Motorola: Are They Back?

Motorola’s mobile phones division has been….how can I say it….awkward for a while now, you know what I mean. They hardly release any new phones, and those that they do

Naruto wannabes unite! Decorate your fridge with Throwing Star magnets

Ninjas are eternally fascinating. They're just so much cooler than any of our Western alternatives will ever be (Pirates Vs Ninjas? Please- the Ninjas would win every time, no matter how hot Johnny Depp makes Pirates). And our need for all things Ninja is at an all time high with the success of recent video games and certain animes. I even have a ninja tattoo (it's a theatre thing- long story!) so Ninja addiction is very real and very here.

The Selk Bag: Because it’s always cold outside, even in summer.

I remember the good old days, back when I was Girl Guide. Camp fires, crafts, badges, chasing Boy Scouts… ah, good times. Unfortunately along with those came camping out in the freezing cold in a tent. A good sleeping bag was essential, and anyone who enjoys camping will tell you the same. Sadly, sleeping bags just aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. They get twisted around you in the middle of the night, and the ones with the built in hood pillows will inevitably smother you. And then there’s the issue of having to get up while it’s still cold. They might be awful to sleep in, but once you’re snuggled up nice and warm, rabid Brownies couldn’t drag you out of your sleeping bag.

This is why Selk Bags were invented. They’re sleeping bags Jim, but not as we know it…

An absolute tech junky, I graduated from the University of Manchester with a degree in Computing and now live on the outskirts of Leeds working with you guessed it, Computers. I love all things gadgety but really dislike wires. For those of you who haven’t worked it out the name of the site is a combination of my nickname (Gaj) and the pronunciation ‘Gadget’.
