Okay, so I admit it - I am bit of a nerd. Okay, a lot of a nerd. This advert probably sums me up as it really tickles me:

 

I mean, how weird to you have to be to want to design and play with websites in the evenings and weekends instead of watching tv or a film?

So what are my favourite gadgets at the moment?


Well, top of the list has to be the iPhone. I really didn't want to like this phone - I have always been a Windows Mobile phone user, but sadly I fell in love with it. It is just so easy to use. It is by no means perfect, but it certainly is a user friendly piece of kit. In fact it is so good that my wife now has one - someone who really only ever used her mobile for calling or texting, now seems almost as addicted to it as me.

Next thing is I guess the Sky HD box. Sky have recently updated the tv guide on the HD boxes and it is much more user friendly (though a bit slower). It still doesn't compete with Tivo (Tivo was the first hard disc recorder which was absolutely brilliant but sadly Sky bought the rights to them in this country and promptly closed it down) but it is better than the standard.

Third gadget - Pomfrie my Nabaztag. This is the most pointless thing in my house but it is so much fun. Have a look at what a nabaztag is here: http://www.nabaztag.com/en/index.htm
