The iPad - Initial thoughts
Thanks firstly to @Ilicco for despite being trapped in New York for a week due to a certain cloud of volcanic dust, he managed to get back to the UK in pretty good time to deliver me a 64gb iPad. The same very iPad I am writing on now as I sit as a passenger in the car with my MiFi on the dashboard providing my Internet connection. I just wanted to jot a few first thoughts down in a blog post...

Echarger
Echarger is a small company that supplies portable tech chargers and solar products.I’ve had some bits and bobs for over a year now they are still going strong. As I hone and refine what I carry around as a mobile power/charging solution I pass off some of the kit i am no longer testing, so I can see how others get on with it.@Computid has kindly offered to test some kit from Echarger and I...
Our Prison Island
Today I’m packing for a flight to Italy I’m pretty convinced won’t be leaving thanks to a certain Volcano.You never know, some miracle may happen. I was really looking forward to the International Journalism Festival in Perugia, Italy. I was due to be a part of the Media 140 team.Mostly I feel for @cward1e, @AndeGregson and @KatePickering They have put in an immense amount of...
Location Based Data Logging
I think the tools are finally in place to safely log dangerous locations should I wish to return to war torn places like Iraq or Afghanistan.Last time I was in Iraq I was blindfolded before being taken to certain mountain training camps. FAt the time, for my own safety I’d quietly log my current location on my Garmin GPS as ‘Secret Camp 01’ and ‘Secret Camp 02’ and so...

Balvenie Signature 12 Year Old Whisky
Tonight I am drinking a wee dram from a sample bottle of the Balvenie Signature 12 Year Old Whisky. It’s a limited release, single malt Scotch whisky that David Stewart first made in 2008 to mark his 45th year in the whisky industry. I’ve only recently finished a bottle of Single Barrel Balvenie a few weeks ago which I thoroughly enjoyed. With the Signature though, Malt Master David...

Acoustibuds from 76D
I have a drawer in my office where all the naff headphones get sent to live. They’re the headphones that come with phones and cheap gadgets mainly.Apple are the worse culprits. You would thing that with the iPod/iPhone would come with the best of the best but no. They obviously want you to upgrade to the good ones. Shame, as the in line remotes with mic are really quite good. The cheap...

Social Media Picnic 2010
If you read the recent article in the Guardian regarding location based apps and privacy, you may have been reminded that on the 25th of June each year a small get together pops up at George Orwell’s final resting place to talk about civil liberties and privacy concerns in the UK. In essence it’s a picnic (bring a packed lunch) but there is always the local pub should it rain. There is...
Solargorilla & the Kensington Ultra Portable...
The Solargorilla easily charges any iPhone model through just the USB to iPhone connector supplied.. Providing you have sun. If you find yourself under a blanket of cloud & havn’t yet invested in the Powergirilla or Minigorilla you may find a workaround with an old iPhone backup battery that’s lying forgotten in the bottom of a tech bag. I found an overcast sky towards the end...
MiFi powered by the Solar Gorilla
I am doing as much testing as I can with the Solar Gorilla in overcast conditions before the summer comes. I feel as we spend most of the year in over cast conditions I will get to see a more accurate reflection of the SolarGorilla’s uses in the UK. If you do live in a sunnier climate then lucky you I imagine you are solar powered up to the hilt and if not.. Why not?.At the moment the MiFi...
