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
Hasbro presents the Furby Boom, with a special guest reviewer!
I'm sure some of you remember Furby's, as they were the must-have holiday gift back in the late nineties, along with the Tickle Me Elmo of the mid-nineties. After that, I don't know what toy is the must-have. I am assuming that this year's must haves were the Xbox One and the PS4, but Hasbro, makers of Transformers Constructo-Bots and Angry Birds Star Wars toys has the … [Read more...] about Hasbro presents the Furby Boom, with a special guest reviewer!
Moleskin combines Lego with a journal
I suppose that this next product isn't really a gadget per se, but I'm pretty certain I have made many mentions on this blog of my love of all things LEGO. This LEGO notebook from Moleskine is with it to have if you want to journal more for the new year. Moleskine, a company that makes a lot of quality notebooks, planners, and journals, has created a LEGO notebook. This … [Read more...] about Moleskin combines Lego with a journal
Bosco Verticale under construction
I am always interested in projects that are environmentally sound and have sustainable power involved, and this Bosco Verticale could set a standard. According to my Source, "this building will help balance the microclimate and in filtering the dust particles contained in the urban environment, especially with Milan being one of the most polluted cities in Europe". I … [Read more...] about Bosco Verticale under construction
2013: A Year in Tech
Well, the year has almost ended, and I thought I would take the time out to talk about what impacted us the most this year. This is not going to be in any particular order, so don't interpret this as a "Top Ten" list. No More Woof, simply because it is so very interesting. Perhaps I should nominate it as my crowdfunded project of the year. It was definitely the year … [Read more...] about 2013: A Year in Tech
My Review of Lego Marvel Heroes
Unlike my last review of the Golf-X-Cube, I actually have a lot of experience playing LEGO-oriented video games. In fact, I have everyone that they have made since the first LEGO Star Wars, and I love them a lot, even though they have changed very little since their conception. For those that are not familiar with them, the LEGO games are usually tied in with a popular … [Read more...] about My Review of Lego Marvel Heroes
Golf-X-Cube will help improve your game
I'm going to start this review and say that I am probably not the audience that would want this product. I think we all know that people who golf are like those who like Doctor Who. that is, you have heard about it, but don't want to get into it, and might not understand those who are into it. I am the type who has heard of golf, never saw any need to get into it. Since … [Read more...] about Golf-X-Cube will help improve your game
Speculative Fiction Saturday: S1m0ne
In case you are wondering, I believe that the proper pronunciation of this film's title, is "Simone", like the name. This isn't the name of the film's main character, because the Simone character in this film isn't real. Besides, Al Pacino is over the title, so you know he's the main character. Okay, I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me get to the plotline of this film. … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: S1m0ne
The ChargeKey by Nomad
I am pretty familiar with the Chargecard. I first saw it at CES 2013, and I believe it was nothing more than a Kickstarter project then. I am pleased to see that it has now developed into the ChargeKey, which works for the iPhone 5/5S/5C, Lightning iPad, and iPad Mini. The ChargeKey, as its name suggests, is about the size of a key. It is a charging cord, and it is not … [Read more...] about The ChargeKey by Nomad
LG and Sony planning to unveil smartwatches?
Even though I was against smartwatches before, I am now starting to like them since my review of the Galaxy Gear. I have been hearing for a while that Apple is working on it own version of the smartwatch, and here is a another surprise, LG and Sony are apparently working on smartwatches as well. The one that LG is working on could be the G Arch, and it could be related to … [Read more...] about LG and Sony planning to unveil smartwatches?
Cubli robot cube can “jump, balance, and walk”
Okay, the Cubli is definitely the Christmas gift that you didn't get yesterday, but you probably can't buy it now. I put a video of the Cubli here because it is just very cool. Developed by researchers at ETH Zurich's Institute Systems and Control, it has three spinning motors that will spin in order to gain some kind of angular momentum for balance. I believe that there … [Read more...] about Cubli robot cube can “jump, balance, and walk”
Grippity Android tablet allows double-sided control
Grippity Doo-Dah, Grippity Ay! My oh my, what a way to input your...okay, this intro isn't working. However, I like the Grippity, which is an Android tablet which stands out from all the other Android tablets out there. Considering all the other Android tablets out there, that is saying a lot. You see, the Grippity has double control thanks to a back control. The … [Read more...] about Grippity Android tablet allows double-sided control
Holiday list for Christmas 2013
Today's post, and only post for the holidays, will be simply a summary of things you can buy for the holiday. It is made for those last-minute shoppers, or for those who did their shopping too late. They are in the order of when I reviewed. For those that want a new phone, Galaxy S Note 3! I like that Galaxy S IV, too. You might want to hold it with an Armpocket … [Read more...] about Holiday list for Christmas 2013
Up comes alive with No More Woof
Okay, lately the Disney channel has been showing Up, and I highly recommend watching this surreal flick if you haven't seen it yet. The film has just enough unbelievability, but not so much that it alienates the viewer. I know that the main character's house could probably not be held aloft by that number of balloons, but I'm willing to pardon that. What I enjoy is when the … [Read more...] about Up comes alive with No More Woof
