Last January, at CES 2014, I managed to get a good look at some Native Union products. I was pretty impressed with what I saw, and now, almost one year later, I got a chance to review the Gripster, the MONOCLE, and the Key Cable. I'll start with the Gripster, a multi-functional grip, stand, and handle for the iPad Air. I will be honest that I have seen products in the … [Read more...] about Native Union Reviews: The Gripster for the iPad, MONOCLE, and the Key Cable

The K-Board from Keith McMillen Instruments
It has been a while since I have reviewed anything from Keith McMillen Instruments. I had a lot of fun with the QuNeo and I was almost ready to quit writing and become a DJ. I got a chance to review the K-Board, it is was very similar to the QuNexus that I reviewed before. The K-Board is like its name implies, a keyboard, but shorter. If you have a music-playing … [Read more...] about The K-Board from Keith McMillen Instruments
The Phorce Freedom: A Charging Bag
This bag that you see here is the Freedom bag from Phorce. I didn't misspell that, by the way, it is just how they spell the company is spelled. The Phorce is three bags in one, as it can work as a briefcase, messenger bag, or a backpack. As a backpack, it fits on the bag very, very well. Too bad it doesn't have handles like a travel bag, but it does slide over the … [Read more...] about The Phorce Freedom: A Charging Bag

Speculative Fiction Saturday: Lucy
Lucy is a film that showed up last summer, and it looked kind of promising, but it also looked like another superhero movie. Yes, there are a lot of them these days. I'm not certain if you know this, but Marvel films has a lot of movies coming out based in its own universe, then DC has a whole bunch coming out as well. In fact, the next few years is so full of superhero … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Lucy
Nintendo discontinues Amiibo Figures
We have talked about the Amiibo figures before with their appearance at E3 last summer. What is interesting is now that these figures are out, Nintendo is discontinuing them. Here is the Nintendo figures that are being discontinuing: Marth, the Wii Fit Trainer and Villager. It is interesting to see that they are discontinued, but there isn't really a good reason why. … [Read more...] about Nintendo discontinues Amiibo Figures

Review of the Pelican Voyager for iPhone 6 and Protector for the iPhone 6 Plus
I have written about Pelican products before, most recently in March when I covered some Pelican products for the iPad products. The company has a lot of experience (over 35 years worth) of protecting equipment, and I recently had a chance to try out the Voyager for the iPhone 6 and the Protector for the iPhone 6 Plus. The Voyager is nothing like Star Trek: Voyager, … [Read more...] about Review of the Pelican Voyager for iPhone 6 and Protector for the iPhone 6 Plus
McDonalds to have touchscreens for ordering
I found this article about how McDonalds could be offering touchscreen menus in their restaurants, and I could not help but wonder: why don't we have this technology now? Don't get me wrong, I go to McDonalds every week, and I have great respect for those who work behind the counter. These people really do work hard, but I'm not certain whether or not that the guy behind … [Read more...] about McDonalds to have touchscreens for ordering
The Original Piggy Back Cellphone Stand
As many of you know, I review a lot of things for this blog. Today, I received in the mail something very unexpected with the Piggy Back Cellphone stand.

Here is another use for the Piggy Back, you can put … [Read more...] about The Original Piggy Back Cellphone Stand
The Mo-Fi headphones from Blue Microphones
Last January, when I went to CES 2014, I stopped by Blue Microphones. I have reviewed their products before, such as the Nessie. They were showing off the Mo-Fi headphones there, and I didn't get a chance to try them out, but I like what they are doing with them. The display that I saw at CES was this walk through thing that looked like something out of Disneyworld's … [Read more...] about The Mo-Fi headphones from Blue Microphones
The Siberia V3 Prism and the Rival Optical Mouse
I've reviewed a lot of SteelSeries products in the past few years. The last time I reviewed a pair of Siberia headphones, it was the Siberia Elite, this time it is the V3 Prism Gaming Headset. Oh, I'm also reviewing the Rival Mouse, but I'll get to that. The V3 Prism headset has "Upgraded sound". I am not certain what this is, but it has these cool almost spring-loaded … [Read more...] about The Siberia V3 Prism and the Rival Optical Mouse
“Elegy of a Dead World” game from Dejobaan Games
I have to admit that I like writing, and Elegy of a Dead World is a game that actually makes the player a writer. I'm not even sure whether or not I would even call Elegy of a Dead World a game, but it is an interesting activity. In Elegy of a Dead World, the player is this astronaut that is exploring dead worlds. There is no puzzles to be found on this world, nor is there … [Read more...] about “Elegy of a Dead World” game from Dejobaan Games
Threadsmith Hydrophobic Nanotechnology works
This weekend, I decided to test an item that I received with the Threadsmith's Plain White Tee. I tested it out in the shower and made a video of it. Don't worry, it is SFW, and I didn't make a video in the shower with a Plain White Tee so I could sing "Hey There Delilah" by the Plain White T's. Okay, I first did a video in the shower staining a normal shirt. Yes, the … [Read more...] about Threadsmith Hydrophobic Nanotechnology works
