Kids and expensive toys

I just found an interesting link this morning about how to buy a digital camera for your child (based on age). http://photo.tutsplus.com/articles/hardware/choosing-a-digital-camera-for-your-child-the-complete-guide/

It's very interesting & also very common sense and can be applied to any child's gift ideas, especially if you have younger children.

My son is two and already for the last year been using my iPhone for shooting videos. Although has little concept of what happens with the video, he loves watching the playback and any stills he takes.

If a child shows an interest in anything, I still think second hand is better on the expensive items where possible as they grow bored of toys & gadgets very quickly, I always did.

Hope people find this useful & I, as always, welcome comments :)

Joys of Miscellany

We are all unique in our own way, whether we have one passion in life, or many.
I've found over the years I have a bit of a "jack of all trades" lifestyle, I can turn my hand to anything I need to, but I do know many people who can only focus themselves to one or two talents, which is where mastery starts to kick in. If you focus yourself enough on just one task for long enough, you reach a certain level of perfection in that task.
Personally I think perfection is boring & it's the imperfections that make the world such an interesting place.
What do you all think?

Grab a bargain!

Just found this eBay shop & discovered a plethora of magical wisdom just waiting to be plucked by the right person.

There's something wonderful about the second hand market, the history of an item, the scent of a book, the wonder of by-gone-days.

Enjoy

Have a crazy new passion...

I realised how much adverts have affected me over the years, and wanted to share the memories with you at the Memorable Adverts blog.

It's amazing what I'm learning as I find things.

Playing Xbox via iPhone

I've been looking some bits & pieces up online about how some people want to play their Xbox through their iPhone as they don't have the Internet at home. There is a way, known as tethering, to get at least an Internet connection for the Xbox. If your service provider allows tethering, this is your best bet. Although often slow. Further information available here.

Another interesting new feature for Xbox/iPhone is the "SmartGlass" application to download for the iPhone. You can edit your profile and even control your Xbox 360 from your iPhone. Handy if you lose your game pad ^_^

In this current economic climate, everyone is struggling to scrape those last pennies together each month, I think I may have found an answer for myself and it may also work for you Inbox Pounds, they offer more than just survey completion or signing up for products or emails, they conglomerate a little of everything.

Been trying out some stop animation:
