Now that summer’s here, our thoughts quite rightfully turn to important matters like beachwear, vacation slots and all the fun that we can fit into a jolly at the seaside. The real action always takes place on the water of course, but it’s really a pain to have to lug a boat or other craft down to the water’s edge in order to indulge our desires.

Riding a bicycle is a great way to keep in shape, and helps you save on gas money. You need to make sure that you and your bike are sporting the proper gear to stay safe. At minimum, you should be using a helmet and reflective material/lights so that you can be seen in darker settings. While riding, you need to make sure that you are courteous to the vehicles around you by giving signals as to when you’re turning.

Learning how to play an instrument is rather difficult. On the same token, knowing how to play one and learning a new song is a task all its own. Repetitive practice is the only way to learn complex riffs, but it all comes down to muscle memory. The only problem is that you can’t always take your instrument with you during the day.

Those little bloodsuckers don’t just sting you and leave, they make you itch for days.

Having a carpet as a centerpiece in a room is nice, but one good spill of a darkly colored beverage and it’s ruined. The material can fray, the hue will fade, and it flattens out the more you walk on it. We all love hardwood floors, but you can’t just switch out from wall-to-wall carpet, can you?

Getting someone a card for a special occasion is the fallback that everyone uses. Even with good sentiments, it still isn’t a well thought out gift. If you like going the extra mile to make someone feel special, then you don’t just want to shove something generic at them.

We’ve all had those moments. The ones where the straw and the camel’s back meet, where reason is lost and all desire to live fades like a penguin’s flight plans. But every cloud has a silver carpet so they say.

Ever had the urge to print something while out and about? Something important, like a boarding pass or a mobile ticket? Frustrating isn’t it? And sometimes costly, since many airlines now charge you a penalty for forgetting to print off your boarding pass before reaching the airport (we’re looking at you Mr Stinky Ryanair).

We’re all subject to mood swings, no matter how old we are or where we live. Day to day, moment to moment there are things which continually affect our emotions, equilibrium and state of mind. It’s almost scary how random it all seems. But what if there was a way to work out why we feel like we feel, using nothing more exotic than our phone?

There’s no shortage of people willing to sell us video glasses, but the big difference nowadays is the fact that they’ve moved out of the dodgy covert spy bracket and into the action/lifeblogging market. Blame Google Glass if you must, because whatever the Big G does must be cool, right? Right?

Thanks to Pixar and Luxo Jr., we all know of adjustable desk lamps. Maybe it’s just me, but whenever I see them now, they seem sort of life-like. Of course, nostalgia kicks in for all of the movies that start out with Luxo Jr. showing up, and you can’t help but plaster a smile on your face. Can you imagine what it would be like to have one of those in your office?
