![]() Pancake CompetitionFebruary 25, 2009 on 4:25 pm by Clare | In What are we doing? | Comment on this postYesterday afternoon here in the office we got onto the conversation of pancakes (well it was pancake day, why not?)
After lots of deliberating on how to make batter and the perfect method a few of us decided to put it to the test, so formed the gadgets Pancake competition. Rules were simple:
So now its time for you, the public to step in and take a vote! Which do you think is the best pancake? would you eat it or toss it? First up is Mandy. As from the photo shown, a nice neat rounded but flat tanned pancake. The Cheryl Cole of pancakes some might say! Perfect! Before you doubt….It has been confirmed that this is a ” from scratch ” pancake mixture made from home and not a pre made super market brand. I know what you’re thinking – “Hmm, how many did she do to eventually get this result?”
As for my entry I have to admit I had a little helper. (Not to pull on your heart strings mind you to swing the vote) Our pancake may not be pristine but we had fun and unlike some we actually tossed and flipped our pancakes. Ok some may have fallen on the floor and I’ve been picking mixture out of my hair since last night but I believe our pancake was best.
Last candidate is Dirk, he (like all of us) made the mixture from scratch! Admittedly he has stated that some lumps were formed whilst attempting to make the batter, also some sticking to the pan had commenced. Unfortunately for Dirk no photographic evidence was given to present to you. But never fear I have created what I would imagine to be an exact replica of his pancake….. he he…..
And so I leave it to you gadgets fans…. May the best woman win because lets face it, it’s not gonna be Dirk is it!?

That One Day…..February 12, 2009 on 4:05 pm by Clare | In Reviews | Comment on this postBeing a hopeless romantic I find it one of my favourite days of the year, one where you have romantic surprises and embarrassing (but yet so hinted) gestures of affection with flowers and balloons delivered to the office for all to see.

This website lets you create your own fonts using your own handwriting such as in the example below. Alternatively you can use symbols and shapes akin to the Windings fonts which are largely available to make up your own codes and ciphers.

What better solution to the packaging problem than a product that is the packaging?

Ahead!!!February 5, 2009 on 3:10 pm by Dirk | In News | Comment on this postIf you thought we had it bad earlier this week where some parts of the UK were experiencing their heaviest snow fall for 18 years, at least we didn’t have to contend with Nazi Zombies like the good folks of Austin, Texas in the USA.
