I buy lots of stuff, I love stuff, it's way better to have stuff than not to have stuff, but it's also better to have good stuff than crap stuff, and it's even better to have the best stuff.
Because of my massive collection of stuff and fussy requirements I think I'm qualified to write up about this stuff. My reviews will be different from your usual review, they will be extremely random, ranging from water bottles to computer gear to puzzles.
I'll be rating each product being reviewed, here's an explaination of the ratings -
11 - Unbelievably Good, and has more than you would expect
10 - Absolutely Perfect, nothing about this could be better
9 - Incredibly Excellent, does everything you expect it to, 1 or 2 things could have been better
8 - Very good, everything works
7 - Good, all the bits are there
6 - Not bad, but I woulda made it better
5 - Reasonable, just passes but has some stuff that really annoys me
4 - Pretty bad, some stuff doesn't work
3 - Bad, very poor at function, and/or reliability
2 - Really bad, nothing like what they say, doesn't do the job
1 - Crap, at least it catches dust
0 - Absolute Rubbish, who the hell made this?
I love being biased but will try not too, however expect overated stuff like Sony to be ripped for the sub standard stuff it usually is.

I got this Phone
 C'mon, as if you'd think I wouldn't have one, click through to read my review of the 8gb iPhone, which has been unlocked and fully activated to work in Australia on all non 3G networks.
An incredible phone with incredible features that will wow anyone who sees it.
The Most Advanced Keyboard
 A keyboard that looks super cool and really is 'advanced'. This little number has a built in trackpad so you don't need a mouse. It lights up with these totally excellent looking amber orangy lights when you press buttons and stuff, it recharges on a neat base station and is bluetooth!!!
I absolutely love this keyboard and use it nearly everyday!
Japanese Stone Water
 Water, pretty essential stuff really. Without it you're a goner, and soon too. Lately though it's become so complicated, and big business, with all sorts of water products 'flooding' the market, with added minerals and vitamins, electrolytes and hints of fruit, sparkling and still and even some in between. Then of course the problems with tap water that happen now like Giardia and what not.
Well fear not, we have a simple and effective solution, make your own mineral water with this cool kit.
X-Arcade Gaming Controllers
 Good ol' gaming equipment that you can thrash around like you're supposed to. There's nothing like playing an arcade classic they way they were designed to. Now you can, these heavy duty arcade controllers work on PC, XBOX, and Playstation.
Playstation 3 takes on the XBOX 360
 The 'Next Gen' consoles are here, both make numerous claims, both have pros and cons, both are in fact, pretty cool, but one is definitely better, I have both of course so read up one what I think, this review will be updated as often as I can as changes happen to each console.
A Portable Playstation
 A console that's nearly got the capability of a PS2, and it fits in the palm of about 1.5 your hands. This puppy plays games, videos, music, obviously pictures, has built in WiFi, can connect to your PS3, has a brilliant and vibrant screen, but is it usable?
Samsung Mobile
 Changing phones nowadays can be as frequent as renewing your insurance. The rate these things are being churned out and given away on plans etc. it's hard to stick to one device for more than a year.
After struggling with a bulky Sharp flip phone for a while I thought I'd try the latest rage at the time which was one of the super slim slide phones from Samsung. Here's what I thought
Share Your TV!
 Pay TV can be great, but because of the set top box having it in more than one room was a costly affair. Not anymore with this baby, send your foxtel, or any other video signal that has composite connections, over the air to another TV! This particular one works at 5.8ghz which is cool as your wireless network, bluetooth devices and stuff like your microwave and cordless phones will not interfere with the signal, and you can even change channels!
Harmonious Control??
 Changing the channel can, believe it or not, be a pretty stressful affair in this day and age. everything comes with a remote nowadays, DVD players, home theatre receivers, TV's, computers, radios, iPod speakers, gaming consoles, car stereos, even heaters and fans. Investing in a device that can take care of all these in one neat little package is worthwhile investment, but do they actually do the job?
HomerPuzzola!!
 You have to get one of these. That's all there is too it really, made by the official Rubik's company this puzzle looks easy but ends in hours of frustration and bewilderment, just like any good puzzle.
Socket CF Bluetooth
 Bluetooth, the must have tooth of today, this wireless standard is used all over the computing and mobile industry, not many computing or phone devices come out these days without this technology built in. When it's not there's a plethora of ways to add it, particulary to computers, here's a rather non-conventional way I tried. In short, avoid Socket.
Sofitel on the Gold Coast
 Hotels, expensive but fun. Expecting everything to be perfect at a place you pay over $150 a night to stay in isn't too much to ask I reckon.... or is it?
