I have to admit, when I received the Cubelets to review, I couldn't help but compare it to the Makerblock Neuron Inventor Kit that I just reviewed. Is it coming to the point where I'm reviewing a STEM product every week? If so, I'm cool with it. So, let's talk Cubelets. I don't think I could have done this review if it wasn't for my son, because he was really into them. … [Read more...] about A Review of Cublets Robot Blocks Twelve Kit from Modular Robotics
BewellConnect MyThermo
So, let's talk about thermometers. As someone who grew up in the 70s, I remember those mercury ones that you had to uncomfortably stick under your tongue. Remember how you had to shake them to reset them, and they were really fricking hard to read? There was like this silver thread that...how in the world did they ever figure out that this is we detect sickness? I bring … [Read more...] about BewellConnect MyThermo
Hands on with the OOMI Starter Kit
One of the many things that I was able to witness at CES was how it seems that everyone wants a "connected home". It is very apparent that certain homes that are being built in the present are being prepared for the future, so that all of the electronics can be taken control via smartphone/tablet. I can't remember at what CES I saw this at, but OOMI was there. This was … [Read more...] about Hands on with the OOMI Starter Kit
Chilipad Cube for the Queen Size Bed
I have been wanting to review the Chilipad for a long time now, as it was a device that I saw at CES 2018. Generally, I don't get a chance to review anything like this, so I'll try and just summarize it, in case the picture doesn't make it obvious. If you share a bed with someone, then you might have an issue with one feeling too hot, while the other feels too cold. In … [Read more...] about Chilipad Cube for the Queen Size Bed
Our Review of the Makeblock Neuron Inventor Kit
We have had the opportunity to review a lot of great products related to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) technology before, and the Makeblock Neuron Inventor Kit is up there with stuff from UBTECH as well as LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3. Those are some plugs for my books, by the way, but I wish I had more time to write about the Makeblock Neuron Inventor Kit. … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Makeblock Neuron Inventor Kit
Simplehuman 8-inch Round Sensor Mirror
I'm going to have to say that I believe that Simplehuman is one of those companies that really can make a home a home. You know how some people have IKEA furniture all over their place, and it makes their home a little less classy as a result? If there was a house with Simplehuman products all over, I believe it would make a home more classy. After all, I think we all … [Read more...] about Simplehuman 8-inch Round Sensor Mirror
Our Review of Quantum Storey’s Operation YOU: Morning Nightmare, the “World’s First VR Book Series”
Okay, if you have been to Wal-Mart's book section, you might notice this particular book/package. This would be a book/VR program from publisher Quantum Storey known as Operation YOU: Morning Nightmare. It is apparently the first VR (Virtual Reality, but you probably already knew that) book series, and it is only available from Wal-Mart. I'm going to say that their … [Read more...] about Our Review of Quantum Storey’s Operation YOU: Morning Nightmare, the “World’s First VR Book Series”
D-Link Covr AC3900 Whole Home Wi-Fi System
It has been about two years since I reviewed D-Link's AC3150, and I found it to be quite a router for my home. I first saw it at a CES, and I think the four antennae really just attracted me to it. I'm just going to assume that those four antennae help the coverage. As you can see, the Covr AC3900 Whole Home Wi-Fi System has those four antennae, and I am guessing that … [Read more...] about D-Link Covr AC3900 Whole Home Wi-Fi System
Gamevice launches their Minecraft Edition Bundle for the iPhone
CES 2018 is always a good place to discover new gadgets, and I was pleased to find a company known as Gamevice who makes some controllers for games. I have actually reviewed devices like this before, such as the Stratus XL Controller from SteelSeries. I am looking forward to reviewing their products personally, but I wanted to say that the company is making a special … [Read more...] about Gamevice launches their Minecraft Edition Bundle for the iPhone
Lessons Learned from CES 2018
Well, I have returned from Las Vegas once again after experiencing the wonders that is CES. This shot here is from LG, and I forget what they called this, but it is a canyon of displays of some type. I have discussed a few things about CES, but they are really summaries at best. The thing about CES is that there are so many things to talk about, it is actually unfair for … [Read more...] about Lessons Learned from CES 2018
CES 2018 with ShowStoppers
For those of you who are not in the know, CES covers many places in Las Vegas including the Las Vegas Convention Center, the Sands/Venetian Convention Center Areas, and much more. Not only that, there are after-parties to attend, such as the CES Unveiled that I covered two days ago. Among the most famous of these after parties is Showstoppers, and this one usually requires … [Read more...] about CES 2018 with ShowStoppers
CES 2018 with China Tech First Look
There is more that goes on at CES than what is shown on the floor. There are after-parties, not to mention the before-parties. I was fortunate enough to attend CES Unveiled 2018, and I was just as pleased to attend China Tech First Look the next day. I always look forward to seeing new technology, particularly ones that I have never encountered before. I was not … [Read more...] about CES 2018 with China Tech First Look
First Day at CES 2018, after CES Unveiled
Yesterday was quite a tough day for me. After getting a flight at 6:00 AM and landing in Las Vegas by noon, there was a lot of moving around with "hurry up and wait". As you can see from this great shot taken from Mandalay Bay, we are in Las Vegas now. (Thanks to Dan Feinberg for the use of this shot.) Technically, CES 2018 does not start until tomorrow, but if … [Read more...] about First Day at CES 2018, after CES Unveiled
We’re Going to Las Vegas for CES 2018!
Well, I have been taking a few weeks off after recovering from the holidays and all the stuff that I have been reviewing before that time. There are some other reasons why I have been off, but I don't want to get into that at this time. The thing is that last year was tough, as I had to skip CES 2017. If you are not familiar with CES, it is the Consumer Electronics Show … [Read more...] about We’re Going to Las Vegas for CES 2018!
