I'm a fan

Very few occasions arise when I am reduced to exclaiming ‘I want one of those’. Technology and gadgets are all very nice, and I do own a number (I bought a pressure washer at the weekend – it’s fun) but very rarely am I actually excited by them. I came close this week, however, when I saw a picture of the new Dyson Air Multiplier (TM). A fan, essentially, but being Dyson it doesn’t really look like a fan. A traditional fan, after all, with its blades and stupid protective guard, is terribly ungainly.

Before I continue I should point out that we are in no way affiliated with Dyson or their Air Multiplier (TM). Neither have I received one for free in a spurious attempt to make me write about it (I wish). I just think they look good. See for yourselves:

Empty space has never looked so cool. They also have a neat little viral thing going on their website, charting people’s reactions to their latest invention. Some are rather extreme – I mean, it looks nice and it’s a clever idea and all, but it’s not exactly the answer to all World’s problems, is it? Maybe that’s out in the Autumn.
