Gadgets and Gizmos For the Men, Cool Toys For the Big Boys

My partner loved gadgets and gizmos. His idea of the worst present on Christmas day or for his birthday would be a jumper. Women do tend to buy practical gifts and yet I know plenty of men that just love gadgets and gizmos. They are still young at heart. Shows like " Click" and "The Gadget Show" have taken off because there is such a demand and interest in new gadgets.
Cool stuff and gadgets are to be enjoyed. Not all gadgets are terribly practical but who cares? Cool stuff is just that...cool and seriously fun.
If they could fill their rooms with stuff from the Gadget Show they would. So forget practical, think fun and let's talk cool stuff.
One of the best selling boys toys in December 08 has been the Silverlit Remote Control Helicopter. Yes we have one of these and they are impossibly FUN. They don't take long to control and to master something hovering above the fern on the coffee table is yes, cool. Another great gadget for music lovers are a pair of wireless headphones. Men really seem to think these cool and there are lots of brands to choose from. Sony always deliver quality and you can pick up a pair of these for under £35.00. The gifts I'm choosing for my husband this year is a Logitech Squeezebox boom.
You need broadband for this, it looks amazing, isn't cheap at just under £200 but it really is a gadget! It basically allows you to listen to music from your computer in any room in the house! It is wireless has access to Internet radio and allows you to listen to all your thousands of music tracks on your pc. Clever. Lastly another gadget which isn't expensive but is just funny is the Ray Gun Channel Changer. It costs under £10.00 and will make that habit men love of flicking channels on the tv so much more fun for them. You can always hide it after Christmas.

5 Fun Things You Can Do With Your Kindle While Riding The Subway

 If you commute to and from work (or school) via the subway and recently received a shiny new Kindle, you might be wondering what else you can do with the digital reader besides reading. Let's take a look at five fun things you can do with the Kindle while on the subway.

1. Play A Game - Although the Kindle isn't known for game playing, it is verstaile enough that you can play virtual games on it. Simple no frills and no color games are best, such as hangman or Sudoku.
First you must download the game on to your Kindle digital reader and then have at it. Play till your fingers bleed. To find a few games to download and play - visit the Kindle games page on Amazon. Some (if not most) will be 100% free. Just remember to pick the easy and quick no frills variety.
2. Lend A Book - As of December 2010 you can now lend out books to friends and family. Or anyone else with a Kindle enabled device such as Kindle for the PC, iPhone Kindle app, Android Kindle app, etc. As long as the book in question is "lendable" via the publisher you can let someone borrow it for up to 14 days free of charge. This is a super cool feature Amazon added in late last year and one that no doubt should get a lot of fair use.
3. Shop for a Cool Kindle 3 Cover - If you're carrying around your Amazon e-reader naked. Sans a cover or case, you run the risk of it shattering or worse completely breaking upon a fall or drop. Get yourself a nice protective case or cover to keep it shiny, new and operational. The Kindle comes with a limited web browser but it might get you on to Amazon and shopping. Try and see how it fares for you.
4. Dress Up Your Kindle - If you received a sweet decal skin for your birthday or Christmas, now is a great time to slap it on and see how it looks on your e-reader. The neat thing about decal skins is that once you tire of a design you just take it off and apply another. Not too mention they're inexpensive with good decal skins costing you no more than $20 from a reputable online shop like Decal Girl.
5. Show It Off - Let's be honest. Not everyone has a Kindle just yet and when they see one, they're impressed and or curious about the little gadget. Show off! Well show off by using it on the subway and letting others ask you about the best digital reader on the market. Let people know how much you love your e-reading companion.
