Some Things To Think About.........

What would it take to make a waterproof coat that kept you dry on the outside and on the inside?
I mean, come on, with all the technological advances in the world, this seems a rather archaic need.
But the sweatiness of a waterproof coat is nasty. It's sticky and unpleasant. It almost feels as if the water the coat is saving you from is somehow being pumped inside. Mmmmmm. Moist.

And whilst I'm sure there are coats out there that could keep out the Niagara Falls, I'm also sure of their £600+ price tag. So what about the bob-public? (Taking a change from Jo-public.) What are we supposed to do?

Take deodorant everywhere?
Take spare clothes with us, everywhere we go?
Wear a bikini/nothing underneath?

Come on waterproof scientist guys. Sort it out.

And whilst we're not really on the subject, what about wi-fi printers? I understand that the days of wires are long over and only cave men and retro tech enthusiasts still use them, but I have to say at least when your printer is plugged into the computer, it tends to understand straight away that it has to print something. All this, no wires, don't even have to be in the same post code, let alone the same room, just seems to confuse it. The information it's sending has to just float around in the air somewhere until it is blown towards the printer and then after twenty minutes or so, it realises what you want it to do.

It does slightly redeem itself with the speed at which it actually prints - once it acknowledges that's what you asked it to do 20 minute ago - but if its waiting around, chewing on its nails time could be shortened, that would be great.

No wires is of course remarkable and I still have no idea how the hell it works. It's magic! It's just hovering around somewhere in that proverbial 'cloud' of stuff - don't get that either - but it's magic and it's totally advanced, but for printers it's a tad slow and I want to say 'special'.

There's definite work to be done here.

Another short one from me. Can you believe it? Maybe I'm finally grasping this brevity nonsense. Maybe...
