"This is a card game for people who are into kittens and explosions and laser beams and sometimes goats." So says the Kickstarter page for Exploding Kittens- a game illustrated by the famous internet cartoonist, Matthew Inman(The Oatmeal). Here's a video to explain the game better than I can: This Kickstarter project set records meeting their goal of $10,000 in 20 … [Read more...] about Exploding Kittens- The Most Backed Kickstarter Project of all Time

Plan V can use a 9 Volt Battery to charge your phone
You know what is funny? Power used to be synonymous with batteries, but I'm guessing that the battery business went down since smartphones came about. After all, with an app for that, all you need is to charge your phone. Hence the rise of the mobile battery business. I'm going to discuss a new type of mobile battery later this week, but for now, I'm going to discuss the … [Read more...] about Plan V can use a 9 Volt Battery to charge your phone
The Pachamas Augmented Reality Pajamas
It has been a while since I have talked about Augmented Reality. If you aren't familiar with it, it is a way to viewing something on your phone or tablet with a special code. Imagine if you have that on your pajamas. Think of it, you actually have something that turn the characters on your soft and warm clothes into something living? Yeah, that is the vision of … [Read more...] about The Pachamas Augmented Reality Pajamas
Dexmo Exoskeleton allows the user to “touch” VR items
In case you are wondering what you are seeing here is not some device that you hook up to your hand and forces you to type. I'm not looking forward to the dystopian world where that exists, but I'm not certain whether or not a work with the Dexmo Exoskeleton by Dexta Technologies will be a perfect utopia. The Dexmo Exoskeleton is designed to track the position of your … [Read more...] about Dexmo Exoskeleton allows the user to “touch” VR items
Hooke, Hooke, give us the 3D sound of the Hooke!
Okay, I know that there has been a craze for 3D vision, and perhaps you as wondering what is 3D audio? Well, if you had the Hooke, then you would know. The Hooke is a pair of Bluetooth wireless headphones that have a microphone in each earbud, also known as Binaural recording. This allows the user to record off their camera and hear the sound all around him/her. Then … [Read more...] about Hooke, Hooke, give us the 3D sound of the Hooke!
Hendo Hoverboard: It looks true
A while ago there was a video of a hoverboard, and it looked exactly like the one we have been craving for since Back to the Future II. You can see the video here, and I remember thinking it odd that someone would make a video like that and get Tony Hawk and Christopher Lloyd (Doc Brown himself). It would appear that some company known as Hendo has created an actual … [Read more...] about Hendo Hoverboard: It looks true
Keecker, the “World’s First HomePod” is more R2D2
If you are wondering what a HomePod is, then I would have to say that you are not alone. Pierre Lebeau is a man who didn't like "another rectangle", but a very interesting computer that goes with you. This is the Keecker which works as a projector, sound system, webcam, not to mention a home monitoring system. Lebeau's design was something more "warmer, organic, and … [Read more...] about Keecker, the “World’s First HomePod” is more R2D2
Reassembly, a video game where you build spaceships
As I mentioned in my last review of Drew and the Floating Labyrinth is PAX month, and so I will report about games that perhaps you have not heard about. The game Reassembly from Indie Voyage is one of them. Reassembly is a game that is a mix of old-school and "current school" gaming. You know how Minecraft allows its users to build a world with 1 x 1 blocks? In … [Read more...] about Reassembly, a video game where you build spaceships
Meet Clockety, the World’s First Smartphone Projection Clock
The image that you see here isn't really a good representation of what Clockety is about. I will attempt to explain what the World's First Smartphone Project Clock is. Imagine a device that you can put on your smartphone that will project the time on your ceiling. Why would you want that? Well, why should you have to turn on your phone every time you wake up and want to … [Read more...] about Meet Clockety, the World’s First Smartphone Projection Clock
Is Noke really the first Bluetooth padlock?
In case you missed it, I did phrase the title of this post in the form of a question. The reason why is because I was surprised that the FUZ Designs has created the Noke, which is apparently the first Bluetooth padlock. I have seen a lot of Bluetooth products that seem almost counter-intuitive to Bluetooth. I have seen door locks before, but I suppose a padlock is pretty … [Read more...] about Is Noke really the first Bluetooth padlock?
Kusky Glosync Headphones glow to the beat of your music
Last week, I reported on the SOUNDSIGHT Kickstarter project, a pair of headphones that doubled as a life-logging video camera. Today, I reporting on a pair of headphones that are also unusual, the Kusky GloSync. The Glosync is a pair of headphones that will glow while you are playing your music, and will even keep the beat. Just think of it as a way of giving your … [Read more...] about Kusky Glosync Headphones glow to the beat of your music
InkCase Plus for the Galaxy S5
Fresh from my review of that Moshi case for the GS 5 with a window comes a Kickstarter project that takes it way to the next level with the InkCase Plus. This concept is a way of putting a second screen on the Galaxy S5, and I applaud its method. It comes with a case, and within the case is a place for an E-Ink screen. Now, the E-Ink's display is in black and white, but … [Read more...] about InkCase Plus for the Galaxy S5
The Coolest Cooler is easily the coolest cooler
I realize that most of you are looking at this headline is kind of reflexive, and I will agree with you. However, my wife showed me this video of the Coolest, and I just knew that it had to be a Kickstarter project. We are all aware of these awesome coolers that keep our drinks cool in the summertime, but the basic technology has not changed since their basic creation. … [Read more...] about The Coolest Cooler is easily the coolest cooler
Rocketskates are a futurist’s dream come true
I always like when I see some new device that looks like it has been plucked from some speculative fiction. The Rocketskates look like something I would see if The Jetsons was a bit more realistic. The Rocketskates have a lot of good things going for them. First of all, they are motorized skates. They each have a 50W DC hub motor, an integrated microprocessor, and a … [Read more...] about Rocketskates are a futurist’s dream come true
New Robotech Show to get Crowdfunding
Generally, I try and avoid interjecting my own opinion into my blog postings. Today, I have something that I want to see get off of the ground. Someone is trying to revive Robotech. If you are not familiar with Robotech, it was an animated series from Japan that was imported to America around the mid-80's. It was actually a three-part story within its eighty-or-so … [Read more...] about New Robotech Show to get Crowdfunding
