Well, since it is Halloween, it stands to reason that I should review some film that looks like it is Halloween-related in some way. I probably could have selected any horror movie, and I could have also chosen The Nightmare Before Christmas from Tim Burton, but I decided to do a less-remembered film known as Corpse Bride. This film showed up on Netflix, and I had … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Corpse Bride

Why my book “The Labyrinth House” Looks so much like “The Maze Runner”
Okay, I have written a book known as The Labyrinth House and it was published in 2014. The issue is that it bears a strong resemblance to a book out now, a bestseller that is also a movie called The Maze Runner, which was published in 2009. I’m going to say that I am not at all upset with James Dashner (author of The Maze Runner), and I don’t think this is a case of … [Read more...] about Why my book “The Labyrinth House” Looks so much like “The Maze Runner”
Where We Rant about “Sexy” Yandy Costumes, just in time for Halloween!
Well, I've been hearing a lot about these "sexy" costumes, and many of them come from Yandy. Yeah, I put a link there, I understand that many of my readers are Christian, but if you don't think you should click there, don't. There's an example of Yandy's work, and that is technically not a sexy Finding Nemo costume, it's a "Crazy Orange Fish" (it's one of the more tame … [Read more...] about Where We Rant about “Sexy” Yandy Costumes, just in time for Halloween!
Our Review of the Power Plus 3 13400mAh Mobile Battery
I've reviewed more mobile batteries than I can count, and I'll be honest and say that I've kind of got into a habit of how to review them. It really comes down to the amount of mAh, and the Cheero Power Plus 3 has 13400 mAh. Yeah, that is all well and good, and it does have all the usual features like two USB ports and a micro USB input port. The two USB ports include a … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Power Plus 3 13400mAh Mobile Battery
Holographic comedians are coming! Man, I hope not.
I've mentioned before that there was some recent holographic musicians like Michael Jackson put in holographic form. It wasn't the first time, as Tupac Shakur was once on stage as a hologram at Coachella 2012, and I am not the first time that was done. The issue is now Hologram USA wants to give comedians the holographic treatment. The purpose is to make this an … [Read more...] about Holographic comedians are coming! Man, I hope not.
Kangaroo Computer is World’s Smallest Portable PC

Boogie Board Play n’ Trace
I have reviewed Boogie Board products before, which is made by Improv Electronics. They have now created a new product known as Play n' Trace. The Play n'Trace is a translucent LCD writing surface, which allows the user to trace something onto it. Yes, it is not really made for adults, but for kids. I am assuming that it will work like the first Boogie Board as you … [Read more...] about Boogie Board Play n’ Trace
Our Review of Guitar Hero Live
Well, I had a chance to try out Activision's new Guitar Hero Live, and I will have to say that music games are back, baby. Some of you might remember when this peaked, back in the...last decade. Games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero made music a game, and even though the goal is a high score, you just don't want to mess up the music. I am pleased to say that I am having … [Read more...] about Our Review of Guitar Hero Live
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Ant-Man, a silly yet serious superhero film
These days, Marvel just isn't satisfied with one big superhero film a summer, and these days there are at least three. This one, Ant-Man, was a big question mark for audiences, as it feels like something that Marvel didn't expect much from. The issue is that it delivers more than a lot of other superhero films, and there are parts of Ant-Man that are better than Avengers: Age … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Ant-Man, a silly yet serious superhero film
Beyerdynamic MMX 2 Multimedia Headset
It's unusual when I review two products in the same week, oh wait, I guess it isn't. Still, I had a chance to review the MMX 2, and in spite of the numbering, the MX 300 is only one step up, honestly. The MMX 2 is a professional gaming headset, and you might think that a headset that looks so light will only produce earbud-quality sound, but this is not the case. In … [Read more...] about Beyerdynamic MMX 2 Multimedia Headset
The Kensington KeyFolio Thin X3 for the iPad Air 2
I had this chance to try out this other Kensington keyboard with the KeyFolio Thin X3 for the iPad Air 2, and I have to admit, I can do more with it than I thought. Sure, it is a keyboard for the iPad Air 2, but it is also much more. What is interesting is how you can use the KeyFolio Thin X3 on the go as a battery for a mobile device. The keyboard has a 1650 mAh battery … [Read more...] about The Kensington KeyFolio Thin X3 for the iPad Air 2
Our Review of the Orbit Wireless Mobile Trackball from Kensington
I had a great time reviewing another fine Kensington product with the Orbit Wireless Mobile Trackball, and I have to admit, it is a pretty fine product. Personally, I am more of a mouse person myself, as I need to move something around the desk. The Orbit takes your mouse and use it like a trackball, kind of like the controller on Centipede, the arcade game from 1981. … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Orbit Wireless Mobile Trackball from Kensington

Happy Back to the Future Day!
Yes, there are a lot of people on Facebook who just love to say "today is the day Marty McFly goes into the future". That meme is old as it is incorrect, but today, October 21, 2015, it just happens to be true. Yes, back in 1989, there was a little film called Back to the Future II, which wasn't really little. In fact, it was probably the biggest of the year, but it is … [Read more...] about Happy Back to the Future Day!
Our Review of the D-Link Full HD Ultra-Wide View Wi-Fi Camera
I've reviewed a lot of D-Link products in the past, and the last camera was The Outdoor HD Wireless Network Cloud Camera. I was fortunate enough to receive another from D-Link with the Full HD Ultra-Wide View Wi-Fi Camera (DCS-2630L), and something else came with it as well. The company sent me these glasses that had these blinders on them, so my field-of-vision was … [Read more...] about Our Review of the D-Link Full HD Ultra-Wide View Wi-Fi Camera
