Okay, I'm not going to lie to you. This blog makes me little money. About five years ago, I started this blog, thinking that I might make some money off this. It has, but in all honesty, not the way that I intended. The truth is I wanted to create a blog that would be a cross between my two favorite things: Christianity and technology. I wasn't certain whether or not … [Read more...] about How the blog is going to change
Speculative Fiction Saturday starts Pixar month with Up
Okay, I like watching a lot of critic shows such as the Nostalgia Critic, and I've been re-watching Linkara, who reviews comic books. These shows often have themed months, where they review things that have a similar thread. For me, I'm going to discuss four films by a studio owned by Disney: Pixar. Oh, Pixar, there are a lot of happy memories that I associate with you. … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday starts Pixar month with Up
The T 51 i Headphones from Beyerdynamic
I'm always pleased to review Beyerdynamic products, and I recently had a chance to check out the T 51 p. I was very pleased to review the T 51 i. I honestly believe that the only difference between the T 51 p and the T 51 i is that the T 51 i is licensed to work on the iPod, iPhone, and iPad. I believe that it is made to work with the three-button remote and microphone, … [Read more...] about The T 51 i Headphones from Beyerdynamic
I’m doing my part and reporting on the YEZZ Billy 4.7!
Okay, I'm going to report on a new smartphone. This isn't the new iPhone or Galaxy S series. This is the YEZZ Billy 4.7. Never heard of it? Yeah, me neither. This is one of those times where I just want to talk about independent things. Yeah, I guess it's the nonconformist in me. The Billy 4.7 has a 4.7-inch display with a 1280 x 720 HD resolution. It has a … [Read more...] about I’m doing my part and reporting on the YEZZ Billy 4.7!
Smartwatches could get a new way of interface with this technology
I have talked about smartwatches before, and how they are really made for just notifications that are in sync with your smartphone. The problem is that one's finger is almost as big as the screen, so you can't really use apps in the same way you can on a smartphone or tablet. According to researchers from Carnegie Mellon, the solution is to make the smartwatch controller … [Read more...] about Smartwatches could get a new way of interface with this technology
Lunecase: A protective case powered by electromagnetic radiation
It seems like I keep hearing stuff about how cell phones emit electromagnetic radiation, and can't help but wonder if it will really be harmful. This is one of those issues like climate change, where one side thinks there is a definite connection, while the other isn't certain whether there is enough scientific evidence. Whatever the answer is, apparently this particular … [Read more...] about Lunecase: A protective case powered by electromagnetic radiation
If you are interested, they have assembled the cast of Star Wars Episode VII
Yesterday, I mentioned that I was trying to be a bit more serious on my technology reporting, but I couldn't help reporting on the finding of E.T. Atari 2600 games. I guess I have too much of a personal connection to them, just like I have with Star Wars. In case you haven't heard, Disney bought Star Wars for about 4 billion. The first thing that they want to do is make … [Read more...] about If you are interested, they have assembled the cast of Star Wars Episode VII
Acer unveils the Iconia One 7, Tab 7 Tablets, and the Switch 10
In New York today, Acer made a big announcement about three particular tablets. I won't go into detail about some other announcements like the smartphone, but here's the info about the tablets. I'll start with the Iconia One 7 tablet, with a 7-inch LED backlit IPS display with 1,280 x 800 pixle resolution. It features Android 4.2 Jelly Bean with promises to update to Kit … [Read more...] about Acer unveils the Iconia One 7, Tab 7 Tablets, and the Switch 10
E.T. Atari 2600 game found
In this next week, I am going to be changing gears on this blog and will devote my time writing on it to more serious technological comics. Sure, it will still be geeky, and who knows, I might report on stuff like this in the future. I will have to say that I have a kind of personal connection to this. As a kid, I loved the Atari 2600, and I also liked E.T.. When the … [Read more...] about E.T. Atari 2600 game found
Xapo: A Debit Card for Bitcoin
I actually think this is the first time I have ever mentioned Bitcoin on this particular blog. If you are not familiar with it, it is a type of digital currency that is made for P2P (peer to peer) that works for worldwide payments with zero or low processing fees. I guess it was about time that someone invented the Xapo Debit Card, which works on a similar method to other … [Read more...] about Xapo: A Debit Card for Bitcoin
The Rollick by iLuv
I believe that Dr. Dre's Beats has created this pill-shaped speaker, and it looks like iLuv have come out with their own version. I'm going to look at this as coincidental design. The Rollick, which I will have to say sounds a lot like my last name, has dual speakers for producing awesome sound. This is a wireless speaker with Bluetooth, or aux-in wired possibility as … [Read more...] about The Rollick by iLuv
Jabra Rox Wireless
Yeah, at this point, there is no way I am going to give a negative review of a Jabra product. Their Bluetooth wireless products occupy my ear every day, and they have been in the business for a long time. I'm not going to bother trying to describe the sound of the new Rox Wireless, because how am I supposed to do that in written form? I'll just tell you that it has the … [Read more...] about Jabra Rox Wireless
Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Coneheads, and it isn’t good
Well, I hesitate to call this speculative fiction, as The Coneheads has always been more comedy than it has been speculative. In case you are not familiar with The Coneheads, it was originally a sketch from Saturday Night Live. I have seen a few of The Coneheads sketches from the 1970's, and they are pretty funny. The premise was that two aliens, Beldar (Dan Aykroyd) and … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Coneheads, and it isn’t good
Al Fayah Park will be a stunning addition to Abu Dhabi
I don't know if you are familiar with the city of Abu Dhabi, but it is quite a city of the future in the midst of the desert. It is the home to Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building. Now there is this plan for Al Fayah Park, which is an artificially created oasis in the midst of an ersatz desert. In the Park are "cafés, community gardens, a public library, … [Read more...] about Al Fayah Park will be a stunning addition to Abu Dhabi
@7PM by Looq System
As I mentioned before in my review for the Blumoo, people are using their smartphones for all kinds of controllers. The product known as @7PM by Looq system is meant to change the smartphone into a master Universal remote. The @7PM, which I will have to admit has an odd name, and I can't turn off the automatic link to this one guy's Twitter site. This product is … [Read more...] about @7PM by Looq System
