MP3Gain cures the annoying LOUD and soft music tracks problem [Daily Freeware]
I’ve started to use my phone as a music player much more nowadays, especially when I bike down to the shops or whatever (yes I’m careful not to shut out traffic noise!). One of the thing I’ve noticed though, is how annoying it is when different tracks play at different volumes. I’m not just talking about quiet tracks, but also tracks which should be loud but which aren’t for some reason (probably because I ripped them poorly from my CD).
Read MoreFinish My Projects is a great way to recycle your cool ideas
Everyone gets a great idea once in a while, in the shower, while out with friends, maybe during a movie. But often the realization of that idea proves to be just too tricky or expensive or time consuming, and so the project languishes in the corner of a shed or your mind. As someone once said, ‘ideas are easy, it’s the execution that counts’.
Read MorePlug Out Outlet Organizer keeps your plugs at the ready
There is always that one room that has only one outlet that is convenient to all the things you need to plug in.

Inflatable Walk On Water Mat might make you seasick
We’ve all pretended to do it at least once. Putting a foot on the very top of the water, making it look like you could certainly stand erect on it if you put your other foot down. Seeing as we all know what happens when you actually try to stand on water, wouldn’t it be awesome if you actually could?

USB Locket puts your most important files close to heart
It seems that our world is becoming more and more digital. Most if not all paper products seem to be things that are past rather than present, including photographs.

Brow Stretcher fights face wrinkles while you sleep
We all try our best to get our beauty rest, but sometimes it’s just not enough. We can only fight the effects of aging so much with just sleep alone. It’s true that diet and exercise can help with all that, but sometimes you need a little outside help.

AnyBook Reader lets you read your child stories from afar
Some parents are on the go a lot of the time. While it keeps a roof over family’s head and food on the table, it is really annoying to not be able to be around your kids every waking moment.

Kalkhoff 24ah Lithium Battery extends standard electric bicycle range to 200 km
Electric bicycles are definitely becoming more popular as a form of commuter and leisure transport. They’re relatively cheap, very economical to run and have the added benefit of improving our health at the same time as we travel.
