Times when I wished I had…

I walk the lanes and see two kids in ragged clothes watching a cartoon channel in the display TV visible through the high glass panes of an electronics shop. One of the shop assistants, irritated that these ‘ragged’ kids wouldd spoil the ‘image’ of the shop, switches the channel. The kids look on longingly, sad.

I visit a friend’s house after so long. I’m there to spend some time talking to him. His TV is on… And his eyes are glued to it.

I have a literature exam in 3 hours. The man downstairs has chosen this unique moment to keep his TV on full volume, and disappear from the scene, to fight with his wife.

These are times when I wished I had, a Micro Spy Remote! I haven’t seen or used one, but the blog Only Gizmos’s description is way too tempting! You can control, turn off, mute, or do any crazy thing with any television in the locality…

*zap* Channel changes back to Cartoon Network.

*zap* TV turns off. My friend thinks its jinxed, and chucks it, decides to talk to me instead.

*zap* TV muted… Literature in peace!

And how did I come across this? Only Gizmos has this competition on, for bloggers, in connection with their 2nd anniversary, to blog about one of their posts, and win prizes. And one of the prizes they’re offering IS a Micro Spy Remote! Now you know me, I would have just walked off, but the spy remote was just irresistable, I HAD to blog about it!

Oh, BTW, this is an entry for that competition… Thanks to this competition, I learnt about the Micro Spy Remote, and something else which is really really awesome. I’ll post a blog on that later, after I’ve had discussions with a few friends of mine Hint hint, its got something to do with artificial intelligence! Adios for now!

UPDATE (17th May, 09): I’ve won the competition! w00t! *zap* *zap* *zap*! Can hardly wait for the awesome remote So cool! Thank you so much, Only Gizmos!
