Since the days of Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, I have been a fan of Big Willy.
Now because of "I Am Legend" I've seen Will Smith in the BEST movie of 2007/2008
What a star. Awesome. My fingers are still sore from the squeezing Jane gave them throughout the whole 141 minutes. Damn, I'm going to see it again.
Top Gadget: The Minature wireless webcam Will uses on his glasses. Nice.
If you want to see a great movie that will make you jump and think, this is it.
If you want a simply brilliant film without the fear, check out "American Gangster", Denziel Washington is one scary mother and Russell Crow is the most honest cop you'd ever wish to meet. When their paths cross, look out.
Top Gadget: A Microwave (Yum, popcorn)
Next is Golden Compass, hmm, going to be as good as the books? Fingers crossed.
Top Gadget: The Golden Compass!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

My Hernia Is No More
There's always someone more worse off than you...
From the moment I arrived at the hospital, hungry, thirsty and a little bit scared, I wondered what I could do to entertain myself until I was called into theatre (no, not doing a show)
I was under the impression that I would be in and out within the morning. I had visualised a conveyor belt where I'd lie. It would take me and others through the rubber flaps where a teams of surgeons who operate using Keyhole techniques would sort me out, quick as a flash. Before I could say "Bobs my Uncle" I'd be out the other flaps and on my way home.
I really did think I would be back at work the same day. Well, what do I know? Nothing it seems.
Not even enough to bring something to pass the time. I'd left everything at home, not one gadget was about my person.
It said so in the leaflet "Bring Nothing of Value"
I imagined teams of cat burglars stripping the wards of valuables, so I took nowt.
Bugger.
All I had was GMTV on the telly and Victoria Beckham on the front cover of Hello magazine (June 2006) to keep me sain.
Time dawdled on, I visited the League of Friends, a bunch of biddies who make cups of tea for grieving relatives and sell chocolate digestives for 10p.
I'm not allowed to eat before my op, I really fancied a biscuit, and I have 37p in change.
After only 6 hours 47 minutes I am told there is a bed available on F Ward (I imagined Gordon Ramsey would be taking care of me). I got there without realising this would probably be the last time I would run up a flight of stairs for a couple of weeks.
It all went quite quickly after that, I was ushered in to my room by Sam (the only bed available was in this room, the only "private" room on the ward, maybe they'd heard about me and decided to segregate me) . Sam is a chatty Nurse from Kent, who was very busy but promised she would give me a guided tour in a minute, after the medicine run.
I sat down and fell asleep, I woke up sometime later (no watch) with a stiff neck and a furry tongue. I wondered why anyone would leave those lying around.
Then, they came for me, 3.35pm, I wasn't ready. I hadn't put on the special socks on, or the floral gown. I got changed quick, then the doors burst open and a team of orderlies plonked me on the bed and wheeled me down the Theatre. Ah, we chatted about all sorts of rubbish, down the corridors and through double doors, past racks of medical instruments and rubber gloves.
In the prep room I met once more Stephen, my Anaesthetist from Queggs, Blackburn. I greeted him with a jolly hello and he stuck a needle in my hand. I didn't have time to count, I was too busy being funny (I thought I was being funny) as I felt the cold rush of drugs go up my arm. The last thing I remember was the cold reaching my elbow, the next I was waking up in recovery, telling the same joke I went to sleep on. And still getting laughs (or they were laughing AT me, I'm not sure)
I couldn't feel much, but they didn't hang about so I guess I must have come around quite quick.
Or not, how would I know.
I floated through the corridors once more, back down the ward and into my room. A young boy came to see if I needed anything, I asked for a black coffee, one sugar and off he went, and was back immediately with a black coffee, one sugar. Speedy Gonzales has nothing on this cat.
I drink my coffee, I'm sure its probably very hot, but I wouldn't know. I may have had it in my hand for a minute or an hour.
I'm sat in the hospital bed feeling abit sorry for myself after having my hernia operation.
I tried to find something to do, I wanted a book, all I could find were tatty old paperbacks that had been read to death.
Non I wanted to read. All a little sad, and torn, grubby and covered in chocolate digestive crumbs.
So I lay in bed. I had no money for the TV/Radio/Internet jobbie, I just lay there. Hunched up in my electric folding bed.
My bit's are sore, tender and bruised and my bum is getting numb. It really hurts when I cough or sneeze, so I try to do neither.
The nurse Suzanne asked my how I felt, I said like someone had kicked me in the nuts. Quite seriously Suzanne assured me they wouldn't have done that.
There's a girl in the bed outside my little room, who's not very well at all. I can see her through the open door, it looks like her hair is falling out, she makes whimpering noises and sobs occasionally. I have no idea what's wrong with her, and to be honest, I didn't like to ask, she's very pale and sickly looking. I have a habit of saying the wrong things, so I don't.
A squeaking noise like worn rubber on a polished floor catches my ear. I can't quite see what's making the sound, but I guess someone is about to pass my door.
A Jamaican chap is being push along in a wheelchair down the ward, laughing, smiling and joking in his sing song patois with the other patients (who are mostly middle aged to elderly ladies), tucked up in their hospital beds. The effect is like a ray of sunshine as he leaves each person he meets with a smile or a grin etched on their face.
Including the girl.
He's about 65 years old, greying dreadlocks, eyes that shine like newly minted shillings and a leg that stands by itself.
It's twin was amputated just the other day, he seems not to care about such a trivial matter, he says something to me that makes me laugh too.
I'm not sure what he said, but even though it hurt when I laughed, I knew my pain would not stay forever.
Unlike his leg, that would never come back.
I stopped feeling sorry for myself, I made an effort to get out of bed and I come home to get on with work.
After a day and night in a place where sick people laugh and nurses are run ragged, doctors work long hours and surgeons perform miracles. I wanted to thank them for all they have done, not just for me, but for all who pass their way, without passing away.
And thank god I didn't have to stay there longer than I did. The Nurses, Orderlies, Doctors, Cleaners everyone do a wonderful job, but I was glad to get out. My lovely Jane came to my rescue, but some folk wont be leaving, at least not yet.
Me, I was just a day case, but some poors sods are stuck in there. Because they need to be there, they need fixing, mending, making better.
You can help them get better. You know those books you have lying around, the ones you've read and arn't sure what to do with them, the magazines and board games, packs of cards and suchlike. Give them to your nearest hospital.
Just remember to clean your hands before going in.
It might be you in there one day who needs something to read, and a biscuit.

When did you last impress yourself?
Not when you thought you'd impressed someone else,
but when you last made an impression on the Most Important person on Earth?
That's You.
Come on. Think about it for a minute...
Don't worry if you're finding it hard to think of something.
We all forget to impress ourselves.
We spend our time trying to impress others though,
be it our Boss or Spouse, Parents or Friends.
Just now and again you should try impressing the person you love the most (I still mean you).
When you impress yourself, you surprise yourself. By doing something new, something you didnt think you could do or have never tried to do before.
Step out of your comfort zone and do something different, nay, spectacular.
You may find its something you have been missing all these years.
You know you want to.
Wanna tell me about it?

Back at Heathrow for another busy weekend
The police are very busy, stoping anyone who looks dodgy, or not.
I can't seem to get enough of Rhodes, I am on my way back again until Sunday.
Got a call while sorting out orders this afternoon. If you made an order today I'll make sure to add a little something to your package when I send it Monday.
Had to grab my bags and get going.
It took 3 hours to get here as there had been a jackknifed lorry on the M4 that made driving very slow. Slower for the lorry driver, hope he's ok.
Just checking in now, its remarkably quite, ill have to travel this time everytime!
See you soon Jane, Molly and Rosie
Love you xxx

Look at the leg room...
And checkout my legs...
Olympic airlines (Airbus A-340) are the winner for the most leg room in economy class, so far. Michael Flatly would love it.
They were calling my name for the last call. I was busy with the customs guys checking out the contents of my bag. What they saw on the x-ray machine took their interest.
It was my hoard of Fenix flashlights, the P3DCE was the favorite and was passed around to the head man. The chap turned off the torch and handed it back to me after blinding himself and three of his collegues. Hilarious!
We are taking off, so the phone is going off.

Ready for takeoff
Ok, this is it, I'm off to Athens.
Been a while since I went there last, got held at gunpoint, at customs for looking dodgy. That was when I had the long hair and army Rucksack( a Bergen if you must). Thanks god they didn't search me, he had huge hands and fingers like bagettes. I'm sure that guy doesn't work there anymore.
I'm really looking forward to the famous Greek hospitality and doing a couple of funny shows. If you don't know what show I mean:
Http:\\www.ComedyHypnotistShow.com
Got an hour or so before my connecting flight to Rhodes, where I will be met by the great
Vasilli from bar24 in Faliraki.
Last night I did a great show for the army down at some top secret base, I had to be blindfolded all throughout the gig!
I'll post some clips when I get back.
The new website is back online again and working great. Free uk delivery on all products, see how that goes! I mean, its not free really, I'm paying for it. Its not like royal mail are doing me any favors or anything. Though they are doing a fantastic job getting your orders to you, a bit slow sometimes, but hey, they have a big job to do.
Right, as you can tell, we havnt taken off yet, I don't type that fast, but I better switch this phone off (yes I know the bit at the end of every post is annoying, I can't seem to get rid of it or stop it being sent. Bleeding advertising genius or what)

PLEN the Desktop Robot playing Football
I saw this little guy at the CES in Las Vegas in January 2007 (I know, ages ago...I'm bloody busy alright!).
Plen, the small but most intelligent robot, prefers your desktop as a den.
With the motion building software exclusively for plen, you can create your original motion and the possibilities are endless because some plen can already enjoy roller skating and riding the skateboard.
Controlled by Bluetooth by using your mobile phone or pc.
You can program your own movements or use the preprogrammed motions.
Cost? Around £2000, bargain!

Sub Bass at the CES Car Audio Show - Part 2
After seeing Mad Mike I decided to listen around for More Bass, that was slightly more affordable.
Found these GR Cabs doing their stuff.
Heck, I'll take Fifty of em!

Pimp My Ride - Mad Mike & Some Serious Bass - CES Vegas 2007
The Organisers of the CES Car Show would only allow 10 seconds per hour as the bass was so loud and deep.
We saw everyone waiting around the stand and had no idea why, so like good people, we waited too!
We found out within a minute or so why we were waiting. Good God!
The sound on the video can't do it justice. I had a coffee in my hand and only stopped filming when I realised the bass had made me spill most of it down my pants. Either that or I pissed myself.

Fenix Cree Flashlights vs Surefire Xenon & Maglight Krypton
Want to see the Fenix flashlights compared to a Surefire Z2 or 3D Cell Maglite? Watch the Movie clip.
I have so many customers asking "how bright are the Fenix compared to other flashlights and each other, so here you go. Take a look at see for yourself!
I ran out of time, so here's more about the L2DCE and the Striker VG Mk3

Go Go GlowGadgets
Phew, I was getting worried there.
Everything is fine, at last.
The site has been running for a week now and it was a little shock to the system,
new cart, new epos system, adding products (more to be added) links not working, search listings buggered up. All that.
Anyway, the orders are coming in now that the site has all the Secure certificates and payment methods sorted. PayPal will be added in a few weeks and maybe even Google Checkout.
For now Protx is doing a stirling job, as are my team of developers (thanks guys: Tom, Neil, Mark, David and the Unknown web hermit).
My customers have been giving great feedback, thanks everyone... That reminds me, I haven't mentioned the winner of the Fenix P3DCE. Oops...
The Kapasi Family are the winners. Well, not all of them, only the one.
Have a great bank holiday and don't get stuck in traffic.

Downtime and Headaches
First the new site is running, then it isn't.
On and off, never knowing when or if its staying.
The technical help say it's just a glitch, seems my site is putting a bit more strain on the sytem than expected. They are moving my site to a diferent server that can do the job better.
I hope so, I've had no online orders for the last two days. Midweek is always quiet, but not dead.
Just to keep an eye on the site I am using WebSitePulse who are monitoring my website at a very resonable rate, Zero, Nada, Nothing.

On and off, never knowing when or if its staying.
The technical help say it's just a glitch, seems my site is putting a bit more strain on the sytem than expected. They are moving my site to a diferent server that can do the job better.
I hope so, I've had no online orders for the last two days. Midweek is always quiet, but not dead.

GlowGadgets Mk3 Coming This Week
You must realise I am nervous. I am a nervous kind a guy.
Its all the Caffine I consume makes me run around talking non stop and worrying if I am getting it right.
So far, everything about GlowGadgets has all been done by me. Now, its the professionals time. The website is built, it's populated with products, the testing is over, the SSL Certificate is in place, the Payment gateway is secured and running.
But I have one final thing to do...
Destroy my hard work from the last 6 years and start a new.
Uproot my Domain and place it on a new DNS.
I hope that Apache Re Write is as good as they say.
Hopefully then I will be able to get a little of my life back, spend more time with my family, knowing I can run my site easily and more profficiently than before. This is the claim from the company that has had me biting my nails the last few months.
It's looking good, it seems to work just fine, bye bye website as we know it.
Lets see what happens eh?
"He who dares Rodney, he who dares..."

My mac and I
It has taken 25 years, but I figured that it was time I got a another mac.
My first mac was an Apple mac II, I had it during my first proper job and though it was amazing. But, I really didn't do much but work stuff and when I finally got my own computer, it was a PC. I couldn't afford a mac.
So since my first PC in 1998 (remember I have been traveling the World for 12 years previous) I never thought much about mac, apart from "what a pain in the ass it must be, not having all these great Windows programs"
ahem...
Then mac got intel inside, that made me sit up and take more notice. I nearly got an iMac with all the bells and whistles last year, but I chickened out and got another PC. I felt like a coward, but rationalized that i was doing the right thing.
After all, I new my way round a PC and I didn't want to start learning all the weird mac stuff.
What a Chicken shit!
Unti Now, I did it. Last week in fact, and I am using it now. Typing this using Ecto.
I see now why iPods are so popular (I still don't have one, and don't want one. But that is only because I have never tried one). If people shared they're mac around like the do with the iPod, you know, instead of "Here, listen to this" it would be "Here, try this program" we would have a lot more mac users. And I can see why people who have a mac are the way they are...
The box arrived, I was excited and hoped that I would be able to make it work. I sat the box down and didn't open it for 5 hours, I was scared that it wouldn't be right after all. Like a mail order bride. The description sounds perfect, but they were only emphasising the positives and ignore the negatives. That sweet, intelligent and loving women ends up being some worn out, dodgy scrubber.
So the box stayed on the floor, I got on with work, but like a Ventrioquist dummy, I could hear the mac's muffled shouts "Let ne out, let ne out, let ne out"
The box didn't feel very heavy, for a laptop to be inside. There it sat, on my lap. I took a deep breath and with my knife, carefully cut through the tape and opened the box.
I was filled with a kind of reverence, I new this was a special moment and thought about taking a photo of it (but that would have spoilt it. Setting up the tripod, finding batteries for the camera, etc) for prosperity.
Greeted by grey foam, I though "mmm that stuff would be great for sound proofing" I put that to one side, in case I could find another 400 squares of the stuff.
There was more protective white stuff, I took my time. I didn't want to rush. I was enjoying the Smell too much.
You know like when you were a kid and used to get the big shopping Catalogues, they would smell new and freshly printed. Even now when I see a beautiful woman in sexy lingerie, I can smell catalogue. Is it just me?
I wanted to hold on to this moment, when I new I had somthing special, and was not yet dissapointed.
Out she came, my new lady friend. She has be female, she is beautiful. She may not be totally pure (I rescued her, she came "Refurbished") but she is to me. OK, there is some slight wear, but you would have to be a real picky twit to worry about the ever so slight marks on her gleaming white body.
She feels soft, yet firm. Smooth and cool. I new I could warm her up, heck I would get her Hot. Just not too hot I hoped. My last laptop used to get so hot it would iron my jeans.
I couldn't wait any longer, I had to press my finger on her button, I could hear her moan as she started to waken. Right from the box, she came with power. I was pleased, no, I was exstatic, when she looked at me. Begging me to play with her, she would light up in places I didn't know excisted.
She let me know when I put my fingers in the right place, showing me talents I wasn't aware of. The things she could do, I wanted to stay with her all night, I didn't want to got to bed, I could play with her in my room.
The attention to detail is what made me go wow. Everything from the Power supply having an extention, to the Track pad two finger scroll trick, the Sleep button that works and the battery having its own power indicator. Little things that all add up, I couldn't stop playng with her, but I had to, she was spent.
It had taken me 4 hours and 30 minutes to leave her gasping. It was time to give her what she need the most, so I got it out and had to figure out where to stick it, the power cable has an end that is magnetic and she found the place herself.
First the light on the plug was green then glowed orange to show that my beautiful mac is charging. So I let her rest, I would play with her again the next day.
It didn't take long, but I am seriously in love with this georgeous piece of tech. We know why it has taken so long for me to get one, but now really seems to be the right time.
PC's drive me insane, everything I hated about mine, doesn't seem to happen on my mac. This is what I needed, to be able to compute and have fun at the same time. I don't play games on either machine I mean work. I am enjoying working on my mac.
Not all of my programs are loaded on the mac, I think I am going to keep her light and fast. Use her for fun stuff, the PC can do the business stuff, the letters, receipts, invoices, email all that.
The mac can do my images, video, audio, blogging, email, surfing etc...
I was really stressed the last few weeks, I needed to chill out. I bought the mac because I was desperate. I am so glad I did.
My creative side is free once more. mac has changed my life, now I just have to break the news to my PC.
Just one thing, do I really need a .mac account?

Too much paperwork
When will it end, where is this paperless office I was promised 20 years ago?
I have stock to take and books to keep, its nearly the end of our financial year and am I ready for the next one?
The phone is off the hook, so forget calling me this week. The website is merrily taking orders though, to be fullfilled next week.
I'm so glad I use recycled paper or I would feel so guilty.
Now I want an electric car too, something like the GM EV1, only that hasn't been crushed into oblivion by evil doers.
You see, I watched the movie this week "Who Killed The Electric Car" and I'm gutted that such a great car would be destroyed because of greed.
See the film, it does for the Petrochemical Industry and Car Manufacturers what "Super Size Me" did for Burgers.
Did I mention I need a break...

Where's Rosie?
We thought finding a new carpet for our house would be difficult, but then our little girl Rosie just vanished.
Where could she be? She is so good at hiding.
At least we found a nice carpet.

Robosapian's pet Panda
This little dude is a seriously demented Panda. It senses movement, touch, speech etc and tells weird hippy stories about being in space and flying up and down. He says he likes it when you play with him...
Just what every kid needs, a psycotically deluded pet to keep them quiet.
Great fun and a real laugh, can't wait to se the finished product!
Its those wacky folks at Wow Wee that are to blame, bless em, they're all quite potty you know!
They also brought us the singing Elvis head, who is nothing more than the chimpanzee head in disguise with a sound track.
They did have a remote control flying dragonfly that looks amazing.
I will add some movies of them in action when I return.

Breakfast with Envy
You know the saying "you get what you pay for"?
Its true when it comes to the breakfast buffet at the new resturant "Envy" at the Rennassance.
I've just had the best omlette in years, along with bacon, sausage and the usual suspects that come with such a meal.
Jane is enjoying her second bowl of fruit. We got a doggy bag full of muffins, bagels, Danish and fruit so we are set for the day and should have enough left over to feed the poor.
Hey, you got to get your money's worth!.
So now we are ready for our second day at the ces.
Today we are going to visit Nokia to try the new N95 and we will be meeting up with our old friend "Asimo" at the Honda stand.
We may even checkout the animated, singing Elvis head. A lot like the Billy Bass singing fish, but really does look like the king of rock and roll and could be yours for only $350.
I'll post a photo when I find it.
No great surprises as yet, but I am looking. One thing I have noticed is that the quality of products has improved greatly. Even the tat is highly finished these days.
PVP's have got smaller and will allow the user to watch movies on a device as small as a box of matches. You got to have good eyes for those.
Digital photo frames are everywhere, some have Bluetooth, others have WiFi. Capable of sucking the images directly from your phone or PC respectivley.
Right, now for some french toast and another coffee and maybe one more muffin.

Cirque du Soleil "Love"
A Beatles fan I am, but really, who isn't?
The show LOVE at the Mirage was fantastic, well worth the weeks wages it cost me. You don't often get the chance to see a show so well devised, choreographed & performed. So sod the expence (groan).
The dancers, acrobats and gymnasts were awesome and more importantly the Beatles soundtrack sounded out of this world.
All the tunes have been remixed and digitised into full 7.1 surround sound through over 6100 speakers (3 in each seat!) plus the big ones around the purpose built theatre.
No "acts" as one would expect, but an amazing trip without chemical enhancement!
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed it, only to recommend it to any Beatles fan visiting Vegas.
A word of warning though, it is not the end of the world if you don't get a front seat like we did. Anywhere else will do, and for less than half the price. Though we were right next to the action, we did miss quite a bit (like watching a 100" plasma with your nose on the screen!
I'd like to congratulate eveyone involved with the show, you should be very proud.
My little girls would have loved it, ill just have to get the DVD when its release.
Verdict 10/10
PEACE MAN

Starving on the Strip.
By the time we caught a bus to the hotel, it was 3pm local time (11pm uk) and though tired, we are hungry.
The only place I wanted to be right then was the Cheesecake Factory, stuffing my face with a BBQ bacon cheeseburger (are last visit) ive waited a year for another one!
So here we are crossing the strip over to the Bellagio. that's Paris in the background.
How do we look?

Breakfast at Benny's
It took us 2 hours to get to Gatwick from Bristol. We had checked in online last night, when we arrived we breezed through check in.
So we have time on our hands to eat.
Just had a fantastic "American" breakfast at Frankie & Benny's here at gatwick airport. The waitresses were full of smiles and most helpful. It was cheap too (in comparison to everywhere else round here.)
We'll be boarding soon, and as I have a very full belly, I might get some sleep (and ignore the inflight breakfast)
Got my copy of Stuff Mag to read on the plane (when I wake up after 10 minute sleep),
I get it to test myself. If I don't already know about 95% of the gadgets in there, I flaggelate myself!
Onward to Vegas.
Love you to the stars and back Molly & Rosie x x x x
(granddad will be reading this to them each night at bed time :o)
Thanks mum and dad!
