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!
