One of my aspirations for the future is to complete my very own book. I can’t say that I have focused too much on the topic or much else in fact - but it is a dream I have.
However, and to my great surprise, I hadn’t quite appreciated how easy it is to get a book off the press these days. A rather clever service called Blurb does all the hardwork for you.
They provide Blurb Booksmart software that enables you to professionally format your content. This includes:
• Easy to make — Drag and drop images and text into hundreds of professionally designed layouts to create a book that reflects your style.
• Creative control — Design and edit your book’s text and photos with intuitive layout tools.
• Font support — Use all your own fonts in a variety of sizes and text styles.
• Easy image management — Keep track of the images in your book with the “My Imported Photos” library.

If you really want to treat friends or family to some luxurious meals delivered to the doorstep each morning, then you really must check out London based Pure Package.
Their mantra is “making eating healthy food both delicious and easy for you - allowing you to get on with your life”. This is no understatement. Having sampled a full day of meals and snacks I can testify to the excellent quality of the food.
It’s not just the exemplary service and food that are worth noting. A particularly nice facet of the Pure Package is the shaping of a dietary programme to meet your needs. They say:
“After a detailed telephone consultation, the Pure Package team of chefs, nutritionists and dietary therapists develops a tailored food programme according to each individual’s needs - whether to help shift a few pounds, increase energy, prepare for the beach or just pep up a natural glow for the summer.”

Ever dreamed of having perfectly fitting ear phones for your ipod? Your not alone....
Custom Ear Phones have spotted a niche and aim to fill it with their bespoke service which creates headphones for the individual - moulded to the exact contours of your inner ear.
How do they manufacture these highly bespoke products?
The service from Custom Earphones requires a fitting where cold wax is poured into your ears and a mould taken of your ear canals. I am sure this feels pretty weird....
By all accounts the experience is not unlike being submerged under water. Fittings can be done in a variety of UK locations including specsavers branches.
The resulting wax mould can then be pulled out on a string. These are used to make a plastic cast of your inner ear - built around etymotic’s ER-6i ear canal headphones.
The beauty of the resulting product is that it snugly fits your ear providing an unfettered listening experience.
Retail price is £150 ($300).
