When I was younger I had to wait until there was a carnival or fair in town to have a go on a bouncy castle. Nowadays, as you’ll see from this post, people are able to buy these for their own back gardens.

The Halsall Spiderman 3 Bouncy Castle is just that. A bouncy castle you can set up for your own kids to enjoy when ever they want (dependant on the weather obviously). The Halsall Spiderman 3 Bouncy Castle. This one is based on Spiderman 3 (obvious really from the title).

The Halsall Spiderman 3 Bouncy Castle is for the younger kids in the family though, so no adults allowed. Which is a shame really because we have so much fun on the trampoline once we’ve finished the barbecue.

Measuring 152 x 160 x 185cm, this is great for any child (3 or over) who aspires to be a super hero in their own right. They’ll have hours of fun playing out their fantasies on the  Halsall Spiderman 3 Bouncy Castle. This bouncy castle is great because it costs under £20, which is great on your pocket and will keep the kids quiet.

As I always say at the end of most of my posts, PriceGrabber have scoured the internet to find the best deals available, so that you don’t have to.

Tomorrow I’ll write about a great addition to your cooking utensil range, and one that is specially suited for this time of year.

Well, it’s definitely that time of year again because there are literally hundreds of kids playing and shouting around this area.

The schools closed last week so it is now officially the summer holidays. Six weeks off for the children and even more for the students. I remember when I was younger when we’d go away for day trips on the train to various parts of Wales. We never got to go abroad for our holidays as my parents were always working and couldn’t get the time off during the summer. We did go to London for a week once though. That was fun.

What I intend doing on this blog over the coming weeks is write about gadgets that will appeal to both adults and children alike. Obviously they will have a summer based theme. Although having said that and looking at the window, you’d think it was winter. There are heavy showers here at the moment.

I’m not actually going away anywhere this summer (or at least I don’t think I am) because of me relocating to another country. Don’t worry though, I’ll still be in the UK. I’m just moving from Wales to England to continue with my degree.

I hope you all enjoy what I have planned for this blog and that you find some inspiration for keeping the kids amused over the coming weeks be it sun or rain. There will always be a post here for you to look at, and hopefully be able to find something that catches your eye.

This new series of Torchwood (Series 3) was shown on BBC One a couple of weeks ago over five nights. The whole of Series three was just five episodes, but boy they were good episodes. In fact, it was probably the best series of Torchwood that I have seen.

I’ve been a big fan of Doctor Who for many, many years and this more adult orientated spin-off from that program complements it perfectly. Torchwood - Children of Earth is now available to own on DVD and Blu-Ray. The version I’m writing about here is the Blu-Ray version. I chose the Blu_Ray version because it’s packed with some great extra features. Things that you wouldn’t get on the DVD version and of course, its all in High Definition.

What I like about getting this on Blu-Ray is the ability to watch it all in one sitting without having to take a break in between the episodes. This helps with keeping the pace of the story going. I found that when I watched Torchwood - Children of Earth on the television that the momentum of the series changed on a daily basis. I’m not saying I didn’t like that, but I would have prefered to watch it all through in one go.

There are definitely some great twists and shocking developments in this third series. I’m not going to reveal any of them here for obvious reasons; you’ll just have to buy your own copy of the series. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

Obviously if you don’t have a Blu-Ray player, you can still get Torchwood - Children of Earth on DVD.

Last week I decided that I’d like to start gaming again. I’ve not played any proper games for a long while now, although I do own a Nintendo DS. The gaming console of choice for me was the Sony PSP 3000.

Why the Sony PSP 3000 I hear you ask. Well, I had one of the original Sony PSP’s a long time ago and found it to be ideal for what I wanted. The Sony PSP 3000 has come a long way sine that original model came out.

For starters, the Sony PSP 3000 is thinner and lighter than ever before. This is great for gamers because you’ll be able to play longer without getting sore wrists. Although, having said that it’s not that much thinner. The Sony PSP 3000 now has a built in microphone and a better screen as part of the upgrade features. That built in microphone will allow you to use Skype or for online gaming. There’s a TV-Out socket on the Sony PSP 3000 too, which allows you to connect it up to almost any television set and play your games via that screen. You could, if you wanted to, use it to watch movies too.

The battery on the Sony PSP 3000 will allow you to play games for between 4 and 6 hours, or watch movies for between 4 to 5 hours. The battery life could be better, but it would see you through a long train or car journey quite easily. I’m pretty sure that there’s an in car charging kit available too.

Priced between £129.99 and £159.99 the Sony PSP 3000 is cheap enough for almost anybody these days. Don’t let the low price fool you into thinking that the Sony PSP 3000 doesn’t pack a punch, because it does. The graphics are crisp and sharp and playability is awsome. I’ve taken the Sony PSP 3000 with me on my travels and it really does help to pass the time. All I need now is for buses to provide power outlets to re-charge the battery.

I’ve often found that writing for this blog is a challenge and no more so than in recent days. Some of you may know that I have a huge amount of work to get finished by the end of this week. For those of you that don’t know what I do outside of this blog, then I’ll tell you.

I am currently a student at Bolton University studying for a degree in Special Effects Development. The first year hasn’t exactly been an easy ride. We’ve had a whole lot of problems because we’re doing the first year of the degree (well three of us anyhow)  at another location. The three of us are doing the first year at Coleg Harlech, which is a Further Education college in North Wales. All three of us that are on the Special Effects Degree course have been past students of the college. I wouldn’t be in the situation I’m in now if it wasn’t for the great staff at the college. If I’m honest I’ll be quite sad to leave there.

Anyhow, our first year is up and I thought I would let you know that I have passed my first year with flying colours. We still have a film to make, but that’s more of a labour of love now rather than an obigation for the course. We feel that we need to get this film made because of the time that we’ve spent on the planning and preperation for it.

We’ve already filmed it once, but the tape got corrupted so we’ve decided on doing a re-shoot. The main reason for this is because we don’t want to let the actors down. They gave us their time for free, so it’s only right that we produce the best possible piece of work for them rather than us. We’ve been marked on the work that we’ve done already.

The idea is that we produce a film and a prper DVD in the end with extra features and behind the scene stuff. That’s the idea anyway. Obviously I’ll upload an show you the finished piece of work.

It was a very sad day yesterday indeed. The world lost two amazing stars in the form of Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. They were both young and taken away from us too soon. Farrah Fawcett was only 62 and Michael Jackson was a mere 50.

Farrah Fawcett was probably best known for being a pin-up model back in the 1970’s and for being one of “Charlie’s Angels” in the hit show of the same name playing Jill Munroe. She also starred in a number of movies. She was diagnosed with cancer in 2006, but four months later was given the all clear. Then in 2007 she was once again diagnosed with cancer.

Michael Jackson, the self named “King of Pop” has undoubtedly been an influencial figure in the world of music for over 3 decades. He released his “Thriller” album in 1982 and it went on to become the world’s best selling album of all time. He was also know for having a lavish and sometimes eccentric lifestyle. This was backed-up when he bought Neverland; his fairground themed home. In later years his life had been dogged by allegations of child abuse and ill health.

Michael Jackson was due to start a gruelling 50 date concert at the O2 arena in London.

I hope that both Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson rest in peace. They will both be missed.

Yet another add on device for the popular Nintendo Wii entertainment system. But what is it and what does it do? The Jog for Nintendo Wii is a device that attaches to your controller and is placed on your waist to measure every step you take.

The Jog for Nintendo Wii registers your steps in order to control your character on screen which moves in the direction you point your controller. That’s all you have to do with the Jog for Nintendo Wii, it’s that simple. You’ll be immersed in your game in no time; and there is a huge list of games available that are compatible with the Jog for Nintendo Wii already.

The Jog for Nintendo Wii displays the number of steps you’ve taken on a small LCD screen that’s built in and you can also see how many calories you’ve burned by playing your favourite games.

I can see the Jog for Nintendo Wii becoming a huge huge with fans of the Wii Fit but in a totally different way. No longer will you be confined to exercise type games.

The Jog for Nintendo Wii takes interactive gaming to a whole new level and its available now through PriceGrabber for under £25

This brings back fond memories from my childhood. Many an hour was spent playing on my beloved Sega Mega Drive, sometimes for days on end and to see the Sega Mega Drive Twin Player Console available to buy bought them flooding back.

The Sega Mega Drive was THE console of my generation. The Sega Mega Drive Twin Player Console is that console revived for the 21st century! It still has the same 16-bit graphics and uses the original cartridges. It even uses the same controllers as the original. So if you still have your original console and controllers you’re in a win / win situation.

Not only that the Sega Mega Drive Twin Player Console has 15 built in games which I will list for you now:

• Alien storm
• Altered Beast
• Gain Ground
• Alex Kidd
• Arrow Flash
• Columns III
• Crack Down
• Sonic & Knuckles
• Bonanza Bros.
• E Swat
• Golden Axe
• Fatal Labyrinth
• Decap Attack
• Flicky
• Shadow Dancer

Quite an impressive list of games by anyone’s standard.

The Sega Mega Drive Twin Player Console is also much smaller than the original Mega Drive so it’s ultra portable. This is great if you want to take it round to your mate’s house for a challenge. The Sega Mega Drive Twin Player Console costs under £40 which isn’t too much a price to pay for a touch of nostalgia from your past.

I want one of these desperately because I have a shoebox full of games in the attic somewhere.
