A little update on my weekend adventures then, and we’re now at the plastering stage. For those of you who haven’t caught up, check the previous updates in this feature. Basically I’m creating lots of holes in our house in order to put some HDMI, Ethernet, power and …
Let me tell you a story. My son has long wanted a “gaming room”. We’ve pushed back on this but, now he’s at high school, we’ve started to convert our spare room. He also needs it because we made the decision to stop any gadgets, PS4’s or phones …
Remember my strange Shed Project? I wanted to make use of an old smartphone and thanks to a solar panel and some software, I created a web server which didn’t need external power, then lumped in an API so I could remotely control the camera and check on …
LED lights have really come along in the last few years. That big hefty project you might still have in your office, which gets hot and uses big, expensive bulbs, has now been outclassed by smaller LED-powered units. This one, from BenQ, pumps out a 480p 854 x …
I’ve absolutely no idea why you’d want this. I’m perhaps even struggling to describe the thing. It’s, umm.. it’s a robotic finger that you can attach to your phone. Once you’ve attached it then… errr… Well, the people behind this, the MobiLimb, tell me that it.. …aims (to …
OK, a quick update on this geeky shed insanity then. Basically, I grabbed an old solar charger and wanted to know if there was enough daylight coming through my shed window to keep an Android phone alive constantly. I’ve detailed the various stages in Day 1, Day 2 …
I didn’t have a great deal of time last night so here’s a very quick update on the weird solar-powered shed / phone project. If you read the first post then you’ll know that I basically want to create some sort of home server which isn’t powered by …
With CES now in full swing we are starting to see some very interesting things. As you will know, if you are a frequent visitor to the site, I recently reviewed the Razer Phone and found it to be pretty bad ass, albeit barring a few camera issues. …
If you’re following us on Twitter then, first up, thank-you. We think you’re brilliant. Secondly, you should’ve spotted our earlier piece about the Xperia Touch in February. It’s a device which turns any surface into a touchscreen and, when I tested it (video below), I kinda wanted to …
This morning we covered the Sony press conference live. They announced a new Xperia XZ Premium handset which we’ll be telling you more about shortly. They also announced a couple of mid-range devices – the XA1 and XA1 Ultra – and some open-ear headphones …… but our attention …
Earlier you hopefully found our post about the Moto Z family and the snap-on Moto Mods. You probably thought, “Oh, what a fantastic website that is, I must follow them on Twitter and then hunt down that “Gears” fella and buy him lots of beer, he’s doing a …
Lenovo told us to head to their Tech World event and watch the keynote. It’s happening live, right now in Silicon Valley and, during the second hour (scheduled to be 7PM BST here in the UK), they’ll be making a big announcement involving Moto. What is that announcement? …

Ask me about a smartphone with a projector and I’ll probably point out the Samsung Galaxy Beam that we saw here in Barcelona some four years ago. It made a bit of a comeback in 2014 and Lenovo gave it a bash last year too. However, for reasons …
Crowd funding is a great concept, from projects that can include a tub of potato salad right through to a flying bicycle there are some grand ideas out there that range from the sublime to the ridiculous. One project that could certainly be viewed as promising is the Jolla …
