SlingBox, a device of wonder to a self-confessed Luddite.

What a marvelous device the SlingBox is.

Thanks to the wonder that is the internet combined with my generous US-based brother buying said Slinging device I now not only have free access to decent, live coverage of the NHL (more specifically, the Detroit Red Wings) but I also have a whole range of ‘extreme’ sports channels available to view from the comfort of my living room.

Are there any other technical wonders that I should be on the look out for in the 21st century or is that about the most of it?

spinning jenny?

or how about the adjustable seatpost ? (have you tried your cheapy US one properly yet?)
