If you have never heard of Striker before, they really make some useful products. This is the best picture of the product that I am reviewing from them, the Capsule Task Light. Yes, I know this sounds like an ad campaign, but this is "four lights in one". So, what does this particular light do? Well, let's start with a headlamp, allows you to put it on your head so you … [Read more...] about The Striker Capsule Head Lamp, a 4 in 1 Task Light
The Epson PX-S05 Travel Printer
You know what the problem is with our society? We are both a paper society and not a paper society. Seriously, I've got lot of documents on my computer that should be printed out, but printers are such stationary things. You could just get the Epson PX-S05 which is a printer that is small enough to fit in one's carry-on baggage. It is slim, uses A4 paper, inkjet, and it … [Read more...] about The Epson PX-S05 Travel Printer
Mall of the World coming to Dubai
It seems like every time that I hear about Dubai, it is always in the context that it is this real mega-city plucked out of futuristic science-fiction. I have just learned of a new project called the Mall of the World, and I am assuming that it can kick the Mall of America's butt. Yeah, Bloomington, Minnesota has nothing on Dubai's Mall of the World. As you can see in … [Read more...] about Mall of the World coming to Dubai
New Robotech Show to get Crowdfunding
Generally, I try and avoid interjecting my own opinion into my blog postings. Today, I have something that I want to see get off of the ground. Someone is trying to revive Robotech. If you are not familiar with Robotech, it was an animated series from Japan that was imported to America around the mid-80's. It was actually a three-part story within its eighty-or-so … [Read more...] about New Robotech Show to get Crowdfunding
Phonesuit Flex XT Pocket Charger for the iPhone
I've reviewed Phonesuit products before, like the Elite battery case for the iPhone 5/5S. That product was a way to double the battery life of your phone, and there is another product known as the Flex XT Pocket Charger that can give your iPhone 150 percent power in a smaller size. The Flex XT Pocket Charger is a lot like the Link 5200i from iWalk. The Pocket Charger is … [Read more...] about Phonesuit Flex XT Pocket Charger for the iPhone
The Swich Wireless Charger
I've seen a lot of wireless chargers, and they generally have the same principle. You can go the Powermat route where there is just a flat platform that you put your phone with a specially-made case. Then the other is a cord that attaches magnetically to the specially-made case like the Magnetyze. The Swich takes a wireless charger to a different level. I realize that … [Read more...] about The Swich Wireless Charger
The TSA Friendly Laptop Carry On
I'm not certain if I have ever talked about the TSA before, but I know that everyone has a story about it. After all, I have a hard time with air travel, especially when I have my laptop. There is always that awkward time when I have to remove my shoes and my laptop and put them in the trays. I suppose that if it was easier to have some kind of laptop bag like this. You … [Read more...] about The TSA Friendly Laptop Carry On
Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Adventures of Baron Munchausen
Okay, last month was "TV Shows", and the month before that was "Pixar month". I might actually make this month "Terry Gilliam month" with this film. If you aren't familiar with Terry Gilliam, he has done films that are winners and losers. He is also a filmmaker with a very rich imagination. One of his best works is The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. When it was first … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Adventures of Baron Munchausen
Book Review: Earthman Jack Vs. The Ghost Planet
I normally do two posts per day, but since it was a holiday, I decided to put this one off. I don't do many book reviews on my blog, but since I had this one sent to me for review, I was quite interested in this. As I mentioned in my Doctor Who review, I enjoy good speculative fiction, and I really like the kind that is fun. With a title like Earthman Jack Vs. The Ghost … [Read more...] about Book Review: Earthman Jack Vs. The Ghost Planet
WakaWaka Power is the solar-powered light we all need
Ever since I first reported on the WakaWaka, and yes, that is the product's real name. Forget Fozzie Bear for a while and concentrate on a solar charger that can light your world and charge your gadgets. The WakaWaka power has a solar panel on one side that allows you to absorb the power of the sun, and then allows you to shine its light for about 150 hours. Granted, it … [Read more...] about WakaWaka Power is the solar-powered light we all need
The Sound Spot from Soundfreaq
Another week, another Bluetooth speaker. Yeah, that's common for me, and the Sound Spot by Soundfreaq is a very nice one. This portable Sound Spot is a wireless home speaker with "mid-century design inspiration". I am guessing that it is saying that it resembles a 1950's speaker. At least it isn't from the 1970's. It is definitely quite loud, and something that is a … [Read more...] about The Sound Spot from Soundfreaq
My review of Element Case’s Recon Pro Case, Rogue Ducati, plus the Fuse Dek Surface Mount and Zip Mount
I've reviewed Element Cases before on this blog. To me, they are one of the best cases for protection around, up there with Otterbox. I got a chance to try out three of their new products, and I will start with the Recon Pro Case for Samsung Galaxy S5. You can see that the Recon Pro has this really cool almost futuristic aesthetic to it, something that I believe is to be … [Read more...] about My review of Element Case’s Recon Pro Case, Rogue Ducati, plus the Fuse Dek Surface Mount and Zip Mount
Audio-Technica ATH-ANC70 QuietPoint headphones
I'm always thrilled to review Audio-Technica's products, such as the ATH-WS77 Solid Bass Headphones. I had a chance to review another one of their over-the-ear headphones, the ATH-ANC70 QuietPoint Active Noise-Cancelling headphones. I definitely think these are one of the most advanced headphones that I have tried as far as the Active Noise-cancelling part is concerned. … [Read more...] about Audio-Technica ATH-ANC70 QuietPoint headphones
Otterbox Preserver and Symmetry Series for the Samsung Galaxy S5
Most of you know that I love Otterbox products, and it really is hard not to love them. I mean, if you want protection for your mobile, most people look to Otterbox or Lifeproof for that kind of great protection. I finally had a chance to out two of the products for the Galaxy S5, the Preserver and Symmetry. The Preserver is one of those covers that is made for … [Read more...] about Otterbox Preserver and Symmetry Series for the Samsung Galaxy S5
Mead’s Trapper Keeper are being made for tablets!
I know that most people are into summer, but school has just begun for me. I am actually tutoring some students this semester, so I can't help but think back to my own days of Trapper Keepers. Yeah, most of us can probably remember Trapper Keepers, and they were and probably still are being used in a paper-filled society. Now that we live in a tablet and smartphone … [Read more...] about Mead’s Trapper Keeper are being made for tablets!
