Every once in a while, you see some new tech that looks completely non-sensible, and then you actually try it. Then you wonder how you will live without it. I believe that the TAO Wellshell could be that new must-have item for those who want to exercise, anywhere. It can connect via Bluetooth to a smartphone or tablet, and allows you to burn calories by squeezing. In … [Read more...] about TAO Wellshell Isometric Exercise System

Tobii and YEI Technology show the future of gaming at CES Unveiled
In the future, will we be wearing our game for a completely immersive experience? I honestly don't see why not. Yesterday, at CES Unveiled, I saw not one, but two technologies that could change the way we game, if combined. I'll start with YEI Technology. This company puts out a suit/controller known as PrioVR, and it is cable of turning one's body into a controller. … [Read more...] about Tobii and YEI Technology show the future of gaming at CES Unveiled
Drones take the floor at CES Unveiled 2014
I can honestly tell you that last night at CES Unveiled was a little bit of a shoulder-to-shoulder, standing room only event. One of the things that got a lot of press was anything that was above the floor. Parrot, for example, had their new MiniDrone on hand. The MiniDrone is the blue one that you can see in the image here, and it has detachable side wheels for land … [Read more...] about Drones take the floor at CES Unveiled 2014
We are here at CES 2014 all week!
In case you haven't heard, we will be at CES 2014. In case you haven't heard what CES is, it is a huge electronics show that takes place in Las Vegas, and I managed to get myself here. During this next week, most of the big tech companies will be displaying all of their cool stuff that they intend to release this year. I will be viewing all kinds of new tech, and I fully … [Read more...] about We are here at CES 2014 all week!
Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Wolverine
Well, I had a chance to see Mr. Hugh Jackman in The Wolverine the other day, and I wish that I didn't. This is the sixth time he has played this movie role that established him as an actor, and it is the worst Wolverine film since...the last Wolverine film. I am referring to X-men Origins (Colon) Wolverine. It is a real shame, as this film started off so well with Logan … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Wolverine
The Tactical Laser-Guided Pizza Cutter
I don't know about you, but cutting pizza is always a bane for me. It seems like it never cuts enough, and you end up pulling to separate only to have serious toppings ripped off. This particular pizza cutter has a laser/flashlight scope so it creates a straight line cut. Hey, you never know when you need that kind of precision. I think any argument that you can have … [Read more...] about The Tactical Laser-Guided Pizza Cutter
Hasbro presents the Furby Boom, with a special guest reviewer!
I'm sure some of you remember Furby's, as they were the must-have holiday gift back in the late nineties, along with the Tickle Me Elmo of the mid-nineties. After that, I don't know what toy is the must-have. I am assuming that this year's must haves were the Xbox One and the PS4, but Hasbro, makers of Transformers Constructo-Bots and Angry Birds Star Wars toys has the … [Read more...] about Hasbro presents the Furby Boom, with a special guest reviewer!

This LEGO notebook from Moleskine is with it to have if you want to journal more for the new year. Moleskine, a company that makes a lot of quality notebooks, planners, and journals, has created a LEGO notebook. This … [Read more...] about Moleskin combines Lego with a journal
Bosco Verticale under construction
I am always interested in projects that are environmentally sound and have sustainable power involved, and this Bosco Verticale could set a standard. According to my Source, "this building will help balance the microclimate and in filtering the dust particles contained in the urban environment, especially with Milan being one of the most polluted cities in Europe".
