Not content with shaking up the bridge camera market with its new EVIL NEX 3 and NEX 5 mirrorless cameras, Sony has snuck out a sneak preview of an up-coming camcorder using the same APS C-size CMOS high-definition sensor. Described as still “in development” over on Sony’s official blog, the un-named device will feature interchangeable [...]

It’s not often I bother to write a post describing my good experiences with a company – especially when it comes to my quite frankly abysmal experiences getting my roof sorted a while back – but I wanted to publicly thank Jackson Roofing for their sterling work recently. Originally contacted to replace some broken guttering [...]

Today, I was wandering around Halifax during lunch.  Nothing particularly exciting about that – it’s pretty much a daily occurrence. While out and about, I spotted an amusing sign of which I wanted to take a picture.  Again, nothing special – it’s something I do quite a lot. This particular sign was located in the [...]

While TokyoFlash’s impressive curved E-Ink watch wins the style stakes, I have to admit a soft spot for Seiko’s latest invention – the FutureNow watch. Looking like an oversized digital watch from the mid-nineties, the FutureNow has an electrophoretic E-Ink – actually a Vizplex, if we’re talking trademarks – display which is capable of showing [...]

I will happily recruit the help of friends to aid me in getting what I want. I have no tolerance for people getting [...]

I spotted this post on Boing Boing a while back, and meant to write something about it at the time but kept putting it off.  It’s been languishing at the bottom of my Google Reader Starred Items ever since, and as I’m in the mood to clear out some old stuff I figured now was [...]

I’ve stumbled across a neat toy in the form of AppBrain, a snazzy bit of kit for Android ‘phones that finally brings the one feature I’ve been missing since getting my Milestone: a desktop interface to the Android Market. It’s a simple concept: you install a client app on your ‘phone, and then it syncs [...]

I’ve been scoffing at the iPad since its details were first announced: no Flash support; no multitasking; no third-party unapproved apps; why would I ever want one? Well, I think I’ve just found the answer in the Marvel Comics app.  Quite frankly, it looks awesome. The guys over at Boing Boing have got the details, [...]
