At CES last January, I saw many terrific technologies on display, and I tried to look for trends in them. In my analysis I noticed a certain number and letter that kept reappearing: 3D. … [Read more...] about Is there a 3D era on the way or is it here already?

Tech News for the Day, Monday, September 14
I'm planning to start the week off right with a little report on what is coming out. For example, Toshiba's JournE touch multimedia tablet. Looks cool, doesn't it? For those who are looking for the next exercise video game creation, look no further with the Domyos Interactive System. Samsung has a new robot vacuum cleaner that could probably kick the Roomba's … [Read more...] about Tech News for the Day, Monday, September 14
Weekend Video Game Fix: Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings
While I was doing some shopping at a Fred Meyer, I saw Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings on sale for $19.99. I couldn't believe it! This video game just came out. Apparently, it was not a big hit. To paraphrase a line from Robocop: "Now I'd buy that for twenty dollars". I figured it was worth trying. After all, I still remember Indy back in his 1981 Raiders of the … [Read more...] about Weekend Video Game Fix: Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings
The Miller Brothers release second book of the Hunter Brown Series
I first met Christopher Miller a year ago at a Writer's Convention. He and his brother Allan are authors, computer animators, but above all, they are men of faith. The Miller brothers have written several books including their Heroes of the Faith series, and, most recently, the Hunter Brown series. I had a chance to read Hunter Brown and the Secret of the Shadow a few … [Read more...] about The Miller Brothers release second book of the Hunter Brown Series

Hello, everyone. I suppose I could wish everyone a happy Patriot's Day, but that just doesn't sound like a holiday that you put "happy" in front of. Well, hey, that was an awkward intro, but here is the lastest in technology for today. If you like PMPs (Portable Media Players) that are not iPod by nature, you might want to check out the Philips GoGear Muse 16GB PMP. … [Read more...] about Tech News for the Day, Friday, September 11
Eyepet and the Age of Augmented Reality
While I was at PAX, Sony Playstation had an amazing demonstration of a new game for their new EyeToy camera accessory. The game was simply known as EyePet, and it was pretty much the coolest thing that I saw all that day. Eyepet allows the user to play with a virtual pet that will only appear on the screen. The eyepet is simply a lovable furry creature that is often … [Read more...] about Eyepet and the Age of Augmented Reality

After the experience from Apple and other big things that happened yesterday, I have very little to report. If you are interested in a set of Gaming headphones, you might want to check out what Turtle Beach has to offer. Have you heard about this guy from Nepal that makes solar power from human hair? That isn't a joke, it is a real story that you can read about here. … [Read more...] about Tech News for the Day, Thursday, September 10
Tech News of the Day, Wednesday, September 9
I think that I've pretty much done 09-09-09 to death, and I don't think that anyone is going to top Apple today. However, there is much to talk about. Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000 is one ultra thin beauty. Check it out here. Like YouTube? So do I. In fact, some of you have seen my amateur vids. Like Blu-ray? I've only had some experience with it. … [Read more...] about Tech News of the Day, Wednesday, September 9

Totally Free Video Games or Recession, what recession
While I was at PAX, I began to notice a trend in free to play games. If you are not familiar with that concept, it is essentially when companies offer a game that is completely free. And when I say free, it isn’t like you download the game and it says: “Thank you for downloading the game, please pay $XX to this PayPal address to proceed further.” This is a process in … [Read more...] about Totally Free Video Games or Recession, what recession

Greetings on this Labor Day, I hope you are enjoying your day off, assuming that you get one. (I know I usually don't.) Thought you might enjoy a few tech updates. I'll start with the Sansa Clip +. It's just like the Sansa Clip, which plays music from an SD cards full of music rather than messing with iTunes and other downloading things. Check it out here if you … [Read more...] about Tech News of the Day, Monday, September 7
