Cellphone carry bag

I always have a problem when it comes to carrying my cellphone around. I really do not like the cellphone wrappers like the Body Glove products and I also do not want to carry my cellphone in my pocket the whole time. Carrying it around in my pocket is not always comfortable and it limits what pants I can wear.

Now previously I bought myself a digital camera carry bag which could fit both my cellphone and my wallet. I would wear it like a normal carry bag over the shoulder but it looked a bit like a purse. I called it my 'Man Bag' but my wife called it my 'Man Purse'!

When it came to getting a new cellphone I decided to look around for something different this time to carry the cellphone in. I discovered this nice little digital camera carry bag from Golla. Thank goodness the digital cameras became smaller over the last few years, now my cellphone fits snugly inside the carry bag and it has a little space for my credit card and driver's license.

So now I do not need to carry my wallet with me the whole time and the carry bag is small enough not to look like a 'Man Purse' any more. Now it just looks like a Leatherman hanging from my belt.

The Goonies

A childhood favourite movie of mine, The Goonies. At long last my favourite online shop Take2 had stock and I ordered it. So now I only need to make time to watch it again. Will need some popcorn and a soda for this classic.

PS2 to PS3 converter

Since I am a PlayStation fanboy, I obviously had two PS2 game controllers, so when I bought the PS3 I decided not to spent more money on another PS3 controller. Instead I bought this PS2 to PS3 converter.

You plug the PS2 controller into the one side and the converter's USB plug into the PS3's USB port and that is it. Works like a charm, no setup procedure necessary.

So now I can play 2 player Bionic Commando ReArmed and soon Street Fighter IV or Soul Calibre IV.

Now all I need is a nice Fightstick, but it seems everybody is still out of stock.

PS3 Remote Control

After using the PS3 controller for a long while to watch movies, I decided to buy the PS3 remote control. The PS3 remote control is also more intuitive to people like my wife who is used to something like a DVD remote control.

The remote was not too expensive and it works via Bluetooth so there is no need to point the remote in the direction of the PS3 like with normal IR remote controls.

The form factor also helps a great deal. Game controllers aren't designed to be used as DVD remote controls.
