So when Kodak suggested he might like to try the Easyshare out, we snapped their hand off (snapped? Geddit? Oh, I make me smile sometimes…) This was, it turned out, a perfect choice! We didn’t really look at the whole sharing options for him (being 8, he’s not big on...

Bestest Christmas Gift guide – Razor Ultra Pro Lo, the big boy of kick scooters
I have three boys, and they are all mad keen on the skate park. But. (*whispers*) They’re all a le-e-tle bit afeared of the whole skateboard thing. No, they’re all MUCH happier when they have a handle to hang on to.
