Scanadu is a working tricorder
It really seems like we are living in a future era with technology that is practically connected to our bodies, just so we can get the ideal workout.

Their booth had some replicas of tricorders from the show, so I kind of get the feeling that they are really taking this … [Read more...] about Scanadu is a working tricorder

Whenever you attend CES, there tends to be booths with all kinds of cool stuff that try to entice you to learn more. In the case of the Ozobot, it was the cool thing. I knew that I just had to report on the Ozobot when I saw this tiny little robot be trained to follow a dark line. I also knew that I wasn't going to be able to describe it very well, but just imagine a … [Read more...] about Ozobot dazzles at CES 2014

What you are seeing here could be the end of you cleaning the floors as we know it. Personally, I don't have any problem with that. This is the RYDIS H68 Pro, a hybrid robot that is capable doing mopping and vacuuming, even at the same time. As far as the mopping is concerned, it has the water with a tank that is 25 percent bigger than others of its type. The RYDIS has … [Read more...] about Moneual RYDIS H68 robot vacuum and mop
Dream One Wireless Speaker System
What you are seeing here might like the evil version of Sen.se's Mother, or maybe the good version if this is the opposite of the Mother.

This wireless speaker is able to produce some … [Read more...] about Dream One Wireless Speaker System
Trew Grip Mobile QWERTY keyboard
I know that I have said this before, but I hate typing on a touchscreen. I can see that this is where we are headed, but I can't help but think if my addiction to the clickity-click of keys will make me analog in a digital touchscreen world. The worst part is trying to hold a touchscreen device and type on it at the same time. Then along came Trew Grip. This thing is an … [Read more...] about Trew Grip Mobile QWERTY keyboard
Sen.se Big Mother is watching you. Good thing?
I am going to be honest with you and say that there is a little bit of sensationalism in my headline. I am not certain if it is justified, but let's just say that Sen.se Mother is a little Orwellian. This Matryoshka doll without layers is the Mother, and it is designed to keep its eye on you and your loved ones. This isn't a nanny-cam, but it is essentially a hub for … [Read more...] about Sen.se Big Mother is watching you. Good thing?

Tobii and YEI Technology show the future of gaming at CES Unveiled
In the future, will we be wearing our game for a completely immersive experience? I honestly don't see why not.

Drones take the floor at CES Unveiled 2014
I can honestly tell you that last night at CES Unveiled was a little bit of a shoulder-to-shoulder, standing room only event. One of the things that got a lot of press was anything that was above the floor. Parrot, for example, had their new MiniDrone on hand. The MiniDrone is the blue one that you can see in the image here, and it has detachable side wheels for land … [Read more...] about Drones take the floor at CES Unveiled 2014

Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Wolverine
Well, I had a chance to see Mr. Hugh Jackman in The Wolverine the other day, and I wish that I didn't. This is the sixth time he has played this movie role that established him as an actor, and it is the worst Wolverine film since...the last Wolverine film. I am referring to X-men Origins (Colon) Wolverine. It is a real shame, as this film started off so well with Logan … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Wolverine
The Tactical Laser-Guided Pizza Cutter
I don't know about you, but cutting pizza is always a bane for me. It seems like it never cuts enough, and you end up pulling to separate only to have serious toppings ripped off. This particular pizza cutter has a laser/flashlight scope so it creates a straight line cut. Hey, you never know when you need that kind of precision. I think any argument that you can have … [Read more...] about The Tactical Laser-Guided Pizza Cutter
