Okay, as many of you know, I write books as well as this blog, and it is exciting when you write about something and see it come to life. In case you are unfamiliar with my book The Labyrinth House, it is about a man who is trapped in a house, and he cannot leave. The only way out is to solve a series of puzzles. As you can guess, this book was probably inspired by video … [Read more...] about Escape Rooms are a real life Labyrinth House

NASA’s Dawn orbits a dwarf planet
This is quite an interesting age with live in. It might not be the Space Age, but we have a spacecraft known as Dawn that has orbited a dwarf planet Ceres. Ceres is the largest object on an asteroid belt in between Mars and Jupiter. Ceres is about 590 miles in diameter, and the Dawn spacecraft orbited it at 38,000 miles out. By the way, Dawn was launched in 2007, and … [Read more...] about NASA’s Dawn orbits a dwarf planet
I can’t stand this stupid Target ad!
Okay, I watch a lot of videos, and I keep seeing the same ads over and over. Target has these ads for their mobile programs that are just annoying, and this one just doesn't make any sense at all. I'm just going to pretend that you took the fourteen seconds to watch it. You would not believe how long it took me to find it on YouTube. I tried "Target ad and variations of … [Read more...] about I can’t stand this stupid Target ad!
DisneyWorld Accepting Mobile Payments
We have reported on Apple Pay, and I think it is probable that we are headed for a mobile payment era. I haven't really heard much about it, other than the fact it is taking place. Well, I suppose that if anyone is going to help a new fad become completely mainstream, it is Disney. Man, that sentence ended up being more of a slam than I really wanted it to be. Of … [Read more...] about DisneyWorld Accepting Mobile Payments
The Saga of “The Interview”
Okay, I've been covering this story for a while on The Gospel Herald, but here is the story behind "The Interview". 1) The Interview is a film made by Sony Pictures with Seth Rogen and James Franco about two fake journalists that are on a secret mission to kill the North Korean Dictator Kim Jong-un. 2) Sony Entertainment was hacked. Just like The Fappening and the … [Read more...] about The Saga of “The Interview”
The K-Board from Keith McMillen Instruments
It has been a while since I have reviewed anything from Keith McMillen Instruments. I had a lot of fun with the QuNeo and I was almost ready to quit writing and become a DJ. I got a chance to review the K-Board, it is was very similar to the QuNexus that I reviewed before. The K-Board is like its name implies, a keyboard, but shorter. If you have a music-playing … [Read more...] about The K-Board from Keith McMillen Instruments
The Phorce Freedom: A Charging Bag
This bag that you see here is the Freedom bag from Phorce. I didn't misspell that, by the way, it is just how they spell the company is spelled. The Phorce is three bags in one, as it can work as a briefcase, messenger bag, or a backpack. As a backpack, it fits on the bag very, very well. Too bad it doesn't have handles like a travel bag, but it does slide over the … [Read more...] about The Phorce Freedom: A Charging Bag
McDonalds to have touchscreens for ordering
I found this article about how McDonalds could be offering touchscreen menus in their restaurants, and I could not help but wonder: why don't we have this technology now? Don't get me wrong, I go to McDonalds every week, and I have great respect for those who work behind the counter. These people really do work hard, but I'm not certain whether or not that the guy behind … [Read more...] about McDonalds to have touchscreens for ordering
New York City getting a floating park Pier 55
There is nothing more that I like to see than some artificial islands, which is probably going to have to be the way we get more land. It looks like New York City will have something new for Pier 55. This Pier 55 will be put in the Hudson river on the Lower West Side, which will rest on the top of the deteriorated Pier 54. This construction has over 300 pillars and … [Read more...] about New York City getting a floating park Pier 55
Last week, it was a comet that actually broke the Internet
I'm going to have to apologize to my readers. I saw a meme the other day which used a stock footage picture of Captain Picard saying that we shouldn't be focusing on a naked picture of Kim Kardashian when we have landed on a comet? In case you haven't heard, Philae has landed on a something on a comet and I am told it was a successful drilling attempt. While I'm not … [Read more...] about Last week, it was a comet that actually broke the Internet
My Trip to Jet City Comic Show 2014
Well, it was a big weekend for me as I traveled to the west side of Washington State, where Jet City Comic Show was happening at the Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center. I was there with Zharmae, the publisher that I writer for, one of them, at least. Yes, this is my book cover again. I know that I already wrote about it here. However, I did go to Jet City Comic … [Read more...] about My Trip to Jet City Comic Show 2014
Virgin Galactic’s Crash could set back the Space Tourism industry
Last Friday, Virgin Galactic experienced a terrible tragedy as SpaceShipTwo crashed in the Mojave desert. The accident resulted in the death of a pilot and another with major injuries. For those who don't know, Virgin Galactic has been promising space tourism for quite a while now. It is one of those technologies that always seems to promise an availability date, but it … [Read more...] about Virgin Galactic’s Crash could set back the Space Tourism industry
Lenovo purchases Motorola from Google
You know what's interesting about big companies? They can buy other companies. Today, Lenovo bought Motorola Mobility from Google, for a price of about $2.91 billion. It appears that Lenovo owns the Number 3 smartphone maker, and I believe they will own all the cool phones that are out now like the Moto X, as well as the Droid series. Just so you know, Motorola's HQ … [Read more...] about Lenovo purchases Motorola from Google
Hawk attacks Drone, and the drone goes down
I'm not certain if you watch Phineas and Ferb, and I won't bother explaining to you if you haven't. They did an episode called "Perry Lays an Egg", and a song that they sing says: "Technology lost, Mother Nature Won". I can't help but think that when I hear about how a hawk took out a drone. The video was shot by Christopher Schmidt, who was just testing out his flying … [Read more...] about Hawk attacks Drone, and the drone goes down
The Plastic Card: One credit/debit card to rule them all
I can't believe that my Sources didn't use The Lord of the Rings metaphor, but it seems pretty obvious. The Plastic is a device that I think solves an obvious problem: wallets are made too thick by credit and debit cards, and it just makes sense to put them in one place. Not only is the Plastic good for credit and debit cards, but it can also store funds for certificates … [Read more...] about The Plastic Card: One credit/debit card to rule them all
