I realize that this month I have been reporting on films that are deliberately so bad that they are good, and this is a deliberate attempt. The issue with The Faculty is that its premise is so far-fetched that it should have failed, but it just didn't. Part of the reason why this film works is that it is in the hands of Robert Rodriguez. If you aren't familiar with this … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday, So Bad, It’s Good Month: The Faculty
The Automatic App and Adapter
It really isn't very common that you see some kind Automotive accessory tech that does so much, the the Automatic App plus Adapter is that. As you might have guessed from the image here, this Automatic adapter plugs right into that standard diagnostic port that is in most cars since after 1996. I don't know the name of it, but I've had to access it before. Then there is … [Read more...] about The Automatic App and Adapter
Matias iFold Portable Stand and Cooling Pad
I was pretty pleased to review another Matias product, and instead of another keyboard like the Ergo Pro Keyboard, this is a laptop accessory known as the iFold. As you can see in the first illustration, the iFold is a way of putting your laptop so it is at eye level. After trying it out, it is handy to have, but you will need to use another keyboard like that … [Read more...] about Matias iFold Portable Stand and Cooling Pad
PhoneSuit JOURNEY All-in-One Charger
Today, we're doing another PhoneSuit review with the JOURNEY. I really want to start singing the opening lines from "Don't Stop Believing". The JOURNEY is just a mobile charger that feels like the HubPlus from myCharge. In fact, it has both the Lightning Cable and a Micro-USB cable, and it has an AC wall charger as well. Seriously, it is pretty much the same thing, but … [Read more...] about PhoneSuit JOURNEY All-in-One Charger
Caseco Blu-Toque, Sono Earbuds, and Testa Shock-Proof Folio Case
So, I have had a chance to try out three Caseco products, and I have to admit that they are innovative, for lots of stuff that could have just come off as a cheap imitation. I'll start with the Blu-Toque Bluetooth Beanie. I'm not certain who decided that it would be a good idea to put Bluetooth in a Beanie, but I have to admit that it is a good idea if you are in cold … [Read more...] about Caseco Blu-Toque, Sono Earbuds, and Testa Shock-Proof Folio Case
PhoneSuit Elite 6 PRO Battery Case for the iPhone 6/6S
It has been a while since I reviewed a PhoneSuit product, and one of things that I reviewed was the PhoneSuit Elite Battery case for the iPhone 5. This time, I am reviewing the PhoneSuit Elite 6 PRO Battery Case Series, the next step up. This is one of those battery cases, which we are not a stranger to, and chance are, you are not either. Not only is it a case that … [Read more...] about PhoneSuit Elite 6 PRO Battery Case for the iPhone 6/6S
iHome Part 3: iB37 Glowtunes Color Changing Headphones
Well, today is the last iHome product that we will be reviewing today. It is quite similar to the color-changing speaker that I reviewed yesterday. I guess people just want that color-changing action. In fact, I believe that when I spoke to one of the representatives at iHome, and he stated that "the user won't see the color change, but it is apparently the style". … [Read more...] about iHome Part 3: iB37 Glowtunes Color Changing Headphones
Hideaway Case for the iPad Pro from Gumdrop Cases
It has been a while since I reviewed a product from Gumdrop, and I was pleased that I have had a chance to review the Hideaway Case for the iPad Pro. I'll start by saying that the Hideway case really spotlights how big the iPad Pro is with its 12.9 inch screen, making the Case look like a digital picture frame or a small TV set when propped up. Yes, it is propped up, … [Read more...] about Hideaway Case for the iPad Pro from Gumdrop Cases
iHome Part 2: The iBT74 Wireless Color Changing Speaker
Well, today's iHome product isn't like any that I haven't seen before, but it is quite great. The iBT74 color changing rechargeable Bluetooth speaker is a gem of a product, and you can quote me on that. Why would I say something like that? Well, it does kind of look like a gem, you know, a well-polished one. So, there are some really cool color effects that can do this … [Read more...] about iHome Part 2: The iBT74 Wireless Color Changing Speaker
Brydge 9.7 Keyboard for the iPad Air and iPad Air 2
I realize that what you are looking at in the image looks to be an overhead view of a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. However, if you look closer, this is an iPad on a Brydge 9.7 keyboard. Yes, this is a Brydge, and it is spelled as incorrectly as a super-hero of the nineties. When I saw this product on display at CES with an iPad in it, I thought I was looking at a small … [Read more...] about Brydge 9.7 Keyboard for the iPad Air and iPad Air 2
iHome Part 1: The SmartPlug iSP5
We managed to get a hole of three particular iHome products this week, and we are going to be looking at them one at a time. We'll start first with the iHome Control SmartPlug, or iSP5. I will start by saying that yes, this is a product that is already being made from several competitors, as having a connected home is kind of the thing to do these days. In particular is … [Read more...] about iHome Part 1: The SmartPlug iSP5
Speculative Fiction Saturday, So Bad It’s Good Month: Turbo Kid
Well, we are now reviewing a film called Turbo Kid, and with that title like that, you know it can't be good, but is it so bad that it is good? The answer is yes. Granted, it isn't the best "so bad it's good" movie that I've ever seen, but here's the strangest thing: if this film were released in the eighties, it would have been taken seriously. The premise is about how … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday, So Bad It’s Good Month: Turbo Kid
STM Haven Laptop Backpack
There is nothing like a good STM products, and they make a lot of them. It has been a few weeks since I received the Atlas Wallet case before the iPhone 6/6S and iPhone 6/6S Plus. Now we will be doing the Haven Laptop Backpack. So I have reviewed a lot of laptop backpacks on this site. In this case, the main pocket can probably both hold a tablet and a 15 inch laptop. … [Read more...] about STM Haven Laptop Backpack
Mimoco MimoPower2 and Batman X Mimobot
It seems like I've been reviewing Mimoco products before, and I was pleased to review the MimoPowerTube 2. As far as the MimoPowerTube 2 is concerned, it is a mobile battery. Okay, the only thing to say is that this one has 2600 mAh. Oh, and it comes with a microUSB and Lightning cable, and a carrying case. This one has Kylo Ren, so...(insert Star Wars pun here). It … [Read more...] about Mimoco MimoPower2 and Batman X Mimobot
Our Review of the Boogie Board Play n’ Trace
Well, I mentioned in my review of the Wacom Bamboo Spark how it is really necessary for us to really just draw things out, and sometimes the digital easel actually makes this more difficult. I once talked about the Boogie Board Play n Trace at its initial release, but it is that for kids, but less technical. This is from Boogie Board, the same company that made the Sync … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Boogie Board Play n’ Trace
