The Team

Rich Tracey

Born solo to the world in 1979, Rich has always been interested in gadgets and gizmos all his life, his love affair with computers started back when he was 6 when he spent most of his time at primary school at that time fiddling with a BBC Micro (model B) dreaming of having a BBC Micro.

He then ended up borrowing a Sinclair ZX81, then eventually got a ZX Spectrum +2. He never owned a BBC Micro despite having that dream since the age of 6.

In 1990 he owned a computer called the SAM Coupe (a little known computer sharing some history with the Spectrum), it was a bit of a failed platform. He then progressed in 1993 to owning his first PC, a 486SX/25 with Windows 3.11 for Workgroups which he upgraded to a 486DX2/66. He tested the water with several operting systems including NT 3.51 and the doomed OS/2 Warp. He then settled on Windows 95.

He has worked in the industry since around 1995 where he used to work for a large corporate computing firm in Chelmsford, but then broke away to be part of running an independant computer company.

Fast forward and Rich uses a hyperthreaded quad core laptop with 8gb of RAM and Blu-Ray and Windows 7 Ultimate, and he LOVES the Blackberry range. As well as all this, he manages to be an award-winning local hero radio DJ doing far too many hours of radio a week.

James Hayden

A third generation Burnham Boy born in 1980, James studied Art that lead to photography. This in turn then led to a career in retail photography before finally and presently working as an Assistant Branch Manager for a large Mobile Communications retailer.

James has always been into his gadgets from an early age with digital watches, then onto Gaming consoles as a teenager and now his speciality is his phones. With James’ superior knowledge of the mobile communictions sector, you would think he has a favourite phone. And he does, but its a split between the Android OS and Blackberry devices.

James loves his Social Networking sites Twitter, Facebook and FourSquare. You’ll often finding him checking into locations from  the local sandwich store to multistory carparks?!

James is still a boy at heart and loves his Big boys toys. Ooo er Mrs!

Simon Powell

Si has grown up with technology from the classic Grandstand ‘Astro Wars’ unit, Atari 2600 all the way through to the PS3 and Wii.

Si also has over 15 years experience in the IT sector specialising in web publishing, web marketing and infrastructure technology sectors.

Owner of an iMac, a couple of iPhones, several iPods and most recently an iPad he’s the Apple fanboy of the team, as he believes the Apple products are a dream to use and would love to encourage more people to adopt them.

Si follows technology news stories breaking across the world and brings these stories to the Maldon district during the show. He is also responsible for the weekly Guess the Gadget competitions.

We Love our Guests

  • ~ Chip Chipper

    chip

    The DJ of the 80′s. Chip was renowned the world over for his mullet. Chip is proud of his mullet even now in the 2000′s. Although slightly thinning, his talent with a can of hair spray allows him to style the mullet in any fashion he chooses, although he’s not exactly fire proof.

    Chip, sense of style and fashion has kept him in the limelight and he can still persuade the doormen at Tots 2000 to let him in. Is Tots 2000 still open?

    Chip has long admired Mr T for his acting skills and Sylvester Stallone for his home baking and cooking abilities.

    “Sly makes killer upside down cake”, says Chip.

  • ~ Gadget Grandad

    gg

    GG is the most mysterious of our regular guests on The technology Show. Nobody knows much about him, other than his love for gadgets and technology of by-gone eras and without question his love for Mrs Gadge. We do know he travels time, but unsure how he does it, what his true age is and from what era he is actually from.

    Is he from the past or is he from the future? Could he even be a cybertronic robot sent back through time to assimilate useful (and sometimes not so useful) household gadgets from the past, and to then return to a distance future to recreate these classics pieces of tech for a civilistion who have lost their way in technological progression and innovation? Or could he just be a grumpy old git with metal implants in his head who turns up every week in some dodgy old Vauxhall Chevette?

  • ~ Wayne Shilliams

    wayne

    Born in 1990 on the wrong side of the tracks, (why he was born near tracks is anyone’s guess)

    Wayne is the youngest member of The Technology Show team and he is responsible for the five minute product reviews on the show, His quick wit but slow uptake are a a perfect blend when it comes to talking to the guys about current affairs but his age gives a unique insight into new products and a love of microwaved food.

    To call Wayne shallow would be a dramatic understatement, it is rumored that he actually changed his name because he was “seen” shopping in a store without a designer name above the door!
