It is pretty obvious that cars have much more tech in them then their predecessors, and I think we are going to see an advancement in tech in the next few years. It is in-car communication. In-car communication involves a radio beacon that continually transmits a vehicle's position, heading, speed, and who knows what else. Apparently, cars can receive information from … [Read more...] about Car-to-car Communication is definitely in the future

RYNO Cycle is a Segway with one wheel
In case you haven't realized it, pretty much everything that I have done for the month of January is related to CES and everyone that I talked to afterwards, and this probably won't change in this year. In other words, I haven't really been probing my usual tech blogs for source material, but I have been trying more hands-on approaches with tech. Therefore, I have been … [Read more...] about RYNO Cycle is a Segway with one wheel
Accell Powramid can handle all your cords
Perhaps I spoke to soon when I said that the GreenGenius was the king of all surge protectors. You can read the article that I wrote on that if you want to see those features, but the Powramid has quite a lot of cool stuff on it as well. As you can see, the Powramid is set up like a traditional surge protector with six outlets. The difference, as you can see, is that it … [Read more...] about Accell Powramid can handle all your cords
Hands on with the HD Digital Spy Pen from Cobra Digital
I don't know if you ever wanted an HD Digital Spy Pen. If you haven't, then you clearly need to watch more James Bond films. I can honestly say that I hope I am never in a position where I need to use the HD Digital Spy Pen, but since I had a chance to try it out for myself, I want to report my findings. The HD Digital Spy Pen from Cobra Digital unscrews to reveal an 8GB … [Read more...] about Hands on with the HD Digital Spy Pen from Cobra Digital
Accell’s GreenGenius could be the king of Surge Protectors
This will be one of two Accell products that I will be reviewing today, and as you can see, it is a surge protector. You will notice that it does not resemble a typical surge protector, and I am not just referring to the fact that it is more than double the width. I think we all know that surge protectors protect people against...surges, but even devices connected to … [Read more...] about Accell’s GreenGenius could be the king of Surge Protectors
ShockDrop Case for the iPhone 5 from Hard Candy Cases
I might as well make a disclaimer: this ShockDrop Case for the iPhone 5 is so similar to the Drop Case from Gumdrop Cases, that I am pretty certain they are just made by the same people. In this case, the rugged silicone skin bears more of a resemblance to underneath a tire rather than a tennis shoe sole. It has 6 mm of silicon shock for the four corners, and it has 3 mm … [Read more...] about ShockDrop Case for the iPhone 5 from Hard Candy Cases
Neon Bubble Case for the iPad Air, from Hard Candy
Well, this is still Hard Candy/Gumdrop day, and just looking at the Neon Bubble Case for the iPad Air makes me hungry. Hungry for Hard Candy, as it looks like it is made out of the same stuff that lollipops are made of. Okay, enough with the witty intro, let's hear more about it. The Neon Bubble Case is a polycarbonate shell which can snap on the iPad Air in two pieces, … [Read more...] about Neon Bubble Case for the iPad Air, from Hard Candy
Drop Tech Color Case from GumDrop Cases
I am declaring today "candy day" as I will be officially reviewing three products from Hard Candy/Gumdrop. I'm not certain if these companies are under the same umbrella, but I will have to say that they are remarkably similar. More on that later. I'll start with the Drop Tech Color Case. The Case has a texture that resembles the bottom of a tennis shoe, and it is a … [Read more...] about Drop Tech Color Case from GumDrop Cases
Nessie from Blue Microphones
I am no stranger to products from Blue Microphones, and I first noticed the Nessie at CES. Not this year's CES, but last year's. I finally got a chance to review the "first adaptive USB mic". In case you are not aware what an adaptive mic is, think of it like you would your camera. You know how it will often auto-focus and take out the redeye? Yeah, cameras have come a … [Read more...] about Nessie from Blue Microphones
New Potato Technologies creates a foosball table for the iPad
These days, just about anything can be done on a smartphone or tablet. So why not Foosball? I can see the appeal. After all, when I was a kid, I remember trying to make a miniature Foosball table after enjoying the game during middle school lunch times. So, I was pleased to try out New Potato's Classic Match Foosball for the iPad. Just to let you know, some … [Read more...] about New Potato Technologies creates a foosball table for the iPad
Jabra Sport Wireless + gives wireless Bluetooth freedom for sporty types
I've always been a big fan of Jabra products, and just after my review of the Solemate Mini, I am pleased to review the Sport Wireless Plus. The Sport Wireless Plus is one of those cool Bluetooth headsets that is actually two Bluetooth headsets in one, joined together with a wire that drapes on the back of the neck. Like most Jabra products, the device verbally prompts … [Read more...] about Jabra Sport Wireless + gives wireless Bluetooth freedom for sporty types
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Ender’s Game
I just finished watching this movie about an hour ago, and my reaction of it is...mixed. I will have to say that it didn't utterly suck. Generally, there is an instinct for that when you are watching a bad film, and I have a feeling that repeated viewing of this film will either proclaim it a masterpiece or make me hate it even more. Ender's Game is based on a book that … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Ender’s Game
