I have just purchased myself a Nike+ Fuel Band, with the thoughts that it will inspire me to get out and get fit.
I will therefore be posting my thoughts on it soon, I have only been rocking with it for a day and half so I will give it a bit of time, for me to use it and see the best ways to work with it, and will get back to you when I have had a good play with it.
Just a quick and shameless plug for you guys to all have a look at my PistonHeads.com Garage…
I have four cars in there at the moment and I don’t think there is a way to link to them all at once so I will just do it individually.
1. Subaru Impreza (1999)
2. Subaru Impreza (2002)
3. Nissan Micra (1999)
4. Smart ForTwo (2008)
Feel free to have a look or and a wee read, if you have any questions on the cars I will happily do my best to answer them, and in the unlikely event you don’t know about PistonHeads.com have a look at it, it is a great Car Website with forums full to the throat of knowledgable people.
Enjoy.
So we all get them, the emails from China offering brand name watches at ridiculously low prices. They even tell you know that these are replicas and made to ‘look like famous watches.’
www.discoverybuying.com is one such site that is flooded with replica watches from makes such as Breitling, Rolex, Tissot, Tag…..
The thing is these are counterfeit, replica sounds much more innocent than counterfeit, but that’s exactly what they are.
Do they though damage the brand name? To be honest I don’t think so. Anyone with the cash and eye for a good genuine watch will not be buying one of these, they will be spending the cash and getting the real thing.
The thing that had got me for a long time though was one question, ‘What are these fakes actually like?’ I bit the bullet and paid out the big $$$ to find out. I ordered a Tissot 8007 with the heft price tag of $7.99 delivered! That is so cheap it is hard to believe. The postage alone would almost cost that.
The Tissot 8007 doesn’t actually exist, but the Tissot PRC200 does, and it is clearly this model that the replica is based on.
The internet rumour mill is now rife with chatter that the ‘iPhone 5s’ is getting ready for release! The iPhone 5 is still like gold dust in many stores, so is it likely that an 5s will be in development and ready for testing so soon?
After the ‘new iPad’, and then the ‘iPad with Retina Display’ I think it is more than possible in fact I’d go as far as saying likely!
This extract pulled from the web pretty much says it all…
Every November now, we are teased and eventually treated with the latest Call of Duty episode.
And as a result of this everyone has their own feelings about its release, some will see it as the pinnacle shooter of our generation, and some will see it as the biggest pile of n00b infected glitch ridden trash ever to be released.
Although the latter is no doubt exceptionally unfair and more than likely the comments of someone who has found their favourite glitch has since been ironed out, or at their first attempt of 0wning the battlefield became subsequently Pwned!
I am a huge fan of the Casio G-Shock range and like all G-Shock wearers sometimes we feel the need for a more formal watch, without losing the grunt that a G-Shock affords.
This is where Casio noticed a spot in the market, and hence you have the Casio Edifice range. These watches are huge in Japan, almost a sub culture which started from the G-Shock fraternity. You will find a huge number of G-Shock collectors are equally keen on the Edifice and whilst often ‘cheaper’ in the European market some of the Edifice range can sport a price tag amongst collectors that would make Tag or Rolex wearers raise an eyebrow!
This is my first dip into the Edifice world and I have to say I am hugely impressed, this thing is big, heavy, obvious and at the same time, sleek, and tidy.
I won’t waste anyone’s time with a review, or insult anyone’s intelligence, but here are the top points…
1. It is a watch, it tells the time!
2. It also tells the date!
3. It has a chronograph.
4. It even tells you the day!
Today is the day Apple bring out their small tablet onto the market, and I want one!
But do I?
This is the problem you see, I have a ‘New iPad’ which is also getting binned today for an ‘iPad with Retina Display’ (which mine has anyway) but hoo ha, can I justify an iPad mini.
Yes it would be nice to have, but with the Nexus 7 on the market, currently at £199 for a 32Gb model, and a Blackberry Playbook 64Gb sitting at £129 it is a big decision for what will ultimately be a pocket browser, but then surely my iPhone 5 handles that?
The market is flooded and tech heads like me are funding it!
Time to go and do some research, in Apples favour all my apps will work and it will just slide on nicely with everything else, in Nexus favour I want to give android a go and in Blackberry’s favour I could buy 2 and have 8 (EIGHT!!) times the amount of storage!
Researching…
I thought this may be useful to some:
I recently decided to have a look at Windows 8, and as I am now a Mac User I had an old copy of Windows that I could upgrade on a spare parts machine. I needed to install Windows on the MAc to be able to upgrade it, but to be honest I am still learning at OSX. I needed to burn an ISO of the windows disk to a DVD and I had no idea what I needed or how to do it. I know that on the PC I needed separate software, thankfully with the Mac it was much easier, in fact it is this easy…
1. Insert a blank disc.
2. Start Disk Utility.
3. From the File menu, choose Open Disk Image and select the ISO to be burned.
4. In the list of volumes, you will now see an item representing the ISO file. Select it.
4. Click the Burn button and follow the instructions.
Easy eh?!
I picked myself up a rear rack for the bike this week, basically so I can stick a top box on it, in turn enabling me to throw a helmet or two in there if and when I park up, or pack stuff to take with me, such as a picnic!
The first thing I realised was it isn’t as easy as just getting a box, a rear frame needed purchased. Now to make things even more complicated, the type of frame you buy determines the type of box you can use, and who makes it. So if you want a GIVI then you need a frame that takes a givi box. Although GIVI make two different boxes, ‘Monolock’ and ‘Monokey.’ One Givi frame will take either, one is specific. See how it starts to get complicated!
Today celebrates the centenary of the Ulster Covenant in Northern Ireland. The Covenant was signed in 1912 by almost 500,000 people to express their opposition to Home Rule.
Today will see almost 30,000 marchers and supports of the Covenant and orange order descend upon Belfast to march all around the city in the largest open air parade for over 20 years.
Good luck and have a good day to all those involved.
It is also a highly contentious march that having looked at twitter already looks like there are already trouble makers around looking to stoke the fires of the past and cause as much disruption as they can, of course partnered with the traditional Belfast riot.
Therefore lets all hope that calm rules today and this event does not become a media frenzy on the trouble that can still dominate Belfast.
Oh and if you would like to sign the Covenant you can do so 100 years later at Ulster Covenant 2012 – Sign here
