The Hauppauge HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition is a high definition recorder, designed for creating your own personal game play videos and for sharing online via Youtube, Twitch or even Twitch Live Streaming, or simply showing your friends whilst at home. According to the retailer at Tech Inventory the PVR 2 records footage from your gaming console and downloads directly straight to your pc or laptop using HD H.264 format. The unit requires installation of the ArcSoft ShowBiz Suite, which is included with the Hauppauge HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition purchase. ArcSoft ShowBiz Suite will capture your real-time game play, and edit previously recorded games, though, it is worth taking into account there are better video editing applications on the market. ArcSoft ShowBiz Suite does have a wide range of video conversion tools as well. 

 The current generation of gaming has seen thousands of video uploads to YouTube and other social networking websites. Short films made by gamers showing off their skills, usually showing First person and Third person shooters. This unit is a birth product of the gaming revolution, and is of no surprise to me that such a gadget should rise from the evolution of video games. 

 PVR 2 sounds like the gamers dream accessory, it looks good, and does exactly what it says on the tin. The unit records directly to your PC and stores data automatically much like Garmin Swim does. The PS3 connector has to use its older more out of date component cable, whilst the Xbox uses its HDMI connection. This is apparently due to Sony making it illegal to do so, but it is more likely Sony simply couldn’t be bothered to contest against Microsoft; hopefully, this will change with the introduction of the next generation consoles that are rumoured to be hitting the market in the next year.

At first glance this just appears to look like any other digital watch. However upon closer inspection we realise that this could be the best swimming product since the invention of goggles. Garmin have designed this fabulous little swimming aid that can really help to improve your technique and assist your concentration whilst in the water. Garmin swim is a swimming tool that counts the laps you do whilst you concentrate on your strokes and speed. The little accessory has a sleek design which cuts through the water so it won’t slow you down, and you can replace the battery yourself around once a year as per the manufacturer.

Garmin Swim has an easy to use basic interface so anyone can use it. Once on your wrist you simply input the size of the swimming pool your about to use and it automatically calculates the amount of lengths you swim. Also with Garmin swim you can input swimming drills and find out how fast you pace yourself through the water. Another great feature is that Garmin Swim is also a watch and an alarm can be set, and to help you stay motivated it displays your weekly accumulated distance under time of day.

A newborn baby is a bundle of joy, a heap of happiness, and for most of us, a stressful, tiring, pooping, crying and milk guzzling machine.

Flo Rida – Good feeling

This is, personally an amazing music video, probably one of my all time favourites. Not only is the song very catchy, bouncy and makes you want to move but the video is very tech heavy and we get to see what someone like Flo Rida use’s all these different bits of kit for. The video includes super cars, some very cool looking exercise equipment and some fashionable clothing.

The top 5 baby products I couldn’t live without

I really wanted to write a quick review on the top 5 baby products that I currently own. Seeing as my son was born just over a week ago, I was hoping to provide some basic advice. Now I must say thanks to some of these products some of my greatest fears have been laid to rest. The bottle steriliser that only requires 90ml of water and 4 minutes in the microwave and the baby monitor that displays the baby’s body temperature, and heart rate. Here are just a few amazing pieces of baby kit that I think all parents should consider investing in.

Ok, so here is one of the most convenient pieces of baby kit that I own. The Tommy Tippee bottles and steriliser is ideal for those who don’t have a great deal of time on their hands. Once all the bottles are clean, you simply pour 90ml of water into the main body, place the lid back on and insert into your microwave for 4 minutes. You should allow an extra minute to allow the steam to escape from the vents which are located in the centre of the lid, before extracting one of the bottles. The inside of the steriliser includes the base and a removable tray which house's four bottle shaped grooves to place the bottles and a further four stantions with grooves for fitting either dummies or the teets. All in all this is a very good product that I rate 10/10. The bottles are durable, and it’s all very easy to clean and to use. I recommend to all.

Now this is simply an amazing piece of kit, one of my very good friends bought this as a baby present for me. This is the Angel Care Sound and movement monitor, which also tells you your baby’s heart rate and body temperature. It has the ability to monitor the sound made by your infant and will alarm if it picks up any irregularities. The pad itself should be placed underneath the Childs sheets and mattress on a hard rigid surface. The pad is attached to the nursery unit which the odd looking triangular shaped gadget pictured above. It is here you can set the sensitivity of the pad and the transmission of sound is received. Now, in my bedroom we have the pad and the nursery unit placed at the bottom of the bed and the receiver unit placed at the head. The receiver unit displays temperature, heart rate and volume; this is also where the alarm, should anything go wrong goes off.

So here is another look at some outlandish concept designs of some "would be" gadgets and technology. I believe it’s important for us as the consumer to discuss what we want from the big manufacturers so that we push tech to new limits and achieve greatness. I mean, I want to see a completely robust and waterproof smart phone with solar re-gen technology installed to re-charge. I want to play with a remote controlled tank that can do everything a real tank can do. I’m sure some people would want a toilet that cleans itself or parents wanting a pram or a bouncer that monitors the baby heartbeat and temperature, that alarms when any abnormalities are detected. Alas, Let me digress, I want to show you some designs that have been shown to me in the last few days that I’m just dying to speculate on.
