I mentioned that Tech Armor produces some very thin cases for the iPhone 5, and I had a chance to try out the FlexProtect Case for the Galaxy S5, as well as the HD Clear Screen Protector. There isn't really much that I can say about the FlexProtect Case for the Galaxy S5, other than the fact that it is the thinnest that I have ever seen. Sure, I have already said that … [Read more...] about Tech Armor Samsung Galaxy S5 FlexProtect Case and HD Clear Screen Protector

iSwimband is a way to keep kids safe from drowning
Much of the time when I report on a gadget, it is because I encountered a situation where I needed it. For example, I was at the pool the other day with my kids, and since I have three, I have to keep track of them off and on. My third kid was playing in the shallow end, and I wanted to check in on him to make certain he wasn't getting in any trouble. If I had the … [Read more...] about iSwimband is a way to keep kids safe from drowning
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Time Bandits, and other Terry Gilliam films
I've looked at a lot of the speculative fiction films of Terry Gilliam, and I guess I should probably talk about the one that "started it all", Time Bandits. I am leaving out his Monty Python history, not to mention Monty Python and the Holy Grail, which some consider one of the funniest films of all time. Time Bandits is a film that looks like it could be targeted to … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Time Bandits, and other Terry Gilliam films

It is a huge gathering for almost everything comic-book related, and for some reason, all the movies and TV related things show up as well.

I have no idea. … [Read more...] about ThinkGeek has an R2-D9 USB Car Charger, just in time for Comic-Con
Tech Armor iPhone 5 Case is the Thinnest
Every since the iPhone 4 had that defect that required a case to get it to work right, the iPhone case business has been thriving. Of course, most iPhone cases look just the same, but the Tech Armor has one unique feature: it is the thinnest. At least, this is what the company says. I have no idea how true that is, but I had a chance to try it out for myself, and it … [Read more...] about Tech Armor iPhone 5 Case is the Thinnest
Capture video in 360 degrees with the V.360 from VSN Mobil
The one thing that I have been looking forward to since last year is the Geonaute camera, which I first saw at CES in 2013 (yes, last year) and still haven't seen available for anything but pre-launch. The Geonaute has what I thought was a unique ability to shoot in 360 degrees, but it looks like VSN Mobil is going to get in on what will probably be a growing market with the … [Read more...] about Capture video in 360 degrees with the V.360 from VSN Mobil
Fugoo Sport Bluetooth Speaker
I've been fortunate enough to review another Bluetooth speaker, this time, it is the Fugoo Sport. I would definitely say that it is the speaker for the summer. For example, if you want to plop this speaker in the sand and listen to your tunes on the beach, the Fugoo Sport is the Speaker of choice. It is also designed to stand up to snow, dirt, and a little water as well. … [Read more...] about Fugoo Sport Bluetooth Speaker

The Shield is a tablet-like device that is specifically designed for gaming, and this one is larger at 8 inches. It also runs KitKat (Android 4.4), has a Micro SD expansion slot for boosting internal storage up to 128GB, and has both front and rear facing … [Read more...] about Nvidia Shield Tablet gets an upgrade
LifeCHARGE ZEAL Extended Battery Case for the Apple iPhone 5C
I have reported on Ontrion's LifeCHARGE products before, but I believe that this is the first time that I have covered anything the company has made for the iPhone 5C. Clearly, the LifeCHARGE ZEAL isn't anything that I haven't seen before, but it is always needed. The ZEAL is one of those batteries that doubles as a case, or a case that doubles as a battery. I guess it … [Read more...] about LifeCHARGE ZEAL Extended Battery Case for the Apple iPhone 5C
Super M from Nude Audio
I've reviewed a lot of Bluetooth Speakers on this blog, and I have high hopes for the Super-M by Nude Audio. I'm not really certain what makes the audio nude on this Super-M, but it has 360-degree sound packed with six drivers. I would imagine that this portable party must be quite loud, and it is shockproof and waterproof. All that, and this guy can fit in your jeans … [Read more...] about Super M from Nude Audio
SOUNDSIGHT Headphones bring a new kind of “sight and sound” market
The SOUNDSIGHT (which apparently is always spelled in all capitals) is a very unique gadget that I have not seen its like before. SOUNDSIGHT is a pair of headphones that have a small camera attached to them. Why would we need this? Come on, haven't you ever been walking down the street, listening to headphones, and you just had to film what you see? Clearly, you are not … [Read more...] about SOUNDSIGHT Headphones bring a new kind of “sight and sound” market

TYLT ENERGI Sliding Power Case for the Samsung Galaxy S5
I have reviewed several cases that doubled as mobile batteries, and yes, I have reviewed the Energi Sliding case for the iPhone. Now I've reviewed the Sliding Power Case for the Galaxy S 5. I like the sliding case because you get the case, but you don't have to lug around the weight that a battery/case gives you. Instead, you get the protection of a case, and just attach … [Read more...] about TYLT ENERGI Sliding Power Case for the Samsung Galaxy S5
