Just looking around my desk at work I have my iPhone charging, my laptop charging whilst running on 3 screens, my Pebble smart watch charging and of course, my cappuccino which is recharging me!
Where is technology taking us? Nobody knows. Some claim to know but even they can be exceptionally wrong so here is a variety of people's uses of modern technology. FOr what they want to use it for;
Google Glass everyday use:
The amazing new uses for GoPro cameras:
And of course - my last blog post, below, about how plastic technology is slowly choking the planet to death - you know, to keep this light and fun...

Shatter Proof iPhone - Is It Waterproof Too?
I'm an Apple fan. Admittedly I do not have a Mac computer but we do have an iPad 2, Mini-iPad and 2 iPhone 4's in the house - between the 4 of us. 1 of whom is 2 years old.
We also have all the cables and wires and chargers that we can possibly have, both upstairs and downstairs.
And in the car.

As of yet, we have not broken any Apple device to the point of needing to replace it completely. That is mainly due top the fact that we make sure to not hit it with hammers, electric drills or anything similar.
If we were to do that, then we would buy this product, as tested by the good folks over at Business Insider:
And no guys, the upgrade to iOS 7 did not make your phone waterproof. A ziploc bag can do the job quite nicely though...

Female Rising
I am in a weird kind of awe of the gall, cheek and really exceptionally bad manners of this woman:
And a different kind of awe for this lady: (watch this one until the end)
And a whole bucket load of respect for these girls:

Sugru - Making My Home A Better Place
** This post is in no way sponsored by Sugru**
I've always liked the idea of fixing things instead of throwing them away, and I despise just living with the problem because I just don't have the money to fix everything. And pay the mortgage. And buy food.
Recycling and reusing are very important to Her Indoors, and me, so anything that needn't be thrown away either sits around waiting to get fixed, or just gets used 'as is'. However, I came across a very interesting product recently called 'Sugru' and was looking into buying some.
Here is a short clip explaining the ethos behind Sugru - warning - there is a high possibility of dust getting in your eyes when watching this:
There is a large community behind the product and they happily share their 'How To' efforts on the website.
A product really needs to have good reviews for me to get to buy it on-line, and Sugru fit the description to a tee!
What I intend to do with Sugru and how:
1. Make custom fit ear-buds / ear phones for when I go hobbling round the block in a poor imitation of running.
2. Seal (again) the bath to the wall.
3. Fix plant pots to the walls. Or a deck chair. Or maybe the outside cupboard.
4. Show my Mum how to make handles and plugs easier for her to use
5. Plug the annoying hole in the cracked kitchen floor. And yeah, we bought the place like that.
6. And if I have any Sugru left at the end? I'm going to do a few of the '11 Ways to Improve Your Home'
So if I haven't managed to convince you that Sugru is the bastard son of super-glue and blutac, then here is a short list of things I intend to do with my 2nd and 3rd package of Sugru:
Fix the wife's broken sunglasses
Fix my son's favourite shoes
Reinforce the corners of my aquarium
If you have any further uses of Sugru, please let me know in the comments.

iPhone 5S - The Secret Behind The Technology
Personally, upgrading a phone because it weighs 7 grams less, or has an even better camera just doesn't make it pay for me. I have what I have and I am very happy with it.

However, there is allegedly a new iPhone coming out very soon, and here are some of the details:

Travelling Soon?
Regular visitors to this site know that normally I find a fun or interesting video to share, with an occasional rant thrown in.
Today is the dawning of a new dawn! Well, let's not go too crazy. Yes, i am going to gush about something, but this time its an app, not a video.
Background - my work has given me permission to work from Chicago for the month of July. All four of my family will therefore be leaving Tel Aviv at the crack of sparrow's fart at the end of June to travel a smidgen under 12 hours on a very fast plane. And then get on another.So how do we 'de-stress' this whole set up? In the 'old days' I'd print up the tickets in triplicate and have one set on me, another in my suitcase and yet another posted to my destination in case there was an almighty screw-up.
With today's technology is dead simple. I simply signed up to join travel.tripcase.com, then emailed them the itinerary i got from the travel agent and voila - all of my trip on my phone. Except that now I can also, at the touch of an icon, see the weather, alternate flights, ETAs, gates and so on.
Wowzers, with this app I am chilling out!!
