Today is Women’s No Pay Day. Its a day to make people aware that (as you see above) on average 17% of women are paid £4000 less than their male counterparts, thats the same as working for free from October 30th till the end of the year.

So please join in Fawcett and Unison’s campaign to make people aware, and fight the blatent sexism that still happens in some workplaces. If you can, print of flyers from the website, tell people about the day or just be aware of it. And be sure to sign the online petition.

I’m not sure the Hipster PDA will work with children but you sure can try!

Barely a day old and already got her own URL

First item on take IT away is a Nokia DKU-2 USB connectivity cable.
This was previously used for some old phone that I traded in and now is useless to me. In perfect working order.

For your chance to get this for free, leave me a comment.
Thanks

I recently saw over at Philoking that Jason had a launched a website Take My Tech, where he was giving away some tech bits and pieces for free. Shipping was being subsidised by Google AdSense so there was no reason to charge.

In that light, I’ve decided to start my own mini-Take My Tech. I’ll be offering up some bits and pieces I have accumulated over the years and offering them to you, the reader for free.

If you want the item, then just leave a comment, and supply a valid email address and you could get it.

Jason was going to 100 comments then choosing a random winner. For the sake of the low readership, I’ll keep it to 10 for the start. If it gets popular, then I might increase it.

So stay tuned for some free stuff!

Sorry! Its been too long since I’ve blogged the Douglas Furs action. We’ve been practicing! I promise. And we even recorded. It’s been 6 months since our last recording session and we were itching to get back in the saddle. Its just a shame it wasn’t as good as I hoped. Don’t get me wrong, the session went well (I haven’t listened to the results yet though) but it wasn’t as smooth as our previous session.

So I’ll be spending this weekend cutting up tracks to throw into iTunes and probably upload to Virb or somewhere. I’ll be sure to let you all know where to find them.
