Even though I am many months late in reviewing Marvel's triumphant super-hero movie, The Avengers, I figured I might as well review this particular one. This isn't to say that this 1998 film is better by any stretch of the imagination, but I will admit that I saw it more than once, but never in the theater. The film had everything it needed to be a summer blockbuster. It … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Friday: The Avengers, and not the most recent one

Mobile devices are usually not a friend to someone on the go. You will always see groups of people camping out at the electrical outlet, just to get a little juice for their laptop, tablet, or phone. Fortunately, ECBC has created three new types of carry-on baggage that will help this problem. The first is the Sparrow Rolling Garment Bag. In addition to the portable … [Read more...] about ECBC new rolling luggage is equipped for portable power

I have seen a lot of USB keys that have all your passwords loaded into them. Generally, this is just to save you a few seconds so you don't need to constantly type in that user name and password. The myIDkey is like that, as you stick it into your USB drive and don't have to worry about the tedious nature of logging in all the time. Now, in case you worry about someone … [Read more...] about Biometric USB Password Key

I think we are all interested in Google's Glass project. If you aren't familiar with it, it is a pair of googles that are essentially a head-mounted display, and it could change the world of mobile computing as we know it. Google is now putting out a video that shows what it could be like to have it, and it has made me long for it. Of course, the people in the video are … [Read more...] about Google’s video about the Glass

I think all of us have a personal paper shredder. I suppose it is because we believe those stories about people digging through our garbage to steal our personal information. Some of us might have one of those cheap jobs that can fit onto a trash can. I find that those tend to jam more than they should, and then I have had to open them up to dig out the excess paper. I … [Read more...] about The Powershred 73Ci paper shredder from Fellowes

It is a pretty big week for tech unveiling this week, as HTC just unveiled the One, and now Sony has unveiled the Playstation 4 (PS 4). I have been hearing about this for a long time, and have reported on a few rumors about them. They finally made it official with a press event in New York, and it will feature some improved graphics thanks to an Octa-core x86 64-bit CPU, … [Read more...] about Sony announces the Playstation 4 (PS4)

Imagine being able to literally draw in the air, and now imagine it is possible with the 3Doodler. The 3Doodler is a pen that has an ink cartridge with ABS or PLA plastic, the same type of plastic that 3D printers use. When you write this in air, the plastic comes out melted, and then it will harden to form these interesting shapes that you see here. I have admit, they … [Read more...] about 3Doodler is a pen that allows you to draw in the air

I realize that I have reviewed two Jill-E products yesterday with the Laptop Career Bag and the Metro Tablet Bag, and today is going to be about the Jack Large Rolling Bag. Yes, Jill-E sent me a lot of their bags to review, and this will be the last one in this trilogy. The Large Rolling Bag is designed for those who are photographers, apparently. If you open up the main … [Read more...] about Jack Large Rolling Bag from Jill-E Designs

I figured since I have already reviewed the Ollo Clip for the iPhone 4, I might as well check out the iPhone 5 version. For those who aren't familiar with the Ollo Clip, it is a "quick-connect" lens solution for the iPhone. All I can say is that I hope that the iPhone 6 has these 3-in-1 lenses on them, but until then, the Ollo Clip is a snap-on solution for Apple's popular … [Read more...] about Olloclip for the iPhone 5

I have been hearing a lot about the newest flagship phone from HTC, which is simply called The One. It was announced yesterday with a big conference and all, and I wanted to get the details before I wrote the article. The One has a shell made from a solid block of aluminum that my Source reveals takes 200 minutes to carve. I am also told that the phone is somehow light … [Read more...] about Introducing the HTC One

I realize that I have already reviewed a Jill-E product with the Jack Metro Tablet Bag, and the only reason why I am reviewing another is because Jill-E sent me the Laptop Career Bag as well. As I have said before, Jill-E designs bag for mobile devices that are very Gucci-looking. This one has all-leather construction, and has some interior protection for a 12-inch … [Read more...] about Laptop Career Bag from Jill-E Designs

This is the Epiphany onE Puck, and it is able to take two things we do in the morning and combine them well. If you are like me, then you need to charge your phone in the morning. If you are not like me, you have a hot cup of coffee in the morning. Imagine if you had a charger that is like a coaster, and when you put your cup of coffee on it, and the very heat of it will … [Read more...] about Epiphany onE Puck charges a phone while you drink

I think that we all know that the tablet market is huge, but it doesn't look like Apple planned on accessories for them. Especially when it comes to carrying them around. The Jack Metro Tablet Bag is made to hold the tablet, and it will accommodate a ten-inch tablet computer, iPad, e-reader, or other device. I tried it out with a Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Tab 2 and it was … [Read more...] about Jack Metro Tablet Bag from Jill-E Designs

While I was at CES, I saw a company named Huckleberry that I believe you should keep an eye on. Huckleberry makes covers for the iPhone 4/4S, iPhone 5, and plan on making some for the iPod Touch, iPad, and iPad mini as well. Of course, there are a lot of companies that do that, so what makes Huckleberry different? Well, Huckleberry makes Chara-Covers, which are covers … [Read more...] about Huckleberry presents Chara-Covers

Yes, I have been reviewing a lot of Bluetooth speakers lately, but most of them are designed for indoor use. I'm not certain whether Nixon's The Blaster Bluetooth Speaker is made for outdoor use, but it looks like it could take it. The Blaster has a lightweight weather and shock resistant body, and is "a true reflection of seeing our ‘team-designed, custom-built’ focus at … [Read more...] about Nixon Blast Speaker is durable and long-lasting
