I've mentioned before that there was some recent holographic musicians like Michael Jackson put in holographic form. It wasn't the first time, as Tupac Shakur was once on stage as a hologram at Coachella 2012, and I am not the first time that was done. The issue is now Hologram USA wants to give comedians the holographic treatment. The purpose is to make this an … [Read more...] about Holographic comedians are coming! Man, I hope not.

Somebody’s Prayers are Answered as Playboy will no longer have Nudes
I don't think I have ever talked about anything pornographic here on this site, even though some of the films that I reviewed on Speculative Fiction Friday contain some sex scenes and possible nudity. Personally, I believe that there might be a place for pornography, but it should not be with those who are lonely for real love and embracing the fake. All right, I'm … [Read more...] about Somebody’s Prayers are Answered as Playboy will no longer have Nudes
Red Moon and Water on the Red Planet
It really was a big weekend for astronomy. Not only did that big supermoon lunar eclipse happen, but there is confirmation of water on Mars. So what? Well, if we ever have to go there, then we don't have to worry about bringing a big waterbottle with us. Yeah, we are nowhere near that point, at least so we don't need to journey to Mars out of necessity. Apparently, … [Read more...] about Red Moon and Water on the Red Planet
The Backwards Brain Bicycle and how the human mind works
This is one of those times where I just couldn't think of what to post today, as I just could find anything tech to write about, honestly. At least, not from my usual sources. I went to church the other day and discovered this video that I thought was just very interesting. It is about a guy who had to learn to ride a backwards bike. Essentially, the bike would go left … [Read more...] about The Backwards Brain Bicycle and how the human mind works
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.

This is a time that I am sad to report that John Nash and his wife Alicia, died in a car crash in New Jersey on Saturday. Apparently, the two were in a tax that lost control and hit another car. If you have never heard of John Nash, he was a brilliant mathematician, and the only reason why I know him was because he was the subject of a film called A Beautiful Mind, which … [Read more...] about John Nash, inspiration for “A Beautiful Mind” dies in car crash with his wife
People actually spent 520 days inside to test going to Mars
Considering that I have written about people who are trapped within an enclosed space, I felt a need to report on these six test subjects who were locked in a module in Moscow for 520 days to test the effects of isolation on small group dynamics and individual psychology. These people were selected from Russia, China, and Europe and they had to pretend that they were on … [Read more...] about People actually spent 520 days inside to test going to Mars
Nintendo working on a Theme Park with Universal Studios
In case you don't know, Nintendo is very picky about how much it lends out its intellectual property. Yes, the eighties had the Nintendo cereal system, but you might notice that there was not a Legend of Zelda movie after Super Mario Brothers was released. I have to admire Nintendo for that, but the company has inked an deal with Universal studios to have a theme park … [Read more...] about Nintendo working on a Theme Park with Universal Studios

What color is the dress? Is the cat up or down? Why does the Internet obsess over stuff like this?
No doubt you heard of that photo captioned "what color is the dress", which made its way all around social networks. In all honesty, I can't remember if that was so...last month or so...last week, but it leads me to wonder why certain things get so much attention. The one that happened this week was from 9Gag.com, and it shows a cat who is going up stairs. Or is that cat … [Read more...] about What color is the dress? Is the cat up or down?

Uber Safe posts could start a new trend
I have to admit that I have no experience using Uber or Lyft, other than they are reducing San Francisco's cab traffic by 65 percent. Still, I liked seeing this development with Uber Safe.

So far, Uber is … [Read more...] about Uber Safe posts could start a new trend
Robin Williams was smart not to exploit his image
I've been feeling a little sad about Robin Williams lately, I think after seeing The Angriest Man in Brooklyn on Netflix. I just wish that he was still alive because I simply hate suicide, and his will was just read. Thanks to Robin Williams Trust, Williams bequeathed rights to his name, signature, photograph and likeness to the Windfall Foundation, a charitable … [Read more...] about Robin Williams was smart not to exploit his image
“Village Idiots” spark selfie outrage
Some of you might remember when we reported on that girl in a bikini who was taking a selfie, and I didn't just report that because I thought some bikini girl would get more hits. Today, there is another issue with selfie that I would like to write about. This one took place in New York City after what looks like a gas explosion in the East Village destroyed three … [Read more...] about “Village Idiots” spark selfie outrage
Magic Leap could be real, and it is real awesome!
I have seen a lot of interesting interactive scenarios that allow video games to be played off of the screen. I don't know how else to describe this, but you can see some interesting examples of RoomAlive and IllumiRoom. This time, I want to talk about the Magic Leap. My Source reveals that they are not certain whether or not this is true. I have to admit that I doubt … [Read more...] about Magic Leap could be real, and it is real awesome!
