Clock Block Screensaver

One of the guys at work has this really cool screensaver setup on his machine just now.

It's basically a clock but the way it's been made is really clever.

I've installed it at home now but I thought "what the hell" I'll stick a link to it on the blog so everyone can have a nosey :)

So here you go - Clock Block

I just got these cool new DVD's through the post yesterday. They're basically screensavers for your DVD player but with a cool twist.

There are three different themes out just now but all you do is stick the DVD in your player and then sit back and watch as your television turns into your very own little fireplace, aquarium or bird cage.

I've bought us the fireplace and aquarium versions but see if you turn the lights down, put a bit of music on and turn the fire on it strangely feels like you've got one in your living room AND no mess to clean up afterward :) Bonus!!!!

Julie found them a little while back after a couple of her friends recommended them for babies. Apparently they're just hypnotised by the movement of these things and keeps them amused for hours. It must beat the traditional "putting them in-front of the washing machine" trick for the parents as well.

If you're interested I bought them over at Play for £6.99 each. Not a bad price really considering how much it costs to get a real fireplace/aquarium setup.

Bit of a busy "Spring" clean this week.

Had the dry cleaner round yesterday to gut all the carpets followed by the "new" couch v2 turning up this morning. Quite nice timing actually.

Thank god that it actually fitted this time as well. I was quite nervous when they first turned up with it.

Here's a wee picture of what all the fuss has been about. Great for those cosy nights in :)
 

Now that we've got that out the way we can look at putting the Christmas tree up (hooray, says Julie).
