I found this article about how McDonalds could be offering touchscreen menus in their restaurants, and I could not help but wonder: why don't we have this technology now? Don't get me wrong, I go to McDonalds every week, and I have great respect for those who work behind the counter. These people really do work hard, but I'm not certain whether or not that the guy behind … [Read more...] about McDonalds to have touchscreens for ordering
The Original Piggy Back Cellphone Stand
As many of you know, I review a lot of things for this blog. Today, I received in the mail something very unexpected with the Piggy Back Cellphone stand.

Here is another use for the Piggy Back, you can put … [Read more...] about The Original Piggy Back Cellphone Stand
The Mo-Fi headphones from Blue Microphones
Last January, when I went to CES 2014, I stopped by Blue Microphones. I have reviewed their products before, such as the Nessie. They were showing off the Mo-Fi headphones there, and I didn't get a chance to try them out, but I like what they are doing with them. The display that I saw at CES was this walk through thing that looked like something out of Disneyworld's … [Read more...] about The Mo-Fi headphones from Blue Microphones
The Siberia V3 Prism and the Rival Optical Mouse
I've reviewed a lot of SteelSeries products in the past few years. The last time I reviewed a pair of Siberia headphones, it was the Siberia Elite, this time it is the V3 Prism Gaming Headset. Oh, I'm also reviewing the Rival Mouse, but I'll get to that. The V3 Prism headset has "Upgraded sound". I am not certain what this is, but it has these cool almost spring-loaded … [Read more...] about The Siberia V3 Prism and the Rival Optical Mouse
“Elegy of a Dead World” game from Dejobaan Games
I have to admit that I like writing, and Elegy of a Dead World is a game that actually makes the player a writer. I'm not even sure whether or not I would even call Elegy of a Dead World a game, but it is an interesting activity. In Elegy of a Dead World, the player is this astronaut that is exploring dead worlds. There is no puzzles to be found on this world, nor is there … [Read more...] about “Elegy of a Dead World” game from Dejobaan Games
Threadsmith Hydrophobic Nanotechnology works
This weekend, I decided to test an item that I received with the Threadsmith's Plain White Tee. I tested it out in the shower and made a video of it. Don't worry, it is SFW, and I didn't make a video in the shower with a Plain White Tee so I could sing "Hey There Delilah" by the Plain White T's. Okay, I first did a video in the shower staining a normal shirt. Yes, the … [Read more...] about Threadsmith Hydrophobic Nanotechnology works
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Edge of Tomorrow
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

In case you are wondering, the OC stands for Opening Ceremony. They are a company that has teamed with mophie to create a very interesting varsity-styled jacket. Of course, this is a tech blog and not a fashion blog, so why should this OCX matter. There is a charger within this jacket that allows you to charge your phone. This charger is compatible with iOS and Android … [Read more...] about OC X Mophie Varsity Jacket can charge smartphones

It appears that Casio has created a camera made for selfies with the "Kawaii Selfie by Mirror Camera", aka the Exilim MR1. The Exilim MR1 has a 14 Megapixel sensor as well as some big mirror in the middle of the camera in order to prep yourself before you shoot … [Read more...] about Casio announces the Kawaii Selfie by Mirror Camera, or Exilim MR1
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. Sprout is a 23-inch touchscreen that has Windows 8.1, 8 gigabytes of memory, and a terabyte hard drive. In addition to the wireless mouse and keyboard, it has a 20-inch mat. 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
