Is that music in my head…

7 Sep

Oh no, it’s in my pillow.

My geeky gadget of the day is (drum roll) Wiki imusic pillow! £14.95

You plug in your phone, ipod whatever, put your head down for a good nights kip and be serenaded by the sound of music drifting from your pillow.

The reason I like this gadget so much is that sometimes I do find it hard to fall asleep. Fine when I’m on my own, but sometimes you don’t want to disturb people, so the fact that you wouldn’t need to wear headphones (which I always get tangled up in during the night!) and could just sleep normally but without the other member of the bed (normally my cat…) hearing it would be brilliant.

The downside…I doubt this is a particularly comfy pillow, so it would probably have to sit under the bed until needed.

But I like the idea!

Well done Wiki imusic pillow – Geeky Gadget of Friday

Gadgets are a go go

6 Sep

I do love a good gadget, I might not be able to buy them, but I love them. So this lunchtime I decided to put together a gadget/technology wish list, starting with, well, the obvious.


The Nespresso Gran Maestria Coffee Machine by Magimix

First of all, the placement of the buttons really does make me think of the film Batteries Not Included – reason enough to buy it.

Add in that it has a milk frother with 4 settings, takes the Nespresso pods (I’m sorry but the ease and taste of them do win in my eyes) and is quite aesthetically pleasing means it wins with me. Plus! It has a cup heater…well. What more can I say?

Life doesn’t get much better than a wireless Bose speaker. I was lucky enough to be in possession of one for awhile, but unfortunately had to hand it back! The music quality is just superb, and the fact that it’s light and portable meant it often came into the garden with me on a summers afternoon, as well as into the bathroom when I was taking a relaxing bath. I miss it terribly, so it is definitely on my hit list!

 

I can’t lie, I’m a Samsung girl! And I have lusted after this red Samsung R530 for a year or so now! Luckily, I have the S3 phone, which really is like my own personal, slightly smaller, laptop. However, as my blogging gets more prevalent the lust for a laptop is returning!

It’s a simple one, but I’d love a new kettle! Especially a red one to go with my red kitchen accessories. And I reckon this Morphy Richards kettle would make a darn good cuppa.

…because I think it’s time I have a proper grown up camera?  So I can take really good photos of kittens in teacups and children dressed up like cabbage patch kids…

OK, who doesn’t remember playing with the phone when they were a kid? Especially these rotary phones. I for one used to love moving the dial round, letting go and watching it spin back (I was a child with simple tastes). Now if I had anyone who would actually call me on it, I’d get it.

And finally, this is why I love Samsung – they’ve now made a wine cooler – Must. Have!
