Loves & Hates

  • Loved OXO cord catch
    I love www.oxo.com me. Not much chance of them making something that wouldn’t appeal to me, but some things are even more appealing than others! ;) The beauty of the cord catch is how it’s just so simple. I mean it’s...
  • Hated Queues
    Well ok of course I hate queues - who doesn't? But I have spent a lot of time travelling recently, and I particularly hate airport security queues (I hit a record at Dulles Airport, Washington recently at 90 mins -...
  • Loved Checkwriting platform
    Nice to see thought given to wheelchair users in the design of this check out counter in Wholefoods in the US. Not the most high tech or attractive, but I imagine it does the job. No user testing though from...
  • Loved Spudski
    Top notch OXO Good Grips like easy to grip handle, looks flash and has an ace name. What's not to like?? Check it out on Pedlars' website http://www.pedlars.co.uk/page_2166.html...

  • Loved Dragon Dictate iPhone App
    Not normally a fan of dictation (either the actual doing it or the quality of the outcomes) but saw this in action and was amazingly simple and accurate. Perfect dictation in fact. Very impressed. You can download it at http://www.dragonmobileapps.com...

  • Commented on LBO Light Touch projector
    Thanks for the feedback Ricky - am sure you're right giving it some more thought and, as you say, based on using my iPod Touch. I can imagine it working quite well in tricky situations when you can't carry a...
  • Commented on LBO Light Touch projector
    From @vivan on Twitter: "These have existed for years - I've tried them, they aren't very good and slow down typing massively (no resting fingers). http://bit.ly/6SloiU As I recall they were featured on an episode of Law & Order (or...

  • Reviewed Saucony running shoes to Reviews
    I had them recommended to me by the shop 'Run and Become' in London as they prevent my ankle rolling outwards slightly when it lands. They do the job well....
  • Reviewed Nintendo Wii to Reviews
    Just the best. Fun, energetic and the Wii controller is low impact compared to some of the other consoles where your thumbs and arms can ache very quickly....
  • Reviewed Philips in-ear headphones to Reviews
    Superb sound quality and because they are in-ear, you don't need to turn it up so loud on the tube so your ears don't buzz at the end of a journey....
  • Reviewed Mixtape USB stick to Reviews
    Uber modern twist on the art of making a mixtape - and it keeps it safe by disguising it too presumably!...
  • Reviewed Apple wireless keyboard to Reviews
    The wireless aspect of the keyboard is obviously handy, but the best bit is how thin it is and so carrying it hardly takes any effort at all. The keys themselves are very low impact as well....
  • Reviewed Radio controlled projection alarm clock to Reviews
    All sorts of useful features designed into this clock. It lets you project the time onto your ceiling of your bedroom, the time automatically syncs and there's a big button on top to hit to switch the alarm off easily....

    Oh and you might fancy adding a laptop skin....

    These key covers make the keys easier to find in my bag - and they look pretty funky too!...
  • Reviewed Zip bottomed tracksuit trousers to Reviews
    When I play 5-a-side I hate having to make the effort to take my trainers off to put tracksuit trousers on to keep warm. Trousers with zips all the way up the legs like this mean I don't need to...
