somehow I always find myself going to London sometimes for no reason other than looking. I can quite happily wake up, head into London and spend it walking around, looking at gadgets. I quite like heading into Oxford Circus, because there is a lot to see there - especially at the Apple store. Also, I quite like the National Geographic Society store as well as Selfridges. I think outdoor gadgets are the best. Then again, I'm always looking at technology and computers.

I'm off to do the same today. I might be persuaded to buy a cover for my phone but probably won't.

if you don't want to blow your ear drums (because that's not cool) on your morning run into work via the tube network. One suggestion. don't listen to to Rock. if all the music on my iPod - it's rock that you HAVE to turn up to really hear it properly. other music you can hear quite reasonably without cranking up the volume until your eyes pop out of your head. I'm thinking it's probably dude to the dependence of rock on background music and fuzz which quickly gets drowned out by the sound of the tube - so you turn it up.

don't hurt your ears - you'll only feel the hurt in 20 years time.

dropped my iPhone for the first time since buying it. it was no less on solid granite. also to make it worse - I've opted for no cover - which makes drops more..."aaaahhh" but I got through it, so did my phone. no a scratch. I'm very proud of it.
