Okay, last month, we did most of Miyazaki's great anime films, and this month, we are going to do...the best of 2014 speculative fiction. Edge of Tomorrow was a film that I heard about one year before its release, and it was criticized as soon as the plot synopsis came out. The premise is about a guy who lives the same day over and over. Yes, you have heard this plot … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Edge of Tomorrow

New York City getting a floating park Pier 55
There is nothing more that I like to see than some artificial islands, which is probably going to have to be the way we get more land. It looks like New York City will have something new for Pier 55. This Pier 55 will be put in the Hudson river on the Lower West Side, which will rest on the top of the deteriorated Pier 54. This construction has over 300 pillars and … [Read more...] about New York City getting a floating park Pier 55
YotaPhone 2 has screens on both sides
A while ago, I mentioned several things that I wanted to see at CES. One of them was the Yotaphone, and it is a phone with two screens, with the screen on the back is an e-ink display. Keep in mind that the Yotaphone was one of the things I wanted to see at CES 2013, and I just finished registering for CES 2015. I'm sure you have done the math, and yes, it was about two … [Read more...] about YotaPhone 2 has screens on both sides
HP’s Sprout PC is loaded with features
Every once in a while, I see a review of a product that I may never get a chance to try myself, and today it is the Sprout PC. It is a one-piece PC that could easily create a standard.

The mat locks … [Read more...] about HP’s Sprout PC is loaded with features
Cygnett ChargeUp 11000 mAh Pro Powerbank
Yes, I have reviewed Cygnett products before, and I have reviewed mobile batteries before. I suppose what I am going to have to say that the more mAh, the better, and so the ChargeUp Pro Powerbank has them. However, there is more to a mobile battery than just a micro USB input and two USB ports. The ports are 1 A and 2.1 A USB ports. Oh, then there is the indicator … [Read more...] about Cygnett ChargeUp 11000 mAh Pro Powerbank
Plan V can use a 9 Volt Battery to charge your phone
You know what is funny? Power used to be synonymous with batteries, but I'm guessing that the battery business went down since smartphones came about. After all, with an app for that, all you need is to charge your phone. Hence the rise of the mobile battery business. I'm going to discuss a new type of mobile battery later this week, but for now, I'm going to discuss the … [Read more...] about Plan V can use a 9 Volt Battery to charge your phone
Stelle Audio Mini-Clutch Speaker
I have to admit that I am not the audience for the Stelle Audio Mini-Clutch speaker. This is because I am male, and I don't use a clutch, or a purse for that matter. I think it is funny that women have purses and men are apparently supposed to have wallets. Of course, I usually have to lug my laptop around, so have a laptop. Of course, I have reviewed a lot of Bluetooth … [Read more...] about Stelle Audio Mini-Clutch Speaker

The iGrill Mini from iDevices
I've reviewed iDevice products before, and I am referring to a company known as iDevices Inc, not the generic term used for devices compatible with Apple products. The last product I reviewed was the iShower, and it was quite a cool Bluetooth speaker. Today, I'm going to talk about the iGrill mini, a Bluetooth thermometer. It is designed for grilling, which will let you … [Read more...] about The iGrill Mini from iDevices
