Bumblebee’s Sure To Dominate Gifts Lists

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

With two male kids in our house - my son (5) and husband (42 going on 5) you can be sure that this Christmas is going to be dominated by Transformers. My two fellas went off to see this film during the summer holidays for some of that ’special male bonding’ time and have not stopped raving about it. In fact somehow I got notification from Amazon the other day that the film is on ‘confirmed order’ when it is released. I just hope that those two have got my Christmas gifts as organised.

Why Do iWant an iPhone?

Wednesday, December 12th, 2007

Over the last three years Redbows has grown dramatically - we have got busier and busier, employing more staff with an ever more complex supply chain to manage. Now, my team want me to update my little old diamonte clam-shell phone to something called an iPhone. So I can be always in touch, on demand and have everything at my finger tips. Well I am no techno dummy but I just could not fathom what the fuss was all about till I went into my local O2 shop. Wow! When you see this gadget in the flesh and touch that screen you can see that it is an absolute winner. Sadly for me (and my team) the catch is that it is not a G3 phone and so therefore only really becomes powerful when you can connect to a wireless hotspot of which there are over 7000 in the UK - unfortunately there are very few where I live. So for now I am going to rely on my little clam phone. It does exactly what it says - it phones and when I do not want to talk it clams….well it gives me that little bit of strategic thinking time that all busy working mums, internet entrepreneurs and senior executives need from time to time.
