Carrier is one of those industries that is known for high technology heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning solutions. They have come up with the Cor, which is a way of taking control of your home comfort system. I believe that there is another product known as Nest which does the same thing, and I don't know, maybe it is different. The only reason why I am reporting … [Read more...] about Cor Smart Thermostat gives a new age of Modern Air Conditioning
80 Days by Inkle is one of the most complicated (and cool) games ever
I think we have all at least heard of Around the World in 80 Days. It is a classic book by Jules Verne, but it has been done time and time again. The most recent re-interpretation had Jackie Chan in it, and it was an excuse to have a star-studded cameo adventure with a steampunk twist. There was an award-winning film of the book where the characters travel the world in a … [Read more...] about 80 Days by Inkle is one of the most complicated (and cool) games ever
My Review of MOSS EXOFABULATRONIXX 5200
I have reviewed the MOSS Robot Construction System before, and I recently had a chance to review the EXOFABULATRONIXX 5200. The MOSS construction systems are an educational building tool that is similar to stuff like LEGO MINDSTORMS, as the builder creates a lot of interesting creations. All of these creations are these cubes with metal spheres that connect together … [Read more...] about My Review of MOSS EXOFABULATRONIXX 5200
Speculative Fiction Saturday: How to Train Your Dragon 2
I'll admit that I only somewhat liked How To Train Your Dragon (the original) when it first came out in 2010, but the more I watch it, the more it grows on me. I always felt that Hollywood needs a good "dragon" movie, something quintessential. I mean, when you think space opera, you think Star Wars. When you think fantasy, you think Lord of the Rings. When you think … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: How to Train Your Dragon 2
Snapchat purchases Vergence Labs
I'm sure that you have heard of Snapchat, especially with that whole Snappening incident. For those of you who don't know, Snapchat allows the user to take a picture or send a message, and then these photos and messages are automatically deleted. I think it is interesting that Snapchat is quite popular, which means that there is a demand for self-destructing messages a la … [Read more...] about Snapchat purchases Vergence Labs
The Saga of “The Interview”
Okay, I've been covering this story for a while on The Gospel Herald, but here is the story behind "The Interview". 1) The Interview is a film made by Sony Pictures with Seth Rogen and James Franco about two fake journalists that are on a secret mission to kill the North Korean Dictator Kim Jong-un. 2) Sony Entertainment was hacked. Just like The Fappening and the … [Read more...] about The Saga of “The Interview”
Nintendo looking to a donut-shaped screen?
This is one of those rumored technologies that I may never see develop, but there is a rumor that Nintendo is looking for the technology to create donut-shaped screens. Of course, the question that you have to ask yourself is why? After all, why have a donut shaped screen? Well, if you think about what Nintendo does, it is gaming. Their controllers have controllers, and … [Read more...] about Nintendo looking to a donut-shaped screen?
Polaroid’s Socialmatic Instant Camera looks like Instagram Logo
I think it is interesting that Instagram has really changed our mobile world, so much so that now cameras are adapting to it. Not the most people use cameras these days since they have gone to cellular phones. Polaroid, for example, has responded to this Instagram trend that will not end with the Socialmatic Instant Camera. Not only can you take pictures with its 14 … [Read more...] about Polaroid’s Socialmatic Instant Camera looks like Instagram Logo
NewerTech NuGuard KX Screen Armor for the iPhone 6 Plus
It has been a while since I reviewed a NuGuard product. The last time was the Energy X-orbing Case for the iPhone 5. Now, I'm looking at this for the iPhone 6 Plus. Yeah, sure, I have seen a product like this before. I suppose that I'll see more, but this one has three layers of protection. The first is the protection layer which keeps dust and dirt away from the … [Read more...] about NewerTech NuGuard KX Screen Armor for the iPhone 6 Plus
iRig Pads MIDI Groove Controller
The other day, I reported on the K-Board from Keith McMillen Instruments, and it is a MIDI keyboard. This must be MIDI week, as I am reviewing another MIDI product with the iRig Pad. This product works with the iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch as well as a Mac or PC. It is reminiscent of QuNeo, as it allows the user to make beats, launch loops, and mix like a DJ and much more. … [Read more...] about iRig Pads MIDI Groove Controller
Native Union Reviews: The Gripster for the iPad, MONOCLE, and the Key Cable
Last January, at CES 2014, I managed to get a good look at some Native Union products. I was pretty impressed with what I saw, and now, almost one year later, I got a chance to review the Gripster, the MONOCLE, and the Key Cable. I'll start with the Gripster, a multi-functional grip, stand, and handle for the iPad Air. I will be honest that I have seen products in the … [Read more...] about Native Union Reviews: The Gripster for the iPad, MONOCLE, and the Key Cable
The K-Board from Keith McMillen Instruments
It has been a while since I have reviewed anything from Keith McMillen Instruments. I had a lot of fun with the QuNeo and I was almost ready to quit writing and become a DJ. I got a chance to review the K-Board, it is was very similar to the QuNexus that I reviewed before. The K-Board is like its name implies, a keyboard, but shorter. If you have a music-playing … [Read more...] about The K-Board from Keith McMillen Instruments
The Phorce Freedom: A Charging Bag
This bag that you see here is the Freedom bag from Phorce. I didn't misspell that, by the way, it is just how they spell the company is spelled. The Phorce is three bags in one, as it can work as a briefcase, messenger bag, or a backpack. As a backpack, it fits on the bag very, very well. Too bad it doesn't have handles like a travel bag, but it does slide over the … [Read more...] about The Phorce Freedom: A Charging Bag

Oh forget it, I'll recommend them because they are iHome products, and they make some quality stuff, man. Let's start out with iDL46, as it is a typical iPod dock.

Speculative Fiction Saturday: Lucy
Lucy is a film that showed up last summer, and it looked kind of promising, but it also looked like another superhero movie. Yes, there are a lot of them these days. I'm not certain if you know this, but Marvel films has a lot of movies coming out based in its own universe, then DC has a whole bunch coming out as well. In fact, the next few years is so full of superhero … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Lucy
