Balloonacy - The Internet’s First Balloon Race!

Have you ever taken part in a balloon race? Normally it involves releasing a balloon to travel the country and seeing where it manages to end up, however in the case of Orange they are running a competition for the next week to celebrate the fact that they are releasing their animal tariffs onto PAYG mobile phones.

Zath! is just one of the sites across the Internet that are taking part as a host for the balloon race as shown by this balloon on selected mobile phone related pages such as the Free Orange Sim Card page.

I persevered with it due to it’s increased features over my old mobile and it’s really grown on me, particularly the slide-out QWERTY keyboard which makes text input so easy, also the PC synchronisation with Microsoft Outlook is really helping to organise me much better as I can sometimes be a procrastinator if I allow things to overwhelm me.

What’s in Your Gadget Bag?

This question has been answered over at Connected Internet and Bill2Me and thought it I might answer it myself here. I have lots of gadgets, but which gadgets do I carry around on a daily basis?

Well it depends what I’m doing and where I’m going, but here’s a fairly typical list:
