I'll go ahead and end this Miyazaki's month with Princess Mononoke, which some argue is Hayao's masterpiece. Personally, I have already stated that Castle In the Sky is my favorite of all his works, but I will say that most of his films are just fantastic. I also realize that there are some films that I left out, and I'll cover just a few at the end of this review, kind of … [Read more...] about Speculative Ficiton Saturday, Miyazaki Month: Princess Mononoke

Hard Rubber for the iPhone 6 by SKECH
I was pleased to see some more SKECH products come in the mail, because I reviewed some of their other products like the Polo Book for the Galaxy S5 and the Crystal iPhone 6 case. Today, I got a little early Christmas present with the Hard Rubber for the iPhone 6. The Hard Rubber has a hard shell exterior, and on the inside is a soft touch surface. It definitely has some … [Read more...] about Hard Rubber for the iPhone 6 by SKECH
Jstyle Leather Wallet Case for the iPhone 6 Plus from iLuv
Okay, I'm just going to just begin this review by saying this. If you have an iPhone 6 Plus, just go out and buy yourself an iLuv Jstyle. Yeah, I can't think of any product that I began a review like this. The Jstyle is made of genuine leather with a Saffiano finish, and it is a premium wallet and case for the iPhone 6 Plus. In fact, it is essentially a place for your … [Read more...] about Jstyle Leather Wallet Case for the iPhone 6 Plus from iLuv
HiFiMAN RE300a InLine Control Earphones
It's been a while since I reported on any HiFiMAN products. They have some pretty quality goods, and I had a chance to try out the RE300a InLine Control Earphones. HiFiMAN's logo is "Innovating the Art of Listening", and I think that means they are one of those companies that really take their audio seriously, not just out to make a quick buck. On the box, it says that … [Read more...] about HiFiMAN RE300a InLine Control Earphones
ZAGG Slim Book Ultra-Slim Tablet Keyboard and Detachable Case
I have reviewed a lot of keyboards in the past with ZAGG, and I can honestly say that if you have reviewed one, you haven't reviewed them all. ZAGG makes a lot of keyboards, and I was glad to review the ZAGG Slim Book for the iPad Air. So what makes this one different? Well, it has a case that you can lock onto the iPad Air, and then you lock it on the side of the … [Read more...] about ZAGG Slim Book Ultra-Slim Tablet Keyboard and Detachable Case
Amazon is ready for the holiday with their Kiva robots
What you are going to see in the video above is some robots at work. As far as I know, and what my Source reveals, this video pretty much shows what looks like at Amazon. Amazon bought Kiva Systems, presumably so the world's biggest bookstore could have a way to move all of its merchandise around into packages. These robots go about the floor and then they lift stacks … [Read more...] about Amazon is ready for the holiday with their Kiva robots
The Philips Norelco Click&Style
It isn't often that I get to review electronic razors, but I did leap at the chance to review the Philips Norelco Click&Style, and I believe that it is just one word. I suppose that the biggest feature of the Click&Style is the fact that you can just quickly click on and off the razor, beard trimmer, or bodygroom. Since this is a product made for men, then you know how … [Read more...] about The Philips Norelco Click&Style
Speculative Fiction Saturday, Miyazaki Month: Spirited Away
Okay, today's film could be considered Miyazaki's best, as it did win an Oscar. It actually beat out several others like Monsters, Inc. and was the first anime to receive this award. Spirited Away is really one of the most mysterious films of Miyazaki, and I'll do my best to try and interpret what it means. Let's start from the beginning. Chihiro is an ordinary girl who … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday, Miyazaki Month: Spirited Away
Flic Button gives your smartphone one-button possibilities
Clearly, our world has changed since Apple told us "there's an app for that". As the video above explains, sometimes you just want to push a button and do something, instead of, I don't know, unlocking your phone and doing it. I have to admire Flic button for doing that. A single press will do one thing, and a double press do another. The things that you can do with … [Read more...] about Flic Button gives your smartphone one-button possibilities
Marblue Reviews, Part 3: DoubleTake and Axis cases for the iPad Air
As I mentioned before with the Marblue products, I am doing hands-on reviews of Marblue products and today it is iPad Air cases. The DoubleTake iPad Air Tough Case has "Bold, Stylish Toughness", with military-grade protection. There is this clip thing on it so this case folds together and holds together just fine. Then, if you want to use this as a stand, you tuck it … [Read more...] about Marblue Reviews, Part 3: DoubleTake and Axis cases for the iPad Air
Fellowes presents the AutoMax 120C and 200C
I have reviewed some Fellowes products before, like when I reviewed the 73Ci. The company has put out the AutoMax line which includes the 200C and 130C. These are shredders that feature some good things like SilentShred, which offers "ultra-quiet performance for shared workspaces". It also has Auto Reverse in case it gets jammed, as well as pull-out bins for easy … [Read more...] about Fellowes presents the AutoMax 120C and 200C
Marblue Reviews, Part 2: Headforms headphones for kids
Okay, it is time to talk about Marblue's headphones, the HeadFoams. That's right, it is the HeadFoams, as in something that is soft on your head. Now, I said in my first Marblue review that I am reviewing these products myself. These ones are definitely designed for kids, because you can bend them in all different ways. So if your kids are fighting over them, then it is … [Read more...] about Marblue Reviews, Part 2: Headforms headphones for kids
Olloclip 4-in-1 Photo Lens for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus
I have a lot of experience doing with Olloclip, so much so that I won't even bother putting hyperlinks to my last review. I might as well include the Galaxy S5 review. I know what to expect from these Olloclip products from what I reviewed in the past. For those who are not familiar with Olloclip, they are lenses that you can put on your smartphone for some cool … [Read more...] about Olloclip 4-in-1 Photo Lens for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus
Marblue Reviews, Part 1: The Racer Flip, the Milan, and the C.E.O. Prestige
Well, this week just got interesting as I got a whole load of Marblue products. I think that I first saw them at CES, perhaps years ago, and I finally got a chance to try them out. Today, I'm going to start a bunch of accessories, and I'm going to begin with the smartphone cases. Let's start with the Flip, or Racer Flip. Yeah, it's Flip on the website and Racer Flip on … [Read more...] about Marblue Reviews, Part 1: The Racer Flip, the Milan, and the C.E.O. Prestige
The Kenu Stance, a tripod for the iPhone
I'm not certain why I happen to like the Kenu Stance, but sometimes interesting products just jump right out you. This particular product is a tripod made for the iPhone, and apparently only the iPhone. This clearly comes in handy for when you want to watch a video but only if it is in portrait mode. It is also good for Facetime, I would imagine that it is good for even … [Read more...] about The Kenu Stance, a tripod for the iPhone
