Read MorePeer pressure.
Peer2Mail. Got a web mail account? With lots of space? Then you might like this free little application which lets you use the spare space to store your files.

Read MoreWood burner.
The Woodflame Wood Burning BBQ. Clever clever. Forget about gas or nasty lumps of dirty charcoal, just forage for some tasty hardwood, chuck it in and let technology do the rest. Nice bit of maple cooked chicken…mmmm….! Requires 4 D batteries, A/C or car power. Around $229.00. The principle of the Woodflame burner overfeeds oxygen (contained in the air) to the combustion of wood.
