Gadget-Guru Kickoff 2024; German Pop Across the Decades

This time on the Gadget Guru, Ian thanks Father Christmas for his presents and has a suggestion if you find the long, dark nights a challenge.  First up, the guru reviewed the reMarkable tablet, an electronic device which claims to replace your notebooks and printouts while giving the user the feeling of writing on paper.  The device supports loads of downloadable templates to support import/export to your Mac or Windows PC, .PDF files, notebooks, and sheets. It can also recognize your handwriting and turn it into electronic and printable, editable documents.  Also this week, Gadget Guru told us about the Osmo Sunnylight. Another personal consumer device to help those with seasonal affective disorder (SAD) brought on by the long, dark days of living in the (waaaay)northern hemisphere.

Our music theme this evening was German language contemporary pop music, featuring the following tracks:

Dominik Hartz - Klimpa Klimpa

Feinwaschmittel - Alles Bunt

Herbert Grönemeyer - Männer

Schmyt - Abendkleider und Nadelstreifen

Peter Fox - Haus Am See

Nena - 99 Luftballons

Blond - oberkörperfrei

Glasperlenspiel - Geiles Leben
