I've long been a sucker for a nice relaxing facial, even though I wish the therapists would stop promising that if I buy their particular brand of voodoo cream my face will become 20% more beautiful (and that if I don't spend £90 on the eco-friendly oil they've had shipped over from Australia I'm … [Read more...]
Dork review: Pzizz for iPhone roadtest – day 1
I chose to nap when I got home from work - some US corporations have adopted a nap-friendly policy to boost productivity, but if I tried catching 40 winks at my desk here in London I'd be out on my ear.

Stop wearing those cheap headphones!
When I was little my sister and I were given our first walkman. It came with some 80s style headphones - the ones with the metal hairband and the fuzz-covered speakers that neither covered your ears like cans or latched on like earbuds. The sort that are probably due an ironic revival any day now … [Read more...]
Dork Review: Black & Decker Flexi Hand Vac
