GADGET: Phillips Hue Lights: OK, so I finally got the business case approved by the Mrs and finally ordered these last week and have been playing with them the last few days! For those who haven't heard of them, they are LED lights that you can control with your phone and connects to your router. Cool huh! You can change them any one of a million colours, control them from anywhere in the world, and even have them create a sunset scene using multiple bulbs. The business case I hear you say? Well apparently each bulb lasts 15,000 hours and when dimmed only used 2 watts of electricity. Just as we'll really as most of the energy in our house is needed for our 65" Samsung TV! Ying Yang huh. The starter kit comes with 3 bulbs and the bit that connects to your router and costs £180. Currently available only from the Apple Store. Min Marks out of 10? 7 as the free app it comes with is a bit flaky, but still high marks as its cool tech and The mother in law hasn't come back since 'the ghosts' have mysteriously starting turning the lights to blood red...Money well spent my friend..money well spent!
App: MAYDAY. Ever wanted to be the hero and save the day? This game, which I played all last week on the Met Line from Rayners to Farringdon is quite addictive (and its free!, and for anyone who knows me, free is what I like!). The game involves flying an airliner during its final assent to the runway. You have to keep your nerve, and make sure you be as gentle as possible, do the flaps, gear and be gentle as possible as otherwise folks, people die, and we don't want that. No pressure folks, no pressure!
Joke: Mrs Mrs is leaving me because I spend too much time down the pub. I personally don't know where she's getting that from but that's the rumour down the the Red Lion...
