It has become apparent to me that the current site layout, which is basically a hastily
modified free template I found somewhere, is... rather underwhelming, shall we say. I've decided to try my hand at cascading style
sheets and rebuild
the site from scratch. Well, I've decided to try, anyway. Depending on how it goes, I might just end up
using another template, though in this case I'll make sure to choose one that sucks less.

A rechargeable LED flashlight for the car that's always ready to use.

Review: More cheap LED flashlights
A small, very bright LED flashlight running on mildly exotic batteries and a medium power one running on common AAs. Any good?

Firepower pill censorship attempt
Automotive snake oil manufacturer Firepower hasn't
much liked fellow reviewer Daniel Rutter's exposition of their scam. They first threatened to sue him and
sent him a "results" PDF file which
they told him to publicise in order to avoid legal action.
Then, since he wasn't particularly convinced, they sent him a report.
After that, too, was thoroughly debunked, they apparently decided it wasn't so good that their PDF
was linked from him, and told his blog's hosters to force him to remove the links.
Acting like any censorship hater worth his salt would, he's made the file available anyway on his site, and he's asked for help
with the Streisand effect.
I'm rising to the call, being a censorship hater myself. Here's the Firepower PDF.
Download and spread at will. Anything you can do against censorship is good.
Good luck Dan!

Review: Cheap LED flashlights
Can flashlights that cost about as much as a large ice cream be any good?

Let's get back to work
It's been more than a year since I last put any content online. And to think I was hoping of having a good
number of reviews up by now! Alas, when family calls, one can't always do what one wants... but I'm
back now, the family issue is solved (although not quite in the way I'd hoped) and with any luck I can resume work on the site. For starters, here's a new review!

Review: Acer MP330 mp3 player
Cheap. Large capacity. Featureful. Where's the catch?

Still no mail, still no links
I had a lot of work to do and had to take a trip, so I couldn't work much on the website. I can't figure out why some of the
mails get redirected, while others don't. There doesn't seem to be any pattern. Oh well, the gmail account is still there. Also, I'm starting on the interesting and friendly links. Bear with me.

Work is progressing slowly but steadily
I've updated the digicam piece.
I also added an email address to the menu on the left. I'm currently trying to understand
why the @technfun.com addresses provided by my hosting service aren't working as they should. Until I do, I've opened a temporary gmail account. Feel free
to mail me!

Tech'n'Fun goes online!
I've been wanting to do this for a while, but all sorts of problems forced me to keep delaying it. No more: here is my new website!
I'll work out the kinks and get the links working in a few days. Stay tuned!

DIY modification: increasing voltage to your digicam for fun and profit
The digicam in this picture looks weird, but works rather better than it did when it looked normal. Read on to find out why,
and why you may want to do the same to yours.

Review: "Extreme technology" nameless 4GB mp3 player (aka GoDot M8470)
A cheap MicroDrive mp3 player with a quirk or two but with lots of redeeming features.
Be advised review is outdated; I meant to start this website months ago with this review as its first article, but
events I couldn't control forced me to delay it.
