After… way too many months of sitting on this domain, and in the intervening time a divergence from its original purpose, technofetishism is now live…ish. techF’s original purpose was to keep track of pieces of industrial design I saw as things that are worth of fetishising. Not the sexual fetish, but more the ‘the attribution of religious or mystical qualities to inanimate objects as a primary stage in the development of a culture or civilization’ version, although some things sure could be called arousing. A good example of an item that would fall under this previous version of the site, would of been Apples iPod, especially the real early versions of it, and what a piece of design that was, and I would be comfortable to say that the iPods could easily be called a fetish these days.

However, since this germ of an idea formed in my head, the lovely thing called apathy and the sheer amount of time I don’t have to search for these items of fetish. So techF sat unloved and unused on the internet. However one thing did happen during this period of time, my collection of things that would be called toys, gadgets, dohickeys and so forth has grown, and grown… and grown yet again. A friend of mine suggested I should create a site to show all these things, with my personal reviews and where to get them. And thus, techF was reborn into this new version of itself.

So Welcome One and All to the first post on techF. Where the reviewing of gadgets owned and others that are lusted over will happen as frequently as time allows.
