Tech Eye: Set your inner Greek geek free
Just ask Archimedes of Syracuse. While taking a bath he was struck with inspiration as to the principles of density and buoyancy. So excited was Archimedes by his discovery that he leaped from the bath and plunged headlong into the street in nothing but his birthday suit, all the while shouting "Eureka!"
We have a similar affliction, and it seems that rarely a week goes by without some earth-shattering notion entering our doused cranium. So powerful are these moments of insight that we immediately rush out to the world to pass on the dazzling revelation that has struck us down like a latter-day John the Baptist. Invariably these moments come while we are enjoying our own weekly sojourn in the bathtub, and much like Archimedes, the inspiration is so overpowering that we neglect to clothe our scaly behind before rushing to spread the good word.
The local fuzz have been very understanding, in no small part thanks to their frequent dealings with Uncle Preaching TechEye. He is also wont to spread the good word in the nude, though he prefers to do so from the nearest available pulpit or lofty vantage point, while thumping with all his might on his own version of the Bible (the emphasis is very much on Revelations and Uncle Preaching TechEye has even taken the liberty of anteing up some of the monsters and punishments on judgment day).
However, in the future our modesty, and so-far-spotless criminal record for the month of October, might be preserved thanks to the people over at iKey. They've come up with the iKey Plus portable USB recorder. This gizmo is designed to work with an iPod or any external USB storage device, and records live audio to MP3 or WAV format directly to a USB-compatible storage device in real time. Now you can let loose with all your most banal, hackneyed thoughts at the mere push of a button and keep them for posterity no matter where you are. Get yours for around zł.1,063, and pester your friends by recording them, playing their voices back and saying: "No, you really do sound like that."
