Okay, this is the second part of my Gosh product reviews, and I will repeat that this is the company's name. I actually believe it is Gosh! with that exclamation point, so I guess that means that this punctuation is just a part of the name. This is the Cordbox, and the purpose is to hide all of those nasty cords that are cluttering your desk or on your desk. It is … [Read more...] about Gosh, Part 2: The Cordbox Cable and Power Strip Organizer
My Review of the Jabra Sport Coach
Yes, I have tried out some Bluetooth earbuds made for athletes before, and I have also tried out some great Jabra products, and this Jabra Sport Coach is quite something. Imagine if you had some wireless sports earbuds that also had the ability of intelligent audio coaching. The Jabra Sport coach has it, and it has an integrated cross training application called Sport … [Read more...] about My Review of the Jabra Sport Coach
Gosh Part 1: Parallel 2 and JouleHaute
Well, now that I have finished with EnerPlex, parts one and two, it is time to talk about another company with some chargers for mobile devices. I am talking about Gosh. Yes, this is the name of this company, and I had a chance to review the Parallel 2 and JouleHaute 8000 mAh. I'll start with the Parallel 2. This won the CES Innovation Awards as well as the German … [Read more...] about Gosh Part 1: Parallel 2 and JouleHaute

Fuz Designs Dock for the Apple Watch
This would be the first time that I have reviewed an accessory for the Apple Watch, and I am certain that it won't be the last time. This is from Fuz Designs, and I believe it is pronounced like "fuse" and not "fuzz". There is supposed to some line thing above the letter "U". The Fuz Dock is a dock for the Apple Watch, and it is there not just for charging, but for looks … [Read more...] about Fuz Designs Dock for the Apple Watch
EnerPlex Part 1: Packr Solar Backpacks, the Commuter and the Executive

This time, I got some other things, and I'm going to concentrate today's reviews on the two solar backpacks that I received. I'll start with the Enerplex Packr Commuter solar backpack. This one is … [Read more...] about EnerPlex Part 1: Packr Solar Backpacks, the Commuter and the Executive
LifeCHARGE 6-foot Lightning Charge Cable
I've had a chance to review some LifeCHARGE products before in the past, and I was fortunate enough to get a product that is so new that it isn't even on the catalog yet. I went ahead and checked it out, and it is essentially MFI certified which makes the communication to the iPad, iPhone, and iPod very much seamless. It is also helpful that it is flat, which means that … [Read more...] about LifeCHARGE 6-foot Lightning Charge Cable
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Steven Universe
One of the reasons why I continue to go back to television is that it surprises me every once in a while. Steven Universe is one of those surprises that was more than just pleasant, but it is truly something. Steven Universe is an original epic wearing the disguise of a kid's show. The Cartoon Network occasionally spews out something really good every once in a while, … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Steven Universe
King’s Quest is making a comeback
I have reviewed a lot of point and click adventures before, most recently Anna's Quest. I'm always comparing them to King's Quest, a very early point and click adventure game inspired by Dungeons and Dragons and Choose Your Own Adventure stuff from the eighties, giving eighties kids precisely what they wanted. It would appear that King's Quest is back, and it will be … [Read more...] about King’s Quest is making a comeback
LG Gentle is bringing flip phones back
The other day I talked about how flexible touchscreens could replace the touchscreen phone, just like touchscreen phones pretty much replaced the clip phones. It looks like the flip phones could be making a comeback with LG Gentle. You heard that right. It has 1 GB of RAM and it is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 chipset. The screen is a 320 x 480 and the rear … [Read more...] about LG Gentle is bringing flip phones back
How Microsoft will take over the world on July 29th with Windows 10
Okay, I am told that Microsoft will make Windows 10 is available on July 29th, but here's the thing: they could use it to take over the world! How do I know this? Simple. I've seen the movie Kingsman: The Secret Service, and the villain, Valentine, had a plan that is similar to what Microsoft is doing now. In the film, Valentine gives everyone an SD card that allows for … [Read more...] about How Microsoft will take over the world on July 29th with Windows 10
LG wants their phones with Flexible OLEDs
Okay, every once in a while, I see some kind of new device that I think is going to change the world. I think LG has already seen it. We have been living in a world where the smartphone has been just a touchscreen with very few buttons. We obviously have Apple to thank for that, but what is the next step? After all, it is very clear that those old flip phones from a … [Read more...] about LG wants their phones with Flexible OLEDs
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Birdman
I’m again going to be honest here and say that technically Birdman isn’t a speculative film. Even though the opening shot is of a man floating in air through telekinetic power, and…yeah, that’s good enough. I’ve reviewed other media that isn’t necessarily speculative fiction, such as Big Fish and Sherlock. I’m going to start by saying that I loved Birdman, and as I was … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Birdman
Caves of Qud Game available on Steam
Caves of Qud is another game on Steam that I have reviewed, and it is one that I think will only appeal to certain types of players. The issue that I had with Caves of Qud is the pronunciation. Is it Caves of Quid? Caves of Cod? Caves of Cud? Seriously, we are running out of game names these days that we have to just make up words like "Qud". Yeah, that is … [Read more...] about Caves of Qud Game available on Steam
HEX Stinson Relay Duffel and Icon Wallet for the iPhone 6
I like a lot HEX products, and I was very pleased to review the Stinson Relay Duffel Bag. I have to admit that if I was into bags, I would definitely be into this one. I'm pretty sure that you can use a gym bag or an overnight bag for at least a few days worth of clothes. There are two external pockets with one padded with a magnetic enclosure for an iPad, and then there … [Read more...] about HEX Stinson Relay Duffel and Icon Wallet for the iPhone 6
