As I have stated before, I was involved in a car accident where I wish I could have had some thing to call the hospital. I can imagine the problem if I was involved in a bike accident. Fortunately, there is the ICEdot Crash Sensor, a motion detector that senses when you have crashed (the ICEdot stands for In Case of Emergency dot). This yellow spot on the helmet connects … [Read more...] about ICEdot is a bike helment that calls for help

I first heard of Fitbit a while ago, and they make these tracking gadgets for health and fitness. I believe that I ran into Fitbit back at CES, and I believe these are the new models for 2012. The Fitbit Zip is an entry-level model that is quite small, and it can track steps take, an estimated distance traveled, calories burned, and you can scroll through all of this … [Read more...] about Fitbit has two new devices: The Fitbit One and the Fitbit Zip

When it comes to refrigerators, there really isn't much more you can do with them, is there? I mean, I suppose attaching a cold water dispenser and an ice machine was an improvement, but what else can you do with them? Fortunately, LG has figured out something interesting with the Door-in-Door which allows you to open a door within a door. You know, I suppose this is … [Read more...] about LG has a refrigerator door on a refrigerator door

I suppose that the Solemate gets its name because it has a "sole" of its own. You can see underneath it that it looks like the bottom of a shoe. I have reviewed many Bluetooth Speakers in the last few weeks such as the iShower and the HMDX Jam. I found that the Jabra Solemate lives up to its slogan of "Looks Small. Sounds Big". I had an easy time hooking it up, and I … [Read more...] about Review of the Jabra Solemate

Do you ever think that we live in a world where things are just made to be obsolete? Some of you still have electronic products from decades ago that were built to last, and might even still work. Now, there is a new version of the iPhone 5, which will make the other iPhones obsolete. When the iPhone 4 was released with its new design, a whole new series of cases had to … [Read more...] about How the Apple iPhone 5 will change the world, maybe not for the better

Just to let you know, the title is an allusion to the Alan Parsons Project "Eye in the Sky". I suppose I could have used Calloway's "I Wanna Be Rich" which says "I want money, lots and lots of money, I want the Pi in the Sky". Yes, this is the Pi that is the ratio of diameter to circumference, and it is that famous irrational number that has been calculated to 10 trillion … [Read more...] about It is the Pi in the Sky, looking at you

Every once in a while, you see something that you can tell is going to be an amazing trend. Today, it is about Google Glass, the augmented reality glasses that we reported on a while ago. Today, we are seeing the first video shot entirely using a Google Glass, I am assuming that the funny video we saw last April doesn't count. This one is about Diane Von Furstenberg, a … [Read more...] about First video shot entirely with a Google Glass appears on YouTube

Some of you might remember when we reported on how NERF is bringing back Lazer Tag to smartphones, the game from the eighties where you can blast each other with invisible lasers. It looks like there is another company, the HEX3, who is creating the AppTag. It works in the same fashion by putting a smartphone (Android or iPhone) on a gun. The difference is that it uses a … [Read more...] about Hex3 AppTag

Apparently, I was so excited at the announcement of the iPhone 5 yesterday that I forgot that Apple also has a new iPod Touch and iPod nano. I'll be honest with you. I sort of pulled an all-nighter the night before, and woke up at noon and reported on the iPhone 5, without seeing what else Apple had. What you are seeing here to the left is the fifth generation of iPod … [Read more...] about Apple also has a new iPod nano and iPod Touch

Today, I realized that the Nintendo Wii U has been hyped for almost a year and a half. It was unveiled in E3 2011, a hype only surpassed by The Avengers movie. Now that the iPhone 5 has already been announced, Nintendo made a big announcement today. I finally have a release date and price for this guy. In America, it will arrive on November 19th, and will cost about … [Read more...] about The Nintendo Wii U is coming! See release date and price below.

Ah, time for what tech bloggers live for, the announcement of a new Apple product. It looks like they finally got around to making that iPhone 5 and call it something like the iPhone 4SS.

Well, the iPhone 5 has also been … [Read more...] about iPhone 5 is announced, and yeah, we should probably report on it

About a few months ago, I was driving from Central Oregon to my home in Washington, and I found windmills on every empty field along the coastline. Personally, I find that using this kind of renewable power is very good, and all those towers are just plain beautiful. I have just learned that if surface level winds were somehow harnessed to produce electric power, this … [Read more...] about Here’s a reason why there is a wind farm in your backyard

This post goes out to the ladies! Yeah!! This is for all the ladies who have purses, and want to charge their mobile phones with them! Okay, I am not a DJ. And here's the thing, I know very little about purses. However, if I were designing them to be practical, I would make them do more than just hold stuff. No, I would make certain that they have a battery in them for … [Read more...] about Everpurse: A mobile phone charger, for your purse!

What you are seeing here is the Shimi, and it is a Kickstarter project created by some roboticists (apparently that is a real word) at MIT. It is called the Shimi because it is meant to sound like "shimmy", as its hammerhead bobs up and down whenever your iPod, iPhone, or other MP3 player plays the music. This is just one Kickstarter project from Tovbot. According to … [Read more...] about Shimi the Personal Robotic DJ

I have reviewed a lot of headphones, and although I haven't reviewed these, this is interesting to see what Sony has unveiled with the X Headphones. Just so you know, it is called X because it is related to the Simon Cowell show the X-Factor. As you can see, these headphones are pretty huge. They have 50 mm diaphragms for powerful bass, and there is some serious … [Read more...] about Sony X Headphones
