Speculative Fiction Friday: The Man of Steel

June 28, 2013 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

man of steel poster henry cavill

I think we all are painfully aware that movies lack a lot of originality. It seems that studios are less inclined to invest in projects that don't have some franchise associated with them. The sad part is that most of my film investments this summer are not with original films, but with Star Trek: Into Darkness and now, The Man of Steel. The Man of Steel is Warner … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Friday: The Man of Steel

Review of DawnSinger by Janalyn Voigt

June 28, 2013 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

janalyn voigt

This is not Speculative Fiction Friday as yet, but I honestly believe that there needs to be more Christian speculative fiction and fantasy. I discovered DawnSinger, and I believe that what we have here is something that can compete with J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. One of the reasons that I don't read many fantasy books is that they tend to fall into conventions. I … [Read more...] about Review of DawnSinger by Janalyn Voigt

LeapFrog unveils the LeapPad Ultra

June 28, 2013 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

LeapFrog Ultra

I'm sure that most of you have heard of Leap Frog before, and if you haven't, you should note an entire aisle of your local Wal-Mart toy department devoted to it. LeapFrog makes electronic, educational toys that are usually green, which would is befitting their Leap Frog name. They are also kid-tough, which means it can handle little hands and what they can dish out. The … [Read more...] about LeapFrog unveils the LeapPad Ultra

Adidas Springblade could change the running game

June 27, 2013 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

adidas springblade xl 740x493

Adidas has recently created the Springblade, which is a shoe that has angled "blades" that put kinetic energy forward, so you will have a "more efficient stride". Apparently, these blades instantaneously react to any environment, to compress and release energy for a push-off. I can't help but wonder if it will be awkward for first time users, but hey, I think it is just … [Read more...] about Adidas Springblade could change the running game

iFetch throws the ball for your dog

June 27, 2013 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

Well, I figured that since I have covered the cool Kickstarter project Poppy, a 3D video/photo viewer for the iPhone, I should cover the iFetch. Now, the iFetch is not an iPhone or iPad accessory, but it is made to make life easier, for dog owners. The iFetch is designed for dogs to play fetch with itself, and yes, that does sound really bad now that I have written it … [Read more...] about iFetch throws the ball for your dog

Poppy allows shooting of 3D videos on the iPhone, Viewmaster style!

June 27, 2013 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

poppy 640x449

I am not certain if we really want 3D, as this come-and-go fad might have peaked shortly after Avatar was released. Still, if you want to take 3D videos and photos on your iPhone, you might want to look into a Kickstarter project called Poppy. Poppy is a non-electronic way of making 3D, which works a lot like a Viewmaster. You know, that toy from the seventies that gave … [Read more...] about Poppy allows shooting of 3D videos on the iPhone, Viewmaster style!

Cambridge Audio Minx M5 Multimedia Speakers

June 26, 2013 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

Minx M5 on blue background Medium

I covered the Cambridge Soundworks Oontz, but I don't know if Cambridge Audio is a similar or the same company. The Minx M5 is a "powerful 2.1 audio system that reproduces computer audio with clarity, emotion, and passion". As you can see, it has a huge subwoofer for some punchy bass as well as some satellite speakers. they can be used for multimedia usage, like a laptop … [Read more...] about Cambridge Audio Minx M5 Multimedia Speakers

CM4’s Q Card case for the Samsung Galaxy S4

June 26, 2013 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

Q Card

Is it possible that we are looking at an age where the wallet and the smartphone are becoming one? Well, I have reviewed several products for the iPhone or other smartphones that allow the user to place credit cards or even cash on the case of the phone. CM4 has created the Q Card case, specifically designed for the Galaxy S4. It can fit about three cards and cash, and … [Read more...] about CM4’s Q Card case for the Samsung Galaxy S4

June 26, 2013 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

Pixuru

We are obviously living in an era where most of our pictures are on our smartphones, but let's say you want to take it off your phone's memory card and put it on your wall. I would highly suggest using an application known as Pixuru. Pixuru allows Android and iOS users to send photos from their phones to Pixuru's printing facility. All that is required is taking a … [Read more...] about Pixuru can frame your smartphone pics

Put a bird on it with Toast smartphone cases

June 25, 2013 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

BOBinNest

In case you don't get that headline, you need to start watching Portlandia, and IFC sketch comedy show that I, who lives in the Northwest, can utterly relate to. On the show, the main characters of Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein talk about how they "put birds on things". The sketch has a terrific payoff, and Toast, a company based in Portland, has put a bird on this … [Read more...] about Put a bird on it with Toast smartphone cases

This Sensor Bracelet brings the one thing technology can’t give yet: Touch

June 25, 2013 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

I would like to think that technology is pretty good. First it allowed us to hear from places when we are miles away with the invention of radio. Then it allows it us to see far off places thanks to the invention of video. I believe that other three senses are about ready to be technologized. There is scent technology that needs to perfected, and I haven't seen any tech … [Read more...] about This Sensor Bracelet brings the one thing technology can’t give yet: Touch

Backpack can transform into a scooter

June 24, 2013 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

backpack scooter

I always like to see any innovations in transportation, and I will have to say this one created by Gustavo Brenck is very cool. As you can see, it is a foldable kick scooter integrated in a nylon backpack. Now, you might be wondering why in the world someone would make this when you can just wear a backpack and go on a scooter? I'm not certain. Perhaps putting the … [Read more...] about Backpack can transform into a scooter

Xbox One Internet Connection requirement not required anymore

June 24, 2013 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

xbox one value 640x315

About a weak ago, I talked about how Sony and Microsoft had put their best foot forward at E3. I was concerned that Microsoft's Xbox One would lose this console war, due to its requirement to be connected to the Internet once every 24 hours. This looked bad for Microsoft, as Sony didn't have that requirement. I have heard that someone in the military asked Microsoft that … [Read more...] about Xbox One Internet Connection requirement not required anymore

Speculative Fiction Friday Inception: Yeah, I figure I should

June 21, 2013 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

Inception Poster inception 2010 13368481 1029 1500

I figured that it was about time that I wrote an article on a relatively recent film that has now become a classic. Inception is one of those films that is speculative fiction, but it tones down a lot of speculative fiction elements for the sake of its story so much that there are times when I forget it is supposed to be speculative fiction. Not that the film doesn't have a … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Friday Inception: Yeah, I figure I should

Olloclip presents the Quick-Flip Case

June 21, 2013 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

product page case1

You might remember a device that we have reported on known as the OlloClip, from the company of the same name. If you aren't familiar with it, it is a lens for the iPhone with a fish-eye and 10x multiplier. You can read about that one here. You can see the Olloclip in the upper left hand corner of the image, but what is that thing on the upper right hand corner, you ask? … [Read more...] about Olloclip presents the Quick-Flip Case
