For some reason, whenever I think "iPod", I can't help but "earbuds". I have no idea if Apple invented the earbud, but I just associate their iPod with it. These particular earbuds from T-Tech by Tumi are definitely made for Apple products. It even has an Apple certified in-line controller and microphone which is made so you can use play, pause, answer calls, track … [Read more...] about T-Tech by Tumi Performance Driver Series Earset

I have been wanting to review the TYLT ENERGI+ BACKPACK for quite a while, and I finally got the chance. Heck, I have been talking about TYLT products for years, and they live up to their "built to last" slogan. The ENERGI+ BACKPACK is something that someone like me truly needs. I carry around a backpack in my laptop so I can work on the go from time to time, but without … [Read more...] about TYLT Energi + Backpack
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Pixar Films, and the rest
Well, we have covered all the speculative fiction films of Pixar, and now it is time to discuss the rest. Personally, all of the Pixar films have some speculative element, and these are the ones that have the least amount. A Bug's Life: When I first watched this film, I immediately watched it again. I cannot remember any film that I have liked that much. Generally, I … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Pixar Films, and the rest
Performance Art piece has flying drones
I have reported a lot on drones for this particular blog, and I found this particular video with AscTec Hummingbird drones being used with dancers, and I am surprised that I haven't seen more like it. After all, performance art is all about dancing and doing weird stuff, right? Why not have a dance done with a little bit of flying robots with pyramids on them? Apparently it … [Read more...] about Performance Art piece has flying drones
Moment Lens for smartphones and tablets
I'm not certain what it is, but there is apparently quite a market for lenses for smartphone cameras. I guess too many of us are taking pictures with just our smartphones, and the lenses just aren't that good. The Moment lens is made to "empower mobile picture takers with the best lenses in the world". This isn't really a new idea. I've reviewed various lenses by … [Read more...] about Moment Lens for smartphones and tablets
The Zimri Z-T210 Touch Control Headphones and Z-11 Portable Bluetooth Speaker
If you are not familiar with Zimri's product line, then you should really get to know them as soon as you can. I'm going to review two Bluetooth products from them, the Z-T210 and Z-11. I'll go ahead and start with the Z-11. It is a small speaker that I will admit that I have seen before, but I enjoy the small size of products like these. This one produces some pretty … [Read more...] about The Zimri Z-T210 Touch Control Headphones and Z-11 Portable Bluetooth Speaker
LG announces the G3
LG has been up to awesome tricks for a while with smartphones like the G2, and now they have announced the G3. The G3 has a slogan of "simple is the new smart", which is a good way of saying that anyone can use this phone. The display of the G3 includes a 5.5 inch Quad HD display with four times the resolution of HD and twice as high resolution of Full HD display. It has … [Read more...] about LG announces the G3
URME Mask allows you to avoid surveillance
I found this article about the URME Mask on a site that I used to write on, and I couldn't believe that this existed. Apparently, some man named Leo Selvaggio created a mask that you can literally take to the streets, in order to avoid any surveillance. This man lives in Chicago, and this city is apparently the most watched city in America. I thought that London was the … [Read more...] about URME Mask allows you to avoid surveillance
Holland Haptics Frebble lets you hold hands from a distance
If you saw my posts yesterday, you know that I was all about rejecting social networking, smartphones, and the Internet, and enjoying a nice sunny day. Well, it would appear that the Internet can simulate a hand-holding experience with the Frebble. The Frebble, by Holland Haptics, allows for two users to feel the sensation of their hand being squeezed by someone from a … [Read more...] about Holland Haptics Frebble lets you hold hands from a distance
This Sesame Street video also encourages us to “Look Up”
Man, today must be "get off the computer and enjoy life day", because both of my posts for today are essentially that theme. I highly recommend watching the "Look Up" video before catching this one. I honestly believe that this simple video from Sesame Street better illustrates the points of "Look Up" in a less heavy-handed way. I highly recommend watching this for the … [Read more...] about This Sesame Street video also encourages us to “Look Up”
My Response to the “Look Up” video
At my church on Sunday, I had a chance to see this viral video known as "Look Up", which has apparently been very popular at about 40 million hits. Let me just say that it is difficult to criticize a video that has a very good heart. Not to be too much of a spoiler, but the video warns that we live in an age of technology and social media, but we are still very lonely. … [Read more...] about My Response to the “Look Up” video
Introduce the new generation to old school with R-Type Dimensions
I had an interesting opportunity to try out a video game from the nineties, or maybe it is from the eighties. This is R-Type, and perhaps you remember it from the arcade, or from the Sega Genesis, like I do. What is really interesting was when I downloaded it on the Playstation 3. I thought I was going to have some retro video game fun, and I did. What was really … [Read more...] about Introduce the new generation to old school with R-Type Dimensions
Soundbook X3 form Bayan Audio
I'm sure most of my readers know that I review many Bluetooth speakers, and so it would take a lot for me to admit that one is the best. Generally, I judge by whether or not the sound is quality. For the Soundbook X3 by Bayan Audio, It is quite good. I am not certain what makes it so good, but let me just say that you can feel the smooth defined bass with your hand as … [Read more...] about Soundbook X3 form Bayan Audio
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Pixar Month, the Toy Story series
I'll be honest with you when I have to say that it will be difficult to review these three Pixar films, as the original is one of my favorite films of all time. I'm not certain why, as I remember seeing it while I was on a vacation, and I enjoyed it immensely. I think part of it was it was the first full-length feature animated film, and so it was a type of storytelling … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Pixar Month, the Toy Story series
DIY Colin Furze going crazy with X-men technology
I am not certain who this Colin Furze guy is, but man, he is making a huge Internet star of himself by designing stuff that is X-men related. The video above is the second thing he designed, and they are magnetic shoes. I'm going to geek-nitpick here, but I'm not certain that Magneto is a good reference point here. I mean, I suppose Magneto could walk on things that are … [Read more...] about DIY Colin Furze going crazy with X-men technology
