Several of you know that my site recently has had technical problems, and this is the reason why I currently can't make a link to an article that is more than a few days old. I was able to look at my old works, and I believe one of my first articles was Why Christians are Afraid of Technology, which I can't seem to get back on the site. On that post, I was talking about … [Read more...] about Try not to worry about these biometric sensors directly on the skin
LG Optimus G Pro gets Eye Tracking before the Samsung Galaxy S IV
Today is the day that Samsung is unveiling the Samsung Galaxy S IV, and I have heard a rumor about it that I am just going to assume is true. I'll probably know in a few hours, but LG is also planning on having this feature on the Optimus G Pro. The feature in question is eye-tracking, and LG beat Samsung to the punch, a day early. I had heard that Samsung's eye-tracking … [Read more...] about LG Optimus G Pro gets Eye Tracking before the Samsung Galaxy S IV
Billboard in Lima gives fresh water
I remember back in the first Star Wars movie, where we find out that Luke Skywalker lived in a moisture farm? I have not idea if moisture farms are real, but his farm on Tatooine can somehow pull water out of the air. When I was a kid, I thought that was just creative science fiction, and maybe we didn't have that technology back in 1977. This particular billboard … [Read more...] about Billboard in Lima gives fresh water
Roli Seaboard takes synthesized music to the next level
I think most of us have one of those synthesizer keyboards in our home, and maybe we use it often, even if it is just for fun. The Roli Seaboard, that's right, Seaboard, is ready to take it to the next level. You know how most synthesizers need to have knobs turned and such just to produce interesting sound? The Seaboard has a rubberized surface so you essentially bend … [Read more...] about Roli Seaboard takes synthesized music to the next level
SPARK allows kids to play with Lego-type vehicles that they can ride
I don't know if you are familiar with Quirky.com, but they have a site where users vote on which inventions should come into the market. They have recently spotlighted a construction set known as SPARK, and it is a construction set like LEGO, but better. You see, SPARK is giant sized, so not only can kids create vehicles out of the construction kit, but they can ride … [Read more...] about SPARK allows kids to play with Lego-type vehicles that they can ride
Review of the Sprint Force
Man, it was difficult to title this review "Use the Sprint Force". I guess I don't realize how many non-Star Wars related jokes there are associated with the word "force". I had a chance to try out the Sprint Force, and I will have to say that it is now currently an entry-level phone. I remember when entry-level phones were clamshells that just had cameras, if you were … [Read more...] about Review of the Sprint Force
My Review of the Lumia 920 and Windows 8
I have been wanting to try out Nokia's Lumia 920 for a while, as I have been wanting to try out a Windows 8 phone. I suppose that I like all those Windows 8 ads with Gwen Stefani and Jessica Alba, and want to see how well it can work for me. Let me talk about the phone first. It has a 4.5 inch screen, and on the inside it has a Snapdragon S4 processor with dual-core 1.5 … [Read more...] about My Review of the Lumia 920 and Windows 8
SmartFitty Advanced Smartwatch
I can't help but wonder if we are heading into some era of the smartwatch, as there have been a lot of news from the big Apple about how they are developing a smartwatch of some kind. Right now, the smartwatch market isn't too big. I know that I recently reported on the Mio Alpha watch, which links to a phone via Bluetooth for fitness apps. The SmartFitty smartwatch is … [Read more...] about SmartFitty Advanced Smartwatch
We are experiencing some technical difficulties at The Geek Church!
In case you haven't noticed, you will notice that most of the articles after this one are old. We are talking 2009 old. In tech terms, that is like thirty years ago. Trust me, this is not on purpose, and I'm not going for some month-early April Fool's Joke. So what happened? Well, I had me a problem with some of my WordPress plug-ins. It has to do with all these cool … [Read more...] about We are experiencing some technical difficulties at The Geek Church!
Speculative Fiction Friday: Wreck It Ralph. Why doesn’t PIXAR do films like this anymore?
PIXAR was cool. I'm sure that you have noted my use of the word was. In my opinion, PIXAR doesn't have it anymore. For almost two decades, they made some of the most original animated films like Toy Story, A Bug's Life, The Incredibles, WALL-E, but they peaked with Up. Since then, they have had very successful sequels with Toy Story 3 and Cars 2, but nothing original. … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Friday: Wreck It Ralph.

Tailly robotic tail extension
Some of you might recall when I reviewed the Necomimi cat ears, the cute ears that react to your mental state. The designer of this ears, Shota Ishiwatari, has created the Tailly, the next logical step. After all, the cat lady is a staple in cosplay and anime, so why not create a tail that can measure their heart rate and then wag when happy? Yes, I always like seeing a … [Read more...] about Tailly robotic tail extension
Otterbox Armor Series for the iPhone 5
I think we all know that that Otterbox is the Number One most trusted in smartphone case protection. If you didn't know that, just read the banner on the packaging for the iPhone 5 version. Sure, I had a chance to look at the Armor Series for the iPhone 4, and I will have to admit that the one for the iPhone 5 has essentially the same features. It has those metal … [Read more...] about Otterbox Armor Series for the iPhone 5
Nokia Wireless Charging Pillow by Fatboy
I have seen a lot of wireless chargers before, and they usually follow the model of the Powermat or the BuQu Magnetyze. You know, you lay down your mobile device on it, and it charges thanks to Qi compliance. If you aren't familiar with Qi compliance, it is precisely what I described above, and Nokia's Wireless Charging Pillow by Fatboy has that too. The thing that makes … [Read more...] about Nokia Wireless Charging Pillow by Fatboy
The Bat, a new levitating mouse
As far as I know, there were no special effects used in this photo of the Bat. Yes, this mouse is called the Bat, which is the best name you can give to a flying mouse, right? So why in the world would one create a hovering or levitating mouse? It has nothing to do with interacting with 3-D graphics, but I personally think that is a good idea. The Bat, by Kibardin … [Read more...] about The Bat, a new levitating mouse
Organic Transit unveils the ELF solar/pedal hybrid vehicle
What you are seeing here is the ELF. I am not certain what that stands for, but it is a very interesting innovative solar/pedal hybrid vehicle. The ELF has solar panels on the rooftop, and you can also charge the battery by plugging it into the wall. Not only can you pedal it around, but there is enough room in the back for groceries or other things that you want to … [Read more...] about Organic Transit unveils the ELF solar/pedal hybrid vehicle
