Man, I don't know what it is with my headlines these days. However, if you are like me, then you have become accustomed to using some serious shortcuts. I don't know where I would be without the Ctrl C and V. So why not have a keyboard that is all shortcuts. This Shortcut-S Keyboard is a Kickstarter project, and it is definitely made for those who are into Photoshop or … [Read more...] about A keyboard of shortcuts with the Shortcut-S keyboard
Crowdfunded projects
HiddenRadio2 Bluetooth MultiSpeaker
I suppose that today must be "crowdfunded Bluetooth speaker day", because I just finished with CoverPlay Audio's Mojo. Now, let's talk about the HiddenRadio2 Bluetooth MultiSpeaker, another Kickstarter project with Bluetooth and speaker power. This speaker, shaped like a half a pill, is made to reveal itself as a speaker with a touch of a button on top. All of the … [Read more...] about HiddenRadio2 Bluetooth MultiSpeaker
CoverPlay Audio’s Bluetooth Speaker, the Mojo, is the world’s thinnest
I've reviewed a lot of Bluetooth Speakers here, and I'm always looking for something unique. I suppose the most unique would be the world's thinnest from ClearPlay Audio, the Mojo. Generally, the Mojo implies something big or cool, and will admit that the Mojo's coolness makes up for its implied size. I said before it is the world's thinnest, and it is about 7 mmm. … [Read more...] about CoverPlay Audio’s Bluetooth Speaker, the Mojo, is the world’s thinnest
Grippity Android tablet allows double-sided control
Grippity Doo-Dah, Grippity Ay! My oh my, what a way to input your...okay, this intro isn't working. However, I like the Grippity, which is an Android tablet which stands out from all the other Android tablets out there. Considering all the other Android tablets out there, that is saying a lot. You see, the Grippity has double control thanks to a back control. The … [Read more...] about Grippity Android tablet allows double-sided control
Up comes alive with No More Woof
Okay, lately the Disney channel has been showing Up, and I highly recommend watching this surreal flick if you haven't seen it yet. The film has just enough unbelievability, but not so much that it alienates the viewer. I know that the main character's house could probably not be held aloft by that number of balloons, but I'm willing to pardon that. What I enjoy is when the … [Read more...] about Up comes alive with No More Woof
Drumpants allow you play drums anywhere
I have a daughter who loves to do that whole hambone thing where she just slaps her legs to get a tune. I'm sure that she isn't the only one, so this is why I am glad there is the Drumpants. The Drumpants are Bluetooth-enabled pair of sensor strips that give the user the ability to use 100 different musical sounds. All that is required is to slap the strip in the right … [Read more...] about Drumpants allow you play drums anywhere
Paper airplanes get a smartphone treatment with PowerUp 3.0
I don't know about you, but I always liked paper airplanes. I got pretty bored with them, because as good as a paper airplane is, it will never be like a real airplane. Now here comes the PowerUp 3.0. It has a device with a Smart Module, which has a small propeller and rudder that you can put on your plane for some extra oomph in your flight. Now I don't know whether or … [Read more...] about Paper airplanes get a smartphone treatment with PowerUp 3.0

This one has so much potential to change everything as far as gaming and entertainment concerned, and I can't wait to try it. This is the castAR, a Head-Mounted display that can bring you 3-D augmented reality right on your eyes. All you need is two micro-projectors that can stay on the … [Read more...] about castAR Head-Mounted Display
A.I. Smartwatch could change the Smartphone market
I have been seeing a lot of talk of smartwatches, and I'm still not convinced that I need one. I think Samsung has some sort of plan, but it is nothing compared to the A.I. Watch. Most smartwatches are just something to pair with a smartphone via Bluetooth, but what makes the A.I. smartwatch different is it can be a standalone Android phone. Yeah, a phone on our watch! … [Read more...] about A.I. Smartwatch could change the Smartphone market
Occipital’s Structure Sensor gives your iPad 3D seeing power
As I mentioned the other day in my report of the Zeus, the 3D printer/scanner, it is clear that we are entering into an age of 3D printing. This particular Occipital Structure Sensor, also a Kickstarter project, is designed to bring the 3D world to the 2D iPad screen. The Structure Sensor is designed to clip right onto the iPad itself. From there, you can scan a room in … [Read more...] about Occipital’s Structure Sensor gives your iPad 3D seeing power
Zeus 3D Scanner and Printer
I think we all know that the age of 3-D printing is coming, but we all know that 3-D printing means nothing without some 3-D inspiration. I was thinking that we need some 3-D downloadable programs. That, or you could get yourself a 3D scanner. I don't really know if there is any companies that make 3D scanners, but there is a combination 3-D printer and scanner known as … [Read more...] about Zeus 3D Scanner and Printer
Hammmerhead Bike Navigator from Dragon Innovation
I always like some new technology for bikers, and as someone who once used to travel a lot by bike, I like the Hammerhead. Imagine a GPS designed specifically for a bike, but without all the headaches. All you really need is this Hammerhead that will point the way for you to go. You can find safe bike paths thanks to the convenient iPhone or Android app, and you can even … [Read more...] about Hammmerhead Bike Navigator from Dragon Innovation
Add a Flash to your smartphone with iblazr
You know how the iPhone has been avoiding Flash all those years? This includes a decent one for the camera. I suppose that you could purchase a Manfrotto KLYP that we discussed a few weeks ago, or the iblazr. The iblazr is a simple flash with four specially-made LEDs. From what I can tell, it plugs right into the headphone jack. You will want to use the App to get the … [Read more...] about Add a Flash to your smartphone with iblazr
iSketchnote gives the digital pen another try
In all my years of reporting on gadget reporting, there is one thing that I have seen over and over again, and that is the digital pen. I am not talking about one of those styluses for your iPad, but a way of turning what you write or draw on a piece of paper into something digital, no scanner required. Generally, these types of pens are really awkward to work with, and … [Read more...] about iSketchnote gives the digital pen another try
Pressy for Android Phones
So, anyone want to know what a Pressy is, and what it can do for Android phones? Well, it has been a while since I covered a good crowdfunded project, and this one caught my eye for some reason or another. First of all, I didn't know that the headphone jack on my phone was capable of doing more than just plugging audio in for output. This Pressy is a button that you can … [Read more...] about Pressy for Android Phones
