My week with the HTC One M8

My week with the HTC One M8 Finally with no thanks to Vodafone, I got my HTC One M8. I’ll apologize in advance for the non-linear layout of this write up.

LUPO – Kickstarter

LUPO – Kickstarter There have been a couple of Kickstarter projects I have been really interested in and LUPO is another one I love the look of. It’s primarily a lost & found device but it is also much more. Firstly, it helps you find, track and recover lost items, but it also protects those items so you don’t lose them in the first place. You can set an anti-loss (out of ran...[Read More]

Link Bubble – Review

Link Bubble – Review We are lucky to be in a time where we have the internet, but also a time where a little black mirror allows you access to the internet wherever you are.

This can and will lead to a load of clickin...[Read More]
