About this Member

Just wondering, does anyone on here have a high resolution image of the dooyoo logo?? thinking of making it into a t-shirt, just msg me if you do, ta

I don't gamble, but I thoroughly enjoy a deadly bidding battle on ebay :), I sincerely apologize to those of you if I ever sent you a msg teasing you about my victorious bid.
I absolutely hate being misled, especially when I buy gadgets, simple and easy to use it says on the advert, more like break it and chuck it out the window. ;(
I don't think that high speed is a luxury, its more like a basic human right. I'm currently stuck on dial-up, don't get me started.I even wrote/adapted a song for it

"Thank you for the internet, the websites I'm seeing
Thanks for all the joy they re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a podcast or a blog what are we?
So I say thank you for the internet
For giving it to me"

I also enjoy fixing non functional electronic boards/circuits, and sometimes end up with quite cool designs that may seem odd, my best piece is called a T-board, which I had incorporated a functional keyboard on a t-shirt, honestly it belongs in an art gallery rather than Logitech's next product range for keyboards.

As a customer, I'm probably excessively demanding, which makes me seem like a mony and grumpy person. Whilst most people would enjoy and be content with their new products/purchases, I on the other hand would subconsciously try to find potential faults/issues/downfalls that could annoy/buy me in the future. Again I apologize if you are one of the many people that has had to deal with me as a customer

I'm quite open minded about generic/brand less products made by smaller companies, because occasionally, only occasionally, they do come up with quite substantial products, that live up to the standards of more expensive and well known brands.

Being a gadgetholic, I spent most of my time messing around with them. Especially during Christmas, you might mistake my place for a courier depo, with the constant flow of delivery trucks. :)

Personally, I think that products should also be judged on how eco friendly they really are. Being a Product Design student myself, I feel that ergonomics, aesthetics and technology is important, but the ability to recycle the product is nevertheless still important.

I am currently waiting on news to check whether I have arthritis in my hands, so everyone wish me luck :$. Some of the reviews are done by me initially on paper and scanned using OCR, I do double check them to make sure they are scanned accurately, but sometimes :-(. Anyway its an absolute lifesaver since I'm not too keen on typing, and btw, I use also speech recognition via a Bluetooth headset and its gr8 :-)~

I think it be pretty cool to win some crowns (Gotta Catch'em All) :-9, , since I'm crap at sports or other physical stuff. Make way for the king of dooyoo :'-)
You are more than welcomed to msg me, to say hi or to get help on something.

August Resolution****
I feel that I should start working out and doing physical activities more often.
Need to start use the money from selling old gadgets to pay for gym membership :(, instead of buying even more gadgets :$

Note* I'm not anti-social; I'm just not user friendly lol

One final note, If at first you don't succeed, just call it version 1.0

l8r, guys & gals
