Introducing the UDOO Neo – Tech Stuff for Baffled Parents
As any geek parents will know, the original UDOO board was pretty amazing. It was the next logical step on from the fabulously ground-breaking Raspberry Pi, and combined the Pi with Arduino, letting you run the tiny computer as well as control electronic projects. Well, this year the people behind UDOO created a new kickstarter – the UDOO neo. It includes the Raspberry Pi and an Arduino board as before, but this time...
How does pregnancy affect your vision?
My pregnancy days are sadly a way behind me now – the last time I grew a small human bean was over 8 years ago now (how the heck can that be?). But you never forget how, do you?

But actually, it’s not that I don’t love chocolate. I really do. But what I love is not just...
I have fallen for a bike. It’s PRETTY.
I need a new bike. My current bike is a magnificent Muddy Fox which I inherited from my Brother in law – 20 years ago. It’s fabulous, and a classic, and an excellent bike which I have no right to replace, really… but it’s old, and past its best, and really Not Very Pretty. So every now and again I meander through the bike shops, oohing at the lovely bikes that I’d really really like to own instead. I...

Clap hands everyone – Jones Bootmakers have a sale on! I know. Totally more happy-making than looking out the window at the alleged British Summer that is not happening outside.. Here’s our top picks: What I would call ‘bumpers’ – just how brilliant are these Clarks Pictor Sky canvas shoes?
