Hasta La Gadget!

You know when it gets sweltering hot, and the mercury does not seem as though it is going to stop rising anytime soon, that you would want nothing better than to have the air condition turned on at full blast at the lowest temperature possible, in addition to checking out whether there are other short summer getaways which lets you experience a cooler temperature – such as high up in the mountain ranges or the like. Of course, should that not be an alternative for you, the next best thing would be to indulge in ice cold drinks and ice cream, but eating premium ice cream can be rather expensive, which is why sometimes DIY solutions get our vote. Case in point, the £24.99 Ice Cream Ball that comes in blue and pink shades, targeting both male and female genders, respectively.

This definitely offers an opportunity for you to say that making ice cream is but a snap. After all, the only thing that you need to do is roll a ball, how difficult could that be? Each Ice Cream Ball allows you to churn out an entire pint’s worth of delicious ice cream, and it ensures that during a zombie apocalypse, you would be able to still make ice cream since no batteries or electricity is required, just good, old-fashioned hand power. Basically, just throw in your ice cream ingredients in one end, cram some ice and rock salt in the other, and then go ahead and play with the ball. If you have a dog that is large enough, the more adventurous among you might want to play fetch, but it is not recommended at all.

Fans of the Doctor Who series would definitely have watched the shows many times over, so much so that some of those who are more engrossed might actually go down the path of collectibles, which is fine if you are single, but often to the chagrin of your other half because “good money” is deemed to have been wasted on such collectibles. Perhaps you need to travel back in time so that you can find a spouse who is equally in love with the Doctor Who series as you, which is why you decided to pick up the £69.95 Tenth Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver Universal Remote Control, no?

It does not matter what gadget you want to control, be it the TV, iPod, or other compatible devices, you can do so with multiple gestures. There is a quartet of modes in the Tenth Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver Universal Remote Control that will allow you to become a fully-fledged Time Lord – in your own mind, at least. Built to a 1:1 scale, this is a true blue replica that does more than just sit pretty on a display shelf, where it was made by 3D scanning of David Tennant’s Tenth Sonic Screwdriver. Being an officially licensed collectible by BBC Worldwide, who knows, it might be worth something many years down the road. The universal remote control part of this collectible can be used with up to 39 remote control codes at any one time, now how about that?

You can more or less say that IKEA has popularized the notion of packing everything flat, and I love the way they advertised their flattest package yet – the IKEA gift card. Surely you are unable to get any more thinner than that, can you? Well, here we are with what could be deemed to be a modern day marvel – a SLR camera that you assemble yourself. Wait a minute here, you say, aren’t these things supposed to be assembled on a production line somewhere in the world? Well, perhaps, but there is a certain satisfaction that comes with building things using your own bare hands, right? The £34.99 Konstruktor DIY SLR camera offers “flatpack photography” for those who love tinkering around with stuff.
It comes with clear and simple instructions, but even so, it is estimated to take anywhere from one to two hours in order to build your own camera. Once you are done with the task, it remains up to you to do up the external aesthetics, where you can rely on stick on leather detailing thanks to the included sticker sheet. One ought to note that Lomography is the one behind the Konstruktor DIY SLR Camera, but just remember that this is no digital camera. Rather, it will rely on classic 35mm film.

The iPhone’s camera throughout the smartphone’s several generations has long been quite the high end model among its rivals, but it is encouraging to see that both Windows Phone 8 and Android camps have finally caught up – and even surpassed the iPhone’s photo taking capabilities, leveling the playing field somewhat in this aspect. Having said that, you cannot deny the fact that there are plenty of iPhone users out there who are also fans of the device, and some folks even figured out that their iPhone cameras are good enough for capturing beautiful moments. Why not bring your homegrown filmmaking talent to the next level with the £179.99 Swivl? The Swivl basically turns you into a one-man film crew.

It will allow you to capture all those precious memories for posterity in a professional looking manner, regardless of whether you are shooting some action sports, a family member making a presentation, or even the neighborhood blockbuster film, the Swivl will still get the job done as it automatically follows your every move. It is fully automated and makes use of motion-sensitive tracking technology, delivering full 360º horizontal-rotation and +10º/-20º vertical movement. It works its magic by tracking the ‘Marker’, which so happens to be a small lightweight sensor which you clip onto clothing or hold in your hand, letting the Swivl base unit to home in on your exact position. This means whenever you move, Swivl will move with you (or your subject, depending on where the Marker is clipped). The Swivl Marker also has another function – to be a iOS Digital Microphone so that your productions are always filled with crystal clear audio.

Bluetooth-enabled speaker bars seem to be dime a dozen these days, so what are you as the discerning consumer who always wants to stretch the value of your hard earned money to its maximum to do? How about checking out the £69.99 Zooka Bluetooth Speaker Bar that will arrive in black and red color choices? The Zooka Bluetooth Speaker Bar will be able to pump out your favorite music, audio cues from games as well as deliver tub-thumpin’ audio from the movies you love sans pesky wires, while a built-in kickstand is guaranteed to raise your device to a viewing angle that is agreeable to your neck and eyes.

It will play nice with a wide range of tablets, notebooks and smartphones, while the outer layer material that we know of as silicone makes the Zooka Bluetooth Speaker Bar near indestructible, although do not expect it to be able to withstand the clenched fist of the Incredible Hulk or Thor’s Mjolnir. Since it hooks up via Bluetooth, do expect it to be limited to a range of 30 feet, with an 8 hours playback time.
