Last week, I told you that I enjoyed the Keanu Reeves movie of Constantine, a story filled with angels and demons, even if they are not necessarily biblical in their depiction. While I am comfortable watching a film where spiritual warfare takes a very physical form, I just found that I had a hard time believing in the basic concept behind this film. Before I get to … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Devil’s Advocate

Lynktec Reeljuice, a mobile battery with a four-foot retractable cord
This was another product that I found at CES 2016 and was glad that I had a chance to try out. I have to say that the Reeljuice from Lynktec is a mobile battery, which I have reviewed many times in the past. This Reeljuice could beat them all, with uniqueness alone. You see in the illustrations how it separates into three pieces, and I'll talk about the biggest one … [Read more...] about Lynktec Reeljuice, a mobile battery with a four-foot retractable cord

Tunebelt AB88 and AB89
It has been a while since I reviewed a Tunebelt product. Today, I'm going to do two with what the company sent me with the AB89 and the AB88. Even thought this is out of order, I'll start with the AB89. This particular sport armband is for iPhone 6/6S, and it will fit it if you have one of those Otterbox cases, or maybe one from UAG (you know, something similar). That … [Read more...] about Tunebelt AB88 and AB89

The things it can hold … [Read more...] about UAG Part 1: Trooper for the iPhone 6 and ICE HTC One M9 Case
Boomstick by Boomcloud 360
In case you are wondering, I am really having a hard time not saying: "All right, you primitive screw-heads, this is my Boomstick". In addition to the reference to Ash from Army of Darkness, this is quite a good product from Boomcloud 360. So let's go with my second intro: in my review of the Monster Clarity HD earbuds, I talk about how the company declared war against … [Read more...] about Boomstick by Boomcloud 360

I have reviewed many Belkin products and they really have a huge diversity for what they make. This particular product reminds me of the Dropcam, another product that I have reviewed in the past.

Oh yes, we are reviewing another Olloclip product today, and if you are thinking it will be another lens for the camera, you would be wrong. This particular Studio is made to help those that want to photograph with the iPhone, but in a different way.

Master Lock Bluetooth Smart Padlock
I'm sure that you're probably familiar with Master Lock, because they make great...locks. Sure it just makes sense to put a padlock with Bluetooth, and it might not be the first to do so. I don't really know who put Bluetooth on a padlock, but it uses a smartphone to open a lock with a free Master Lock vault eLocks application. So, if you forget your smartphone, it is … [Read more...] about Master Lock Bluetooth Smart Padlock

That is the official word from the company itself, and you might be wondering why some hardware in the form a box would be needed with this sounds like a software thing. Well, it isn't, and it is. Let me explain. Once you connect it to your router and connect it to your application, … [Read more...] about Bitdefender BOX
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Constantine
I have to say that most films that I have seen like Constantine are generally full of things that even the Bible doesn't believe in, but it almost looks like it should. Films with God and the Devil feel like they should be liked by Christians, but they are often the ones most boycotted. I personally think that Constantine has some incredibly good ideas, and it is a wild, … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Constantine
Rise iPhone 6/6S from Body Glove
Now that we have returned from CES (two weeks ago), I am almost finished with reviewing items that I received from CES 2016. Yes, I will end with the Rise Case for the iPhone 6/6S. Hooray! Now the Rise has a lot of interesting features, and one of them is a 2-layer protection with ridges for a three-dimensional look. It also has shock resistant corners and this has a … [Read more...] about Rise iPhone 6/6S from Body Glove
Avant Guard for the iPhone 6
I have to admit that I might have bought this product out of its cool name alone. The Avant Guard for the iPhone isn't just a screen protector, and it will do so much more. Allow me to explain. It has a Oleophobic coating to repel sweat and oil, as well as tempered glass. Then it has safety laminate to keep it in one place, and there is a bubble-free adhesive. So … [Read more...] about Avant Guard for the iPhone 6
