A few years ago when TechnoMark and I were driving home from CES, our check engine light came on. We ignored it and continued to attempt to make it to our destination. Unfortunately, our van broke down on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. We got it towed to the nearest town, and would soon learn that the engine had blown. If we had FIXD back then, we might have … [Read more...] about FIXD: The Device That Can Save You in Car Repairs

Our Review of the JBL Link 300 Voice Activated Speaker
We're reviewing another product from JBL. This product doesn't have cool flashing lights, but it can stand on its own features. This is the JBL Link 300, which is a voice activated speaker similar to Google Home products. What Does it Do? This is an alternative to Google Home Max- comparative in size, but without the large price tag. It pairs with Google Assistant to … [Read more...] about Our Review of the JBL Link 300 Voice Activated Speaker
Pulse 3 Bluetooth Portable Bluetooth Speakers Will Color Your World
Look We've recently seemed to be doing some different reviews of color changing speakers like the Halo and this one by iHome. Those were nice, but the Pulse 3 by JBL will blow those speakers out of the water. Speaking of water, the Pulse 3 is waterproof with an IPX 7. This is great if you want to put it in your bathtub and jam out with a light show in the tub with … [Read more...] about Pulse 3 Bluetooth Portable Bluetooth Speakers Will Color Your World
1More Spearhead VR Gaming Headset Review
Well, I always like reviewing 1More products, and I got to review 1More.

I'll restart this review of the 1More Spearhead VR and say that it received a CES 2018 Innovation Award. This was where I first had a chance to try out the 1More … [Read more...] about 1More Spearhead VR Gaming Headset Review

Does Jessica Jones Season 2 Just Suck? (Spoilers Ahead)
So far, Marvel's Cinematic Universe (MCU) seems to be getting better, as they have been taking ideas that seem weak like Ant-Man or Black Panther and milking billions out of them. A few years ago, when Daredevil hit Netflix, it was proof that this more mature and darker branch of the MCU could be just as successful. Daredevil's Season 1 was a huge hit, and Jessica … [Read more...] about Does Jessica Jones Season 2 Just Suck? (Spoilers Ahead)
Final Space and the Difficulty of Science Fiction Epics
The thing about science-fiction epics on television is that it is starting to be done more successfully, but this is only a recent development. It was a quarter-century ago when Babylon 5 was released, an epic science-fiction series that had a definite beginning and end in mind. It lasted five years, but it was a gamble back then as TV audiences were not very committed to … [Read more...] about Final Space and the Difficulty of Science Fiction Epics

Creative Labs SoundBlasterX Siege M04 Precision Gaming Mouse
I might as well say that the Seige M04 Precision Gaming Mouse feels like some kind of sidekick to the SoundBlasterX Vanguard K08 keyboard that I reviewed earlier. It has the P.R.E. (Perceive, React, and Execute) features of that keyboard, and it is a product of some serious hard work. So let's start with its features. We are talking a gaming grade PMW3360 IR LED sensor with … [Read more...] about Creative Labs SoundBlasterX Siege M04 Precision Gaming Mouse
