New Year, New Geek
SO THE DECORATIONS ARE PACKED AWAY( OR AT LEAST SITTING IN A BOX UNDER THE LOFT HATCH), ALL THE CHRISTMAS CAKE AND COLD TURKEY HAS GONE, AND LIFE IS FEELING PARTICULARLY... JANUARY-ISH?
Well thankfully the TechNinja has three inexpensive little ideas to kick start your 2017 and get you back out of the blues, and on your way to feeling better.
1) Get some rest!
Part of the reason for the post-Christmas downer is that we all party too hard, and sleep too little. The Irish have a saying: a good laugh and a long sleep are the best cure for everything. So after you ' ve finished chuckling at this article, why not grab yourself a wiki iMusic and catch up on your snooze time? This brilliant bit of kit allows you the greatest of all pleasures: listening to music in bed via a built-in speaker, and a simple audio socket that will fit most types of MP3 player, phone or tablet. If you lie on the pillow you will enjoy a sensible level of volume, but anyone else around you will not suffer the displeasure of second-hand music, unless you sing in your sleep, of course.
2) Get yourself fit again.
Yes yes, I know that people always say,“ New Year, new me,” and then quit the gym the second week; but as a geek who just feels like running sometimes, I ' m going to urge you desperately: exercise is a great way to feel great! And whatever particular flavour of exercise you opt for, this next gadget is going to be a great accessory in your quest for a leaner, meaner you.
The Stay Cool Ice Towel is the perfect gym partner, or the faithful friend on those lonely long-distance runs. One wetting under a tap, and the towel becomes practically as cool as Samuel L Jackson, as its thermoregulating tech absorbs moisture, circulates the water molecules, thus regulating the rate of evaporation, and lowering the towel ' s temperature.
3) Take up a new hobby
And what better hobby in the vast and splendid Kent countryside, than a round or two of golf! What ' s that you say? You ' re concerned you won ' t look the part, that you might lose a lot of golf balls and look a bit silly? Pah – easily solved. These golf ball finding goggles will not only make you look a bit like Tony Stark( unusual beard sculpting not included), but will filter the surroundings, making those cheeky rogue golf balls far easier to find.
They might even save you money on golf balls, because you ' ll probably be able to find other people ' s as well!
Have a great 2017!
