If you have ever used your fingers to take an imaginary picture of something, then you are getting why the Air Clicker Camera was invented. The Air Clicker is a Bluetooth enabled camera lens that has a motion sensor shutter button on two kinds of bands. All you need to do is just put your fingers in the right positions, and do a click gesture. I have no idea if you will … [Read more...] about Air Clicker Camera requires no camera or smartphone to work
The Brickcase by Smallworks
Well, I am pretty certain that you know that I am a lover of all things LEGO, as I have written two books on it. They are Pratical Lego Technics and Lego Technic Robotics, in case you might want to buy them off Amazon. I once covered a case for a smartphone that was made by Belkin, but this one is from Smallworks. As far as I am concerned, what they are doing is no small … [Read more...] about The Brickcase by Smallworks
Ziphius gets all of its funding on Kickstarter
I have seen a lot of Kickstarter projects come and go, and I found it odd that this particular project, the Ziphius, made its $125,000 funding goals. So what is the Ziphius? It is a drone that you can control while it is in the water, and it has a camera on it, too. I have seen drones like the AR.Drone from parrot that are quadcopters, and they have a camera too. The … [Read more...] about Ziphius gets all of its funding on Kickstarter
Dex Type allows you to type on nothing
Some of you might remember when I covered the Epic from Celluon Store, a laser-projected keyboard that you can type on for a smartphone or tablet. Now the Dex Type wants to take the concept of typing on a tabletop keyboard and remove the keyboard. As you can see in the image, the user is simply moving his or her fingers, and then the proper letters and numbers will … [Read more...] about Dex Type allows you to type on nothing
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Donnie Darko
I know I usually do Speculative Fiction Friday on Friday, but I have changed it so it is Saturday. The reason why I changed it is because less people read my blog on the weekends, so I might as well just do a post that is fun for you and me. Today's sample is a film that has less closure than last week's Blade Runner. Donnie Darko was not a huge hit when it was first … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Donnie Darko
The Jongo S3 and A2 from PURE
The last time I talked about PURE, it was when I was reviewing the Sensia 200D Connect. The company has recently unveiled the Jongo S3 wireless speaker and A2 multiroom Hi-Fi Adapter. I will start with the S3 that you see in the picture to the left. It has four tweeters for 360 degree audio, along with an upward-firing subwoofer for some "powerful bass". You can pair a … [Read more...] about The Jongo S3 and A2 from PURE
Dri Cat Waterproof case for the Galaxy S III/IV from EK USA
I suppose that I could have called this EK USA, part 2, as it deals with another Neck it (not "naked") accessory for smartphones. This is the Dri Cat, a waterproof case. I had a chance to try out the Galaxy S III model, and I did a test with some paper, like I did with the DiCAPac. It passed the test, and it protects the phone as well. You can dip your phone into the … [Read more...] about Dri Cat Waterproof case for the Galaxy S III/IV from EK USA
Tribeca, Part 2: Wooden Earbuds and Headphones
I realize that it has been weeks since I first talked about Tribeca, with the Herringbone Hardshell for the iPhone 5 and the Artisan series for the iPhone 4. In addition to those quality cases, the company also puts out some interesting wooden products with these earbuds and headphones. What you are seeing here is some Maple earbuds, and these wooden chambers in the … [Read more...] about Tribeca, Part 2: Wooden Earbuds and Headphones
Wyers presents Band-Era iPhone 5 case
This is one of those times where the simplest of ideas really works for the user. For those who have an iPhone attached to their hand might as well have an iPhone attached to their hand. Wyers Protective case is described as "revolutionary", and I somewhat agree with that. The strap on the back can go between your fingers, which gives you a terrific one-handed control of … [Read more...] about Wyers presents Band-Era iPhone 5 case
Speak Easy for the iPhone 5 from EK USA
According to the box for the i5 Speak Easy Neck it (that's "neck it" not "naked"), an iPhone is lost every five second. This means that by the time you read this sentence, and iPhone is now lost. Hopefully, it wasn't yours. The i5 Speak Easy comes with a lanyard attachment that is easily detachable at the touch of a button. In case you are worried about the strength of … [Read more...] about Speak Easy for the iPhone 5 from EK USA
Panavise PortaGrip with Suction Cup Mount, in two forms
I have tried out Panavise products before, and I find that they are quite good. I was very pleased to try out the Porta-Grip In-vehicle Phone Holder, and it is a good way to keep your phone near where you need it while you drive. I was lucky to try out two of their models. The first is the PortaGrip with 709B Suction Cup Mount, and it has a telescoping arm that extends to … [Read more...] about Panavise PortaGrip with Suction Cup Mount, in two forms
The Aud 5 High-Fidelity Speaker and Lightning Dock for the iPhone 5, from iLuv
I think that the day that Apple changed their 30-pin connector killed a lot of business of iPod/iPhone docks. There was a time when the iPod dock was big, but that Lightning connector sort of changed everything. Fortunately, iLuv, who has made some great products like the Mobicup, has the Aud 5. I was fortunate enough to try it out, and I have to say it put out a lot of … [Read more...] about The Aud 5 High-Fidelity Speaker and Lightning Dock for the iPhone 5, from iLuv
DiCAPac Waterproof Case for Smartphones
I have reviewed waterproof cases for smartphones, like the Armor case for the Galaxy S III and the iPhone 5. Most of these cases are specialty cases made for a specific phone, but I like DiCAPac's approach. I had a chance to try out the WP-C1, and it is great because it is made for all kinds of phones. It works with a Ziploc top, and then two velcro locks. It was … [Read more...] about DiCAPac Waterproof Case for Smartphones

Volvo’s new crash-free technologies
It is interesting to see how automobile companies are trying to prevent accidents. Those back-up cameras are a good help, but Volvo is putting some very interesting features on their newest models, starting with their 2014 series. You can watch the video and see that it has pedestrian detection in darkness, which will cause the car to slow to a complete stop when a … [Read more...] about Volvo’s new crash-free technologies
