The small things

Do you value the small the things? I mean in tech.

It's easy to be impressed by huge TV or an expensive computer. How about a mouse mat or some headphones?

I have to say hat's off to Sennheiser they make great affordable ear and headphones. Boy do they last too! My PX100s are on their 3rd set of pads and I just picked up another set of MX300s. Amazon do the later for £18ish which is a steal.

For mouse mats I use Alienware branded Func 1030s with either laser or high DPI optical mice. I prefer Logitech, but my work's Dell High DPI is rather nice. I am still in love with the Elecom MAPP mouse designed by Masamune Shirow. I wish they would do a laser update.

Golla (not Gola) make lovely phone cases and they take the knocks, the currrent one I have has out lasted 2 phones, all the time in my trouser keys pocket.

There's a ghost in me that wants to say sorry...Test

    There are some really sexy new devices out. I really should bring back the Cool Wall I used to run on SteelSkin. Without further a do:  I really would like a new telly and this picture shows the telly from my dreams. It's a Panasonic Plasma, running at 1080P and ...

  • Why does Apple rub me up the wrong way?

    For many years I have had a nagging feeling about Apple and it's products. I generally like what they do and many of their laudable aims, but they have really started to grate with me in recent years. I'm not entirely sure why, they are not any worse than many ...

  • Safari users I’ve got your back

    I have made a few minor tweaks to make the site more palatable to Safari / Mac users. They added a new font rendering style to Safari for Windows called Standard (for CRT). It is kind of like the Mac font rendering acting a wee bit more Windows like. Is ...
