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 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!

Unlike last time, when we reviewed Samsung-related accessories, we are going to cover what Speck has for Apple with Speck Presidio ULTRA for the iPhone X I have to be honest when I say that I am surprised that the Presidio Ultra is not one of those waterproof cases.

UAG (Urban Armor Gear) Plasma Cases for the Google Pixel 2 and XL 2
By now, I have become pretty familiar with Urban Armor Gear (UAG) and their line of cases. I was very pleased to try out the Plasma case for Google's line of smartphones with the Pixel 2 and XL 2.

I always like when I get the chance to review some IK Multimedia products, and when it came time to review a keyboard from them, I jumped at the chance.

You can see the … [Read more...] about The iRig Keys I/O 25 by IK Multimedia
Lander’s Moab Case gives the iPhone protection from the cold
It's been about two years since my last review of a Lander case, and I believe that they are owned by BGZ Brands, the same guys that do Bodyguardz. The Moab case from Lander came in Bodyguardz packaging, and this is a case that is designed to protect against the cold. I had to admit, I have been using my phone in the cold and felt that touchscreen was like the bottom of … [Read more...] about Lander’s Moab Case gives the iPhone protection from the cold
Bedol Squirt Water Clock
I'm not certain why I am reviewing the Bedol Squirt Water Clock, as I don't think there even is a market for alarm clocks anymore. Seriously, doesn't everyone just have an alarm on their smartphone? Still, I like the idea of creating an alarm clock that doesn't run on batteries or electricity. Using its technology, it can convert water into clean energy power. If you are … [Read more...] about Bedol Squirt Water Clock
