Top 5 gadgets seeking attention in my home (in
order of purchase):
1. Davis instruments weather station, been out
of
the box once, got the anenometer up to an impressive 78mph, back in box
waiting
to be installed.
2. Homevision, an expensive piece of kit
for
warming up the lava lamp*
3. 2x wireless ePod
4. Dopey, the loveable Sony
Aibo
5. Newly received KAT 5 TX+RX
boxes
*OK, so the
homevision does do a little more than warm up the lava lamp, but like most
homevision owners; you program it and leave it to do its job, then think
about
improving your schedule, but never do.
I can foresee attention being given in the
reverse
order of purchase.

Until I met you Phil, I thought I had the biggest pile
of
underused gadgets
:)
I've actually just dug out an amazing piece
of
kit, that I haven't used for
a while. Before I had my accident one of my
hobbies was full-bore rifle
shooting. I started when at school during
the
summer term instead of Cricket
(not that I don't like cricket, but I'm
better at Shooting). I continued it
while in the TA.
Since the
accident, rifle shooting isn't really an option, so I now have
a
competition Air Pistol - don't laugh, there's a picture of it
here

Trying to work out what is wrong when
someone's shooting is really
difficult so I came across a piece of kit
developed by members of the
Russian Olympic team, The SCATT Solution -
details here http://www.scatt.com/english/default.asp.
Instead of using a
laser on the barrel, it uses four IR transmitters on
the
target, and a
receiver mounted on the weapon. I only wish it had been
available when I was
trying to coach the junior members when I was at
School, life would have
been so much easier.
Top that
one!
