Have you seen how cheap SD memory is?

Have you seen how cheap SD memory is?

£17.01 for this groovy 2GB one that converts into a USB key too:SD ULTRA II PLUS 2Gb

or £1.95 for this 1GB card:Kingston Technology 1GB Secure Digital (SD) Card

This is no doubt due to the imminent arrival of higher capacity SDHC cards (about £25.00 for 4GB).

City Link have lost my sat nav

My new Garmin Zumo is lost somewhere in City Link's system.

There has to be a joke in there somewhere...

Electrisave

I'm going to get an Electrisave Usage Meter from Amazon as it's £15.00 cheaper than from the Electrisave UK site.

Electrisave

Adam got himself an Electrisave over Christmas. It clips around the main electricity cable coming out of the meter and transmits usage information wirelessly to a desktop unit that you can move around the house. He reckons that with a bit of investigation work he's going to knock over 50% off his electricity bill as a result of knowing what costs what. The biggest culprit is devices on standby. A treadmill in the garage that looked turned off was costing 2p an hour on standby. Doesn't sound much but that's 48p per day which multiplied by 365 is £175.20 per year! That more that paid for the unit (about £65) and saved lots of greenhouse gas ;)

Watches

I've been looking at getting a new watch. Two candidates at the moment:

  1. The Junhans Mega 1000
  2. The Sony Ericsson MBW-100

Mmm...
