Well, it would appear that the Impact Team has made good on their promise to bring the information from Ashley Madison's 37 million subscribers online. I'm not going to put where you can get this information, I am told that downloading it requires a special browser but you're smart enough to read this from a computer, so you can probably figure out how to do this yourself. … [Read more...] about Ashley Madison, My Response, Part Two
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Seeking a Friend at the End of the World
I don't know if we are at the point where we can label anything a comedy. I don't know when it was considered acceptable to do a film about the end of the world and call it a comedy, but there have been several films about "the end of the world as we know it" in this decade alone and they are played for laughs. It is quite possible that we got afraid of that whole 2012 Mayan … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Seeking a Friend at the End of the World
JFK Can Track Cellular Phones to Predict Wait Times
Most of us have been told that we should arrive at the airport a few hours early to catch our flights, because TSA lines take a while to go through. Personally, I never lost my patience, because I never wanted the TSA to take me out. New York's JFK Terminal 4, there is some new information in the form of some screens that show how long the wait time will be. The screens … [Read more...] about JFK Can Track Cellular Phones to Predict Wait Times
The Helmet from iFamCare
What you are seeing here is not necessarily a helmet, and I am not really certain why it is called that. I guess it kind of looks like one...anyway, the iFamCare is a good way of watching your connected home. The iFamCare Helmet has 360 degree coverage on the horizontal and 70 degrees of vertical. You can install the Wi-Fi to your home network and view anywhere on 3G, … [Read more...] about The Helmet from iFamCare
The speeC-EZ from iCreation
I recently had a chance to get to know a company called iCreation, and I would highly recommend checking out their products if you haven't already. They now have a Kickstarter project that is called the speeC-EZ. In case you are stumbling on the pronunciation, it is pronounced "Speakeasy". You know, those places during Prohibition that sold illegal alcoholic beverages. … [Read more...] about The speeC-EZ from iCreation
TYLT FLYP-DUO Reversible USB and Y-CHARGE [QUIK]
Yes, I've had the privilege of reviewing TYLT products before, and I was pleased to try out some new ones with the FLYP-DUO and the Y-CHARGE [QUIK]. I'll start with the FLYP-DUO, that is named for lots of flipping and duo-able action. I'll start by saying that it has both a micro-USB as well as a Lightning connector. This means that it is good for both Apple and Android … [Read more...] about TYLT FLYP-DUO Reversible USB and Y-CHARGE [QUIK]
Review of the addictive game “The Bridge” Game
Please don't let the monochromatic nature of these screenshots fool you, as The Bridge is one of the most advanced games that you will ever play. The issue isn't why it isn't in full color, but why no one has ever thought of a game like this before. The Bridge is inspired by the works of M.C. Escher, and if you haven't heard of him then you have probably seen some of his … [Read more...] about Review of the addictive game “The Bridge” Game
Wind-up Knight 2 comes to the Wii U
Normally, when I get a chance to try out video games, it is for Steam or the PS4, this time, I got to try it out for the Wii U, and I have to say that I was quite pleased with Robot Invader's Wind-up Knight 2 for Nintendo's Wii U. Unity Games recently brought Wind-up Knight 2 to the Wii U, and it was pretty popular on the Android and iOS, and it has an exorbitant amount of … [Read more...] about Wind-up Knight 2 comes to the Wii U
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Batman and Robin, and yes, it is a good movie
I realize that this film is known as being one of the worst ever made, but here is the deal: I actually think it is good. Maybe even pretty good. Sure, there are better Batman films made, and this was the problem with it. The reason why Batman and Robin was so bad might have something to do with the expectations of the audience. The 1989 Batman film was a huge success, … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Batman and Robin, and yes, it is a good movie
Hands on with the D-Link mydlink Wi-Fi Water Sensor
I believe that there is a term for "The Internet of Things" IOT, made to describe any device that is hooked to the Internet to do its job. In the case of D-Link mydlink Wi-Fi Water Sensor, it is a device that is connected to you Wi-Fi network to let you know if you have a water leak. If you have a water heater or pipes that could leak, wouldn't it be good to have … [Read more...] about Hands on with the D-Link mydlink Wi-Fi Water Sensor

It's been a while since I have reviewed a Patchworks product, and I am very pleased to do so again. Today, I got a chance to try out four products from them for two separate mobile devices: the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. I'll start with the ITG Level cases for both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

The CDR 825 (825E) Drive HD Dash Cam from Cobra Electronics
Considering that cameras are just about everywhere to keep us accountable and hopefully not to begin a Big Brother society. I figure that most people might want a car on their dashboard to record the road, because you might get in an accident and you could use the footage. This is what the CDR 825E from Cobra Electronics is made for. The CDR 825E has an extra wide 140 … [Read more...] about The CDR 825 (825E) Drive HD Dash Cam from Cobra Electronics
Audio-Technica AT-LP60-USB LP-to-Digital Recording System
I'll be honest when I say that the Audio-Technica AT-LP60-USB LP-to-digital recording system is definitely for a niche crowd. I think it is just plain odd that I got into cassettes back in the early eighties, and then when the nineties happened, I was doing CDs. I think that the rest of the world was with me on this, so those who still have vinyl albums will love the … [Read more...] about Audio-Technica AT-LP60-USB LP-to-Digital Recording System

The way it works is that you connect that dongle to your HDTV, and then you can stream content from a compatible device to the TV. This means that you can go watch anything on … [Read more...] about Actiontec ScreenBeam Mini2
