I am doing my best to get as many hits as possible, and the easiest way is with social media. So, thanks to HootSuite, all my posts on my WordPress blog will be posted to Facebook.

Speculative Fiction Friday: Blade Runner, the classic sci-fi noir which I still don’t get
I started Speculative Fiction Friday to celebrate some of my favorite speculative fiction films, as well as others that I find interesting. I have talked about ones that I didn't like, but I don't include Blade Runner in that category. I consider Blade Runner to be a good film, but not essentially one of my favorites. It is a landmark of a film whose influence can be … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Friday: Blade Runner, the classic sci-fi noir which I still don’t get
The Waka Waka Solar Charger plans to change the world
It isn't often that you see technology poised to essentially change the world. I have to admire the WakaWaka Solar Charger as the goal of its creators doesn't seem to be making money on useful technology, but helping out other countries. The WakaWaka Solar Charger isn't an idea that is new, because there are a lot of batteries for mobile devices that you can purchase on … [Read more...] about The Waka Waka Solar Charger plans to change the world
Zyroshell Phone Cradle
After reviewing the TYLT Capio Universal Car Mount, I am seeing a trend with the stands that I review. They seem to have some weird sticky stuff to put a phone on so it can hold it in place. This is the case of the Zyroshell, which is a cradle that can open up to rotate 180 degrees. You can then stick your phone or tablet on the circle of stickiness, and it holds about a … [Read more...] about Zyroshell Phone Cradle
Ampjacket turns up the sound for the iPhone
I suppose that a lot of iPhone users want to be free of the tangle of earbuds, and if you don't want to invest in a pair of wireless headphones or earbuds, you might want to just get an amplifier. The Ampjacket from Kubxlab (I have no idea how to pronounce that) and it is a way to get some kickin' sound from your iPhone 5. All that is required is just attaching it to the … [Read more...] about Ampjacket turns up the sound for the iPhone
Litholo Hologram Kit, for making full-color holograms at home!
I have always wondered why we haven't become a holographic society, like what we have seen in speculative fiction films like Star Wars and the like. The Litholo Hologram Kit could be a start of a new era. The Litholo Hologram Kit enables a user to create full-color holograms in such a way that is not as expensive as most that you see. I'm pretty certain that the hologram … [Read more...] about Litholo Hologram Kit, for making full-color holograms at home!
A smartphone, that can be worn as a watch, is in Limbo
Yes, I did just get finished talking about how Microsoft might be working on a smartwatch, and now I am going to talk about another possible smartwatch, the Limbo. This Limbo smartwatch is very interesting because it is somewhat flexible, so it will fit on a wrist. All I can say is that this is brilliant. It is designed by Jaebyun Yeon, who I consider to be a genius. … [Read more...] about A smartphone, that can be worn as a watch, is in Limbo
KickShot: Soccer as a board game
I am not certain why Americans have never really embraced football, and I mean soccer. Fortunately, we are making up for it by having soccer teams for our kids. KickShot is a game that brings soccer indoors, and even though it can be played by children, it is engaging for adults as well. The game is set up with a board that looks like a soccer field, and a small soccer … [Read more...] about KickShot: Soccer as a board game
Microsoft working on a smartwatch?
I have been hearing a lot of talk about smartwatches these days, and I think it has to do with the rumored iWatch. Yeah, if Apple is going to try and create another market, there is bound to be some imitators. Yes, this is the Microscoft version of the iWatch, so I guess we could call it the Zune Watch. I believe the Xbox team was working on this, and now the Surface … [Read more...] about Microsoft working on a smartwatch?
Lernstift is a pen that can correct your writing
Okay, considering the proliferation of computers, smartphones, and tablets, does anyone even use pen and paper anymore. I don't need to sound like the lone writer here, but I have been known to do the first drafts of my writing with pen and paper because it is very, very relaxing. I generally don't worry about making errors at that point, but imagine if a pen could warn you … [Read more...] about Lernstift is a pen that can correct your writing
My Review of Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11S Convertible Ultrabook
There seems to be a phenomenon with Ultrabooks, and I like how this IdeaPad Yoga 11S has four different modes. I like the symbols for this with a Laptop, Tablet, Tent, and the Stand. If those symbols confuse you, just imagine them in the shapes that you see there. I like something that can be a laptop and a tablet all at once. That whole tent mode is really interesting, and … [Read more...] about My Review of Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11S Convertible Ultrabook
TYLT Capio w/NFC Universal Smartphone Car Mount
I have reviewed products form TYLT before, most recently, the Vu Wireless Charger. The company is very good at the accessories that it creates, and they have truly responded to customers' needs with the Capio Universal Car Mount with NFC. There are a lot of Car Mounts, and one of the things that keeps them from being Universal is that smartphone and other cellular phones … [Read more...] about TYLT Capio w/NFC Universal Smartphone Car Mount
The Epic from the Celluon Store lives up to its namesake
I have heard the use of the word "epic" a lot lately, and this word is really overused now. I mean, there is a movie out this summer with that title of Epic, and it looks completely the opposite of epic. I consider the word epic to describe the hero's journey, like Star Wars, The Matrix, or Lord of the Rings. The funny thing is that I believe that the Epic by Celluon is … [Read more...] about The Epic from the Celluon Store lives up to its namesake
Eagle Trilogy, Part 4: ET-NP056-K Portable Battery Pack
Some of you might remember my Eagle Trilogy. I have been fortunate enough to review yet another Eagle product, which means that I am on the fourth in this trilogy. Yeah, a trilogy usually ends at three, but I have seen so many films designed as trilogies have more films then they really should have. Eagle has produced some really great products like the Foldable … [Read more...] about Eagle Trilogy, Part 4: ET-NP056-K Portable Battery Pack
Atlas human powered helicopter breaks an aviation record
Just to let you know, I don't exactly get inspiration for articles with a fax by God. I will be honest when I say that most of the time, I just talk about whatever the heck seems interesting when I read it. In this case, I saw something that I thought looked interesting, and so I did a search on "Atlas". I found my last two articles had "Atlas" in the title, so I just sort … [Read more...] about Atlas human powered helicopter breaks an aviation record
