Apacs Finapi 88 – Carbon For The Common man.
Apacs may not be a name commonly come across in the badminton world. But they are up and coming, and for all the right reasons. With the market flooded with highly endorsed stupidly expensive rackets from manfacturers such as Yonex and Li-Ning, its comforting to know that theres one brand that caters to the common man with well built, well … Read more
Canon’s delightful SX230HS do it all travel zoom.
…or otherwise titled “The $230 you will never regret spending”. Its true, believe you me. This article is a follow up to the stupendously horrible Fuji S2950 camera that i did below. Everything that is wrong with it is simply not in this little package. There are more detailed “reviews” on the internet complete with numbers and charts. But thats not quite how … Read more
FujiFilm’s not so FinePix S2950 digital camera.
There really are one too many of these. If flooding the market so you cant see the majestic redwoods for the rest of the trees was the goal, then their work is done. I can save you the time of reading the rest of the review by saying in summary that you should stay far … Read more

Living Right… or just to the Left of Death.
Fauja Singh ran into the records book just the other day. It made the news…. The Turbaned Tornado, Centenarian, marathon runner.. 100 years on and running strong. Well, out came the can openers and those familiar can of worms. Surprised? Apparently we in our collective unconscious all want to be immortal, or so they’d want us to believe. And every single … Read more
Evo 4G wireless Induction charging modification.
I was really pretty content with my wireless device. It could do no wrong, did everything i wanted and then some, and was customisable with so many great Roms released at a rate that i for one, definitely could not keep up with. Then came the HP Touchpad firesale, a world wind of an event … Read more
Grado SR60s blast from the past.
If you’ve ever even suggested to mother Google the need to reference a purchase decision on headphones, then you know the Grado name. It frequently gets recommended on the interweb as the best bang for the buck in upgrading your aural experience at its current asking price of $79. And for good reason. The SR60, Grados … Read more
Playground Politics.
Its really hard to explain to a 6 year old why hes not going to the park today… much more so that its not his fault. Don’t let anybody ever tell you otherwise. When it comes to the point that quitting time ends in one child or another being dragged off home by their respective parent … Read more
A blade to the belly of the beast…. (or how to scratch your Evo 4G)
does it scratch? Easily?.. or even at all? Google for the need of a screen protector for the venerable Evo 4G and you’ll come away pretty much stranded between two camps. One resoundly advocates the use of a screen protector to protect all that beautiful screen real estate and the other quite adamantly says no, the protector detracts from the … Read more
Epic Evolution?
The problem is choice. Its a problem i wouldn’t mind too much if it wasn’t so darned hard to make that choice. Okay,.. Zion and the rest of humanity may not have been at stake with the choice i had to make. None the less, i did not want to be the Architect of my own poorly decided decision. Its the principle of … Read more
