Quick test on blogging from HTC One X
When I do phone reviews, I have a number of little tests I like to do. One of them is blogging from it. Right at the moment I’m trying google voice input which is surprisingly good. Can’t work out how you delete though. Now I’ve found the Swype equivalent. It’s called HTC trace and is…
All terrain kart review.
It’s great having big kids. But very often the things I’m offered for review are for small children. So when I was offered a all terrain kart for older offspring I leapt at the chance. There was some assembly required. I was impressed that it came with its own tools though, no messing about trying…
Sunrise E-Cigarette – reviewed.
Those who know me, know I don’t smoke. Tim, on the other hand,does. Not in the house, not ostentatiously, but daily, and expensively. So for today’s review, I’m handing the blog over to him. Tim: My credentials as a reviewer? I have smoked for over 40 years, and smoke about 17 cigarettes a day, I…
Shades of grey.
Now that I’ve found the back button, which is cunningly hidden by virtue of not being illuminated unless you use it, and discovered something that seems very much like swype but is called connected keyboard usage, I’m very happy with the note 2. And as for the above picture, that’s done with a pre installed…
Competing for Christmas.
Times are hard, as I’m sure most of you have already noticed. In the process of setting up a new business venture (feel free to take a look over at our wonderful website package and sign up or tell other people about it) we’re not rolling in spare cash at the moment. So I’m doing…
Peppa Pig jumping in muddy puddles.
Peppa Pig jumps in muddy puddles. I just wish she’d do it quietly. Ahem. This is supposed to be a review. Reviews are supposed to be glowingly positive right? One of the reasons I have a backlog of them (there are many involved reasons why I have a backlog of them, not least because I…
Now is Good (also published as Before I Die) Jenny Downham
“A book that will make you happy to be alive” says Heat. At least that’s the quote that’s on the cover. I’m not quite sure how this is supposed to be achieved? So you read a book about a teenager dying, and feel better because you aren’t that teenager? This is a book that deserves…
How to tell a product is working – a Reading Eggs review.
Recently we were offered a subscription to Reading Eggs to review. Smallest liked it. A lot. I’ve been meaning to blog about it and as usual haven’t got a round tuit, and the subscription has expired. This is a Bad Thing. There is little more upsetting that a disappointed toddler. And when she tries to…
Neptune's Tears.
This lovely looking book arrived in the post this morning, a competition prize from Girls Heart Books. I accidentally devoured it this afternoon in a single sitting, so I think I can vouch for it’s readability. 😉 That said, there were quite a few other things that occurred to me. I enjoyed the plot. It…
Oliver Jeffers – This Moose belongs to Me and the Hueys in the New Jumper.
A while back we were sent the beautiful book, Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers. He rapidly headed on to my list of favourite picture book writers. Since then we’ve had a couple more and it was only when I started to write up This Moose belongs to Me that I realised I hadn’t written…
