Ed Doolan with producer Anna

I have 8 hours to kill on a plane journey, so I thought I’d blog this while I remember…

I did my occasional radio show with Ed Doolan earlier in the week. We talked about gadgets, as usual, and I knew very little about many of them. But I think I express my complete ignorance in a very knowledgeable way, so they keep asking me back.

I showed off my new camera (yes, on the radio), talked about the effect of ringtones on wildlife, explained once again why Macs are better than PCs (though I couldn’t cover it all - it’s only a one-hour segment), and tried to convey the idea that if a gadget is advertised in a one-hour infomercial on a shopping channel, High Street retailers have never heard of it, and it sounds too good to be true… then you should probably avoid it.

If you’re quick, you can hear the show on the BBC’s Listen Again service. You’re looking for 11am, Wednesday 30th April.

The flight’s kind of dull. Though I quite enjoyed Cloverfield, which was the one in-flight movie that I was interested in seeing. I wish they’d feed us again.
