bill. We've already covered the costs of buying from the USA, but it would seem there's a new solution to those shipping … [Read more...]
Pasante Halo Condoms. Visually pleasing prophylactics
The contraception market is seriously lacking in decent-looking condoms. Admittedly, it's not the most exciting thing to use, but it's pretty essential for obvious reasons. I came across these Pasante Halo Condoms from LoveHoney a while ago. Each pack comes with 18 individually designed condoms. … [Read more...]
Dork Review: Vlingo voice-to-text service
Voice activated functions on mobile phones are by no means a new development, and on my phone they tend to be sorely under-used. In all honesty, I'm far too self-concious to sit on a train and shout "call home" into my phone. Almost as bad as those people that insist on using their wireless … [Read more...]
Nintendo Wii’s Baby and Me: creepy virtual doll game
I recently sold my Wii after months of it sitting next to the TV gathering dust. Great console, but it just didn't get enough usage.
