The Color Of 2015

Every year Pantone, New Jersey corporation, well known for their Pantone Matching System, declares the color of the year, for the coming year...

Interior designers all around the world have felt a big relief when, few months ago, Pantone revealed their color for 2015., a rich shade called "Marsala".

Maybe, the tones of that color have something to do with the fact that it was named after a wine, but Marsala is endlessly versatile when it comes to design.

Hidden March Holidays

I always think of March as the oatmeal of holiday months.  It is bland and boring.  Oh sure, you have St. Patrick’s Day - the one day everyone on the planet is of Irish descent celebrated by drinking too much green beer and Irish Whiskey.  But past are the fun holidays were you get to dress in funny costumes, eat too much, get gifts or just cuddle with your honey.  And yet to come are the holidays celebrated on the beach with fireworks and long summer days.  Yup, March is the oatmeal of holiday months.

3 Cool Reading Apps for Android

Not everyone is a book lover, no matter how many times they give it a shot. Let's face it, reading just isn't for everyone. While I am an avid reader, I have many friends who haven't picked up a book since high school and just have no interest in doing so. Their hobbies reside elsewhere.

But not all reading apps are book centric. There are some that cover other literary areas, such as magazines, newspapers and even comic books.

Previously published reviews for book lovers:

• Goodreads Video Review: Free Online App for Book Lovers!
• How to: Self-Publish a Book!

For those of you out there that have an Android tablet or phone and are more interested in other formats outside of books, here are three really cool apps you need to check out.

Review: Joby GorillaPod

The Joby GorillaPod is certainly a great tripod if you don't mind the size. It is very sturdy, flexable and most of all, fun! This tripod isn't ment to be used for serious photography as it is very lightweight, but for taking the odd photo or video, this is a great little accessory. There are many colours available for the Joby GorillaPod, these include the following:

• White (as shown on video)
• Yellow
• Red
• Green
• Pink
• Blue 
• Orange

The advantages to this mini tripod is that you can wrap it round more or less everything with it's bendy legs. In the video shown above, I had the tripod wrapped around my monitor (Acer S243HL), lampshade and also my guitar! It is seriously amazing. I also like how cheap the GorillaPod is, on Amazon UK , you can buy this tripod for just £11.70! This is a bargain. The third thing I like about this tripod is the large variety of colours, they look great.

The disadvanteges to the Joby GorillaPod is that it is literally tiny! Also, when you bend the legs, it tends to nip your skin, which is very annoying! But other than that, I can't complain!

Over all, I give this tripod a 9 out of 10!
