I have seen some interesting set-ups for vehicles of the future, and this particular one is quite interesting for a society that insists on one person-per-car, no matter how inefficient it may be for society as a whole. This is the n-Three, and it has a single built-in electric engine that only powers the rear wheel. The steering is done with the two front wheels, and the … [Read more...] about nThree is the motorized trike of the future
D-Link Wireless Range Extender DAP-1320
I have seen a lot of wireless range extenders, and I will have to say this one from D-Link is probably the most compact and simple. Products like the zBoost Metro can increase the range, as well as this Wireless N300 Range Finder from D-Link, makers of the AC1750 Dual Band Gigabit Cloud Router. The Wireless N300 Range Extender, or DAP-1320, is a simple small device that … [Read more...] about D-Link Wireless Range Extender DAP-1320
No more Amazon Lockers in Radio Shack and Staples
I have never seen one of these Amazon Lockers before, but the big A wanted to put their stations at stores like Staples, Radio Shack, and other major retailers. The purpose would be for customers to order their merchandise there and pick it up at the store instead of missing a delivery from their home. Yeah, if you aren't home, you can really miss some things. I am not … [Read more...] about No more Amazon Lockers in Radio Shack and Staples
Tell me what you think of iOS7
Okay, we had something pretty big happen yesterday with the release of iOS7, and I have been hearing mixed reviews of it. I have a lot of people complaining about the downloading. Something tells me that Apple's help line was brimming with calls for that one. In addition to this, a lot of people are complaining about the Calendar. There have been some compliments, like … [Read more...] about Tell me what you think of iOS7
Kinetic Sand is a very cool creation toy
I'm sure that we all have played with stuff like Play-Doh, but this kind of construction toy that is not as messy as that. Yeah, my kids have Play-Doh, but I am not exactly in a rush to take it out. The weirdest thing about this product is it is sand. Actually, it is 90 percent sand, and 2 percent I am not sure. You can see from the video that it comes apart and then … [Read more...] about Kinetic Sand is a very cool creation toy
Frontback gives your iPhone Galaxy S4 camera abilities
In my review of the Galaxy S4, I discussed the handy feature of using the front and back cameras being used at the same time. Now there is an app for that, for the iPhone. Considering that the iPhone has had front and back facing cameras for a few versions now, it is odd that it doesn't have this feature. It is really cool that this FrontBack app, which can't have been too … [Read more...] about Frontback gives your iPhone Galaxy S4 camera abilities
SteelSeries, Part 3: The Free Mobile Wireless Controller
Today I will conclude our SteelSeries series with the Free Mobile Wireless Controller. This does not mean that it is free, but it is a wireless controller called the Free. I can't help but compare it to the Nyko PlayPad Pro, as I just reviewed that one particular controller for Android just recently. The Free is for multiplatform control, which means it is good for iOS, … [Read more...] about SteelSeries, Part 3: The Free Mobile Wireless Controller
Occipital’s Structure Sensor gives your iPad 3D seeing power
As I mentioned the other day in my report of the Zeus, the 3D printer/scanner, it is clear that we are entering into an age of 3D printing. This particular Occipital Structure Sensor, also a Kickstarter project, is designed to bring the 3D world to the 2D iPad screen. The Structure Sensor is designed to clip right onto the iPad itself. From there, you can scan a room in … [Read more...] about Occipital’s Structure Sensor gives your iPad 3D seeing power
SteelSeries, Part 2: Sensei MLG Edition Gaming Mouse
Okay, this is the second part of my SteelSeries series. Yeah, that doesn't sound good, does it. But today is the Sensei MLG Edition Gaming Mouse. The MLG stand for Major League Gaming. I don't know if the professional gamers have a league of their own, but if they did, this is quite cool and would be the standard. I definitely have to say that it would require a major … [Read more...] about SteelSeries, Part 2: Sensei MLG Edition Gaming Mouse
Tradinno is the world’s largest robot, and it is a fire-breathing dragon!
This is Tradinno, and it is the World's Largest Walking Robot. It was created by Zollner Elektronik AG, and it is 30-feet high with 40 feet wings. All that, and it breathes fire. I believe that he is used in a stage production of a Bavarian play called Drachenstich. He has his own 18-wheeler to carry him places, and it is pretty humorous. It all weighs about 11 … [Read more...] about Tradinno is the world’s largest robot, and it is a fire-breathing dragon!

This week, I am going review a lot of interesting products from SteelSeries, who makes "professional gaming gear".

Not only does it have the cool side lights, but sections of the keys can light up. You can use 5 independent color … [Read more...] about SteelSeries Part 1: The Apex Gaming Keyboard
Zeus 3D Scanner and Printer
I think we all know that the age of 3-D printing is coming, but we all know that 3-D printing means nothing without some 3-D inspiration. I was thinking that we need some 3-D downloadable programs. That, or you could get yourself a 3D scanner. I don't really know if there is any companies that make 3D scanners, but there is a combination 3-D printer and scanner known as … [Read more...] about Zeus 3D Scanner and Printer
The Aeroscraft has taken off
What you are seeing here is the Aeroscraft, and it is essentially a huge airship that is not a blimp. Seriously? That's not a blimp? Nope. Blimps need all that helium to maintain their shape, but the Aeroscraft has a rigid structure. Have you seen how blimps need propellers to have some propulsion? Well, the Aeroscraft doesn't need that, as it has some helium power. This … [Read more...] about The Aeroscraft has taken off
Wacom unveils new Bamboo stylii and Pads
We have reviewed Wacom products more than once on this site, and I am always pleased to review their notepad products. When I mean notepad, I mean a place where you can write and draw with a stylus. Wacom has just announced the Bamboo Pad, and it is not a notepad kind of thing. This one is pretty small, only a little bigger than the size of one's hand. The Pad offers the … [Read more...] about Wacom unveils new Bamboo stylii and Pads
A Very Special Speculative Fiction Saturday: Left Behind (2000) and why in the world are you remaking it!
I suppose we all knew that this one was coming. After all, a site about technology and geek culture, reviewing speculative fictions films every week, it is only a matter of time before the biggest speculative Christian film of all time was reviewed here. If you aren't familiar with Left Behind, it was a series of books that sold very well in both secular and Christian … [Read more...] about A Very Special Speculative Fiction Saturday: Left Behind (2000) and why in the world are you remaking it!
