Check out the April issue of WIRED UK for my review of treadmill desks. Destined for a corporate HQ near you these desks are a fantastic way to reduce the amount of time you sit down at work and get your metabolism firing as you e-mail. I've been standing up to work (a great idea, highly recommend it) for over a year now and while the addition of a treadmill does take some getting used to, doing an extra 10km while I worked was smugly satisfying.

Just before Christmas I was commissioned by Stuff.tv to write a 'History of Headphones' I had no idea that the Electrophone had been offering Spotify style subscriptions to concerts - albeit down a crackly phone line - since the 1890s! Sennheiser HD414

Really pleased to add WIRED magazine to my list of regular publications. Over the past few months I've been reviewing all sorts, from action cameras mounted on drones to smart home devices and even treadmill desks. I've also got my dog in on the act. Pick up the Feb issue and you'll see Roscoe playing Supermodel!

Another feature by me recently posted on MSN Innovation , this time looking at the future of home appliances .

Another new commission for me, this time from MSN.co.uk. They have recently launched the Innovation channel which concentrates on design, the environment and future technology. My first feature for them looked at ways technology is helping to solve the global water crisis . Hugely interesting to research, but I'm glad I don't have to rely on my sweaty gym kit for hydration...

To kick off the new look Beautiful Kitchens magazine I was asked to write an in depth guide to luxury cooking appliances. From designer ranges and hi-tech hobs to iPhone inspired ovens and chandelier extractors the choice is incredible. As are the price tags.

Congratulations to the team at Beautiful Kitchens  for a fantastic relaunch, the magazine looks superb. It is never easy to take a successful format and improve on it but the new editor Helen Stone has done a great job.
