You're either a camping fan or you're not. For some, the idea of getting in touch with nature, sleeping under the stars and cooking over a stove is a little slice of heaven. For others, the idea of sleeping anywhere other than a comfy bed with an en suite is horrifying. Prepare to have your mind … [Read more...]
Doctor Who: The Pandorica Opens review
A few weeks back whilst reviewing the first half of the Silurian two-parter, I slipped in some smartarse about how it’s unfair to review the first part of such storylines on their own. I found myself thinking that again, rather more seriously, whilst watching The Pandorica Opens, the beginning of … [Read more...]
iPhone App Magnets
A little while ago, we did a piece on gorgeous looking fridges. The featured white goods really were aesthetically pleasing, but I think I've found just the thing to really ramp up the dork factor. iPhone app magnets. That's right, you can replicate the interface of your mobile onto the open … [Read more...]
Four pretty personal alarms
Personal alarms are now an essential item to add to your handbag on a night out. These pocket sized alarms can deter potential attackers, and give you peace of mind if you have to travel home alone on a night out. But, on a superficial level, they often look quite....dull.

Dork Review: Olympus Tough-6020
Digital cameras aimed at the sports market often resort to bulky designs and a lack of effort towards anything resembling style. Step forward Olympus and the Tough-6020.

For those who watched Third Rock From The Sun or Mork & Mindy, this may seem eerily familiar. Still, … [Read more...]
Doctor Who Adventure Games: City Of The Daleks review
As if a whole new series of Doctor Who wasn’t enough value for your licence fee, the Beeb is also ladling out free video games this year.

iPad lessons – one week in
Having gone public on my complete bafflement as to what the iPad was supposed to be, it took only 23 hours post-launch for me to find myself in the Apple shop willing to part with proper amounts of cash for one. And I can’t help it - I frickin’ love it. But you're definitely a more considered … [Read more...]
Trafficmaster International Rescue SmartNav: Review
Sat Navs are there purely to help you find your way to your destination, whilst alerting you of the occasional speed camera, right? Not according to Trafficmaster. Their International Rescue iPhone application teams a navigation system with a real life personal assistant who can help you out … [Read more...]
Wishpot: A new online shopping tool
As a certified shopaholic, there's nothing I like more than scouring the online stores for the perfect dress/gadget/craft item. But when it comes to buying for others, I become a stressed-out crazy lady. What if they don't like it? What if I haven't spent enough? What if it's too big/small? A … [Read more...]
