I've been hearing a lot of bad things about the Wii U, and yeah, its sales have not been good enough so that Nintendo may never give it a sequel. The problem is this could be an end to certain beloved characters like Mario, and I've heard it said that even a new Legend of Zelda gamed could not resurrect Nintendo's glory. That is a shame, because I would hate to lose Metroid. … [Read more...] about Nintendo, please bring back Metroid!
CleverPet is an electronic game for your dog
Well, you know that I just had to report on this one. Hey, I love gaming consoles, and I love dogs. Why would I not report on a gaming console for a dog? Okay, so it doesn't have a screen or controller, or a touchscreen for the dog's paws. It has a few buttons that will allow the dog to hit buttons in order to get a treat, provided it hits the button at the right time. … [Read more...] about CleverPet is an electronic game for your dog
PaperFold is a smartphone you can fold up
Today must be some weird concept interface day. I already talked about TouchTools, and how simple interesting gestures could be used on any touchscreen to do the same things. Today, I'll discussing how the touchscreen as we know it could become a fad. This is the Paperfold, an interesting interface that could just as easily become the new standard of samrtphone. As you … [Read more...] about PaperFold is a smartphone you can fold up
Introducing a new touchscreen interaction tool with TouchTools
I'm still going with this new thing with my blog, saying how I my posts were going to more timeless. In the case of this subject, it actually links to a subject that I was talking about a few days about with this new smartwatch interface.

Well, this would be the first accessory that I have reviewed for the Samsung Galaxy S 5, and CM4 produces a lot of good ones like the case for the Galaxy S4.

It can hold 3 credit … [Read more...] about Q Card Case for Galaxy S5 from CM4
Epson LabelWorks LW-600P, a portable label printer
I got a chance to try out the Epson LabelWorks LW-600P, and I personally thing that every home is probably going to need one. I don't really have a formal name for this device, so I'll just describe it the way Epson describes it: "the first app-enabled label printer on the market". Basically, the LW-600P is a portable printer powered by 6 AA batteries (or included AC … [Read more...] about Epson LabelWorks LW-600P, a portable label printer
How the blog is going to change
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

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
