Wiimote control

If you play a lot of Wii Sports, £20 is a small price to pay to keep the nunchuck cable from smacking you in the face, or other parts of your anatomy. And if you’re a fan of Mario Kart, then, well, blaming your loss on the tangled cord is no longer an excuse. In fact, if you’re getting smoked while using one of these, it’s probably because you just plain suck. Flawless functionality and simple setup means you’ll forget you’re using a wireless adapter. Stellar battery life keeps nunchuck going strong for up to 60 hours. Battery pack also functions as a nunchuck stand.

Flipping heck

I'm now the owner of a Flip Mino and love how portable they are. The only drawback was the lack of optical zoom. The real test will be when i'm in Miami so check back.

Mojo Honours List Awards 2009

Those of you know me know of my love for soul & RnB, but on Thursday night I was lucky enough to be invited to the Mojo Honours List Awards at The Brewery in Central London. After i'd negotiated the roads filled with traffic due to the 2 day tube strike, I took my seat & was mighty impressed with what happened next.

Making their first appearance since reuniting Britpop band Blur were honoured. The group picked up the Inspiration Award in recognition of their influence on modern British music. The band's original line-up of Graham Coxon, Damon Albarn, Alex James and Dave Rowntree were all on hand at the awards ceremony to collect the accolade. Also picking up an award was John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono, who received a Lifetime Achievement Award. The honour, in praise for her contributions to music, is the first music prize of the 76-year-old's career. In other categories, U.S band Fleet Foxes walked away with Best Live Act but missed out on the Song Of The Year award. Instead, this went to Elbow whose anthem 'One Day Like This' was the favourite with Mojo readers. Meanwhile, the Manic Street Preachers picked up the Maverick Award and Paul Weller scooped the third Mojo of his career by winning Best Album for '22 Dreams'.

I was in the presence of some true rock legends,, for which a part of me will always remember. But the highlight of my night was meeting Chris Blackwell founder of Island Records.

Always bet on black!

I just received my newest timepiece. The TX 600 Series Pilot Watch in black has got to be one of the coolest watches around.

When I asked "how are you supposed to tell the time"? I was quickly told "that's what your mobile phone is for".

THIS IS NOT FOR TELLING THE TIME. THIS IS A FASHION WATCH LIKE NO OTHER.

Engineered to move with purpose and precision, the TX Pilot Series offers true functionality without aesthetic compromise, exhibiting complex technology through bold detailing. Combining sophisticated, highly engineered components with aeronautically inspired sport styling, the TX Pilot series provides a unique synthesis of fly back chronograph function and tachymeter scale with second time zone capability. The four-hour chronograph and the fly back feature, which uses the single push of the lower button for stopping, resetting and restarting the chronograph, ensure the elapsed time is tracked to within one fifth of a second.

Soccer AM end of season knees up

Prior to my 2 shoe launches this week I went out with the guys from Soccer AM for quite a few end of season drinks.

Rio Ferdinand x Nike Sportswear Air Force 1 “RF1″

Rio Ferdinand joins an elite group of innovators, privileged to re-work this icon of Nike Sportswear. And he’s done it his own way. The ‘RF1’ focuses on a clean white-on-white concept, with a mixture of smooth, patent and ‘alligator’ embossed premium leathers for an understated yet luxurious aesthetic. They’re capped off with superfine gold stitching, a gold medial swoosh and variants of his ‘five’ insignia on the heels.

There are just fewer than 100 pairs of this incredibly limited shoe being released in the UK, the launch took place at Nike’s 1948 space in Shoreditch on Saturday 30th May at midday. After a Q&A session with 1Xtra's Vis we all popped over to Shoreditch House for some much deserved refreshment.

Two shoe launches in 2 days. Imelda Marcos eat your heart out.

Kickers and Lego tie Up Kids' Footwear

Kickers and Lego have joined forces for a children's range that will hit U.K. retail in October 2009. The launch took place on Friday at Legoland in Windsor. The Gadget Show's Gail Porter was there with daughter Honey to check out the new kicks.

The collection, unisex but aimed primarily at boys ages 4 to 10, features the Kickers Kick Hi boot with Lego detailing, including brick configurations on velcro straps and eyelets, use of the Lego brick print on two of the styles and bright bold colors associated with the brand. Lego bricks and characters can also be attached onto the shoes, which I think is a stroke of genius until you lose your bricks on the street.

The footwear also features the Kickers red and green tabs on the sides of the shoes as well as the fleurette, reincarnated in rubber for this collaboration. The range will retail between £50 and £55, some of you might say that's a bit pricey, but I say in these economically challenging times we could all do with a bit of colour to cheer us up.

UEFA Champions League Final

Oh well, Manchester United were beat by Barcelona 2-0 in Rome.

The Premier League Champions failed to retain their UEFA Champions League crown as Barcelona claimed Europe's top club prize with a 2-0 win in Rome's Stadio Olimpico.

United started the final brightly but were stunned on 10 minutes when Samuel Eto'o skipped into the box and poked the ball past Edwin van der Sar.

After that United never got going.

In the words of Sir Alex Ferguson "the best team won".

And so ends another Champions League season.

Adidas Jeans

I'm after a pair of red/blue Adidas Jeans. I had a couple of pairs when I was in school many many years ago & have been hunting them down ever since.

When they were released in 1979 the red/blue was the initial colourway, then later designs were brought out such as this fine True Red/Black/Sunlight colourway in November 2004. This re-model has all of the great original features plus some of the refined changes they made back in 1982 like the profile outsole and modifyed upper.

Anyone know where I can get an original 1979 red/blue pair please let me know.
