Okay, time for me to rant again on hoverboards and why we don't have them even though it is after 2015. I would say that I am disappointed that Back to the Future II lied to us, but doesn't every fictional film do that? Heck, some documentaries lie to us. Anyway, Franky Zapata, who invented a water-jet flyboard, a device that uses spraying water to keep the user in the … [Read more...] about Franky Zapata invents a Flyboard, and will the world ever be the same?

Speculative Fiction Saturday: A Scanner Darkly
As someone who is a fan of animation, I happened to cross this film and wondered why I hadn't seen it before. A Scanner Darkly is one of those films that is pretty obscure, but it is full of top billed Hollywood talent like Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Jr. (before Iron Man), Woody Harrelson, and Winona Ryder. As someone who believes that the best films are those that are … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: A Scanner Darkly

Mimoco MimoPower2 and Batman X Mimobot
It seems like I've been reviewing Mimoco products before, and I was pleased to review the MimoPowerTube 2. As far as the MimoPowerTube 2 is concerned, it is a mobile battery. Okay, the only thing to say is that this one has 2600 mAh. Oh, and it comes with a microUSB and Lightning cable, and a carrying case. This one has Kylo Ren, so...(insert Star Wars pun here). It … [Read more...] about Mimoco MimoPower2 and Batman X Mimobot
Bloxitivity Game
Well, I have to admit that this Bloxitivity Game is interesting, but I'm not certain how original it is. For some reason, I can't seem to place where I have played a game like this before, but I believe that I have played it, let me explain: Bloxitivity is a game where you have to move some cubes into certain places, but it is difficult to do that due to some obstacles. … [Read more...] about Bloxitivity Game
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Constantine
I have to say that most films that I have seen like Constantine are generally full of things that even the Bible doesn't believe in, but it almost looks like it should. Films with God and the Devil feel like they should be liked by Christians, but they are often the ones most boycotted. I personally think that Constantine has some incredibly good ideas, and it is a wild, … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Constantine
Ditto from Simple Matters makes Notifications a Simple Matter
You see that title, I realize how unprofessional this sounds, but I really like it. And honestly, I hope that it conveys how great a device Ditto from Simple Matters is. The Ditto is a small tiny...thing (yeah, I don't really know how to describe it) that is made for silent notifications. It doesn't give you a tone or anything, because it does vibration and stuff. So it … [Read more...] about Ditto from Simple Matters makes Notifications a Simple Matter

We went through a lot of travel to get here and we are definitely going to be hitting the showfloor, attending parties, and attempting to see the best on display as far as technology is concerned.

Should I be surprised? BlackBerry had this new Android phone known as The Priv. We all celebrated Back to the Future II Day back in October.

We also reviewed the STM Atlas Wallet Case for the same … [Read more...] about All the Gadgets that I reviewed in 2015!
Christmas goes too far at Boston Dynamics?
Okay, I'm not certain when Christmas decorating goes out of control. Personally, I think technology can really do a number with some Christmas lights, as you've probably seen that cool house that is decorated to flash to "Wizards In Winter". I have reported about Boston Dynamics before, and they are famous for making the four legged Wildcat robot. Think of them as … [Read more...] about Christmas goes too far at Boston Dynamics?
Native Union Part 3: Gripster Wrap for the iPad Air 2
Today, I am completing the Native Union trilogy with the Gripster Wrap for the iPad Air 2. There is a lot of to say about this stand/case/wrap/grip for the iPad Air 2. Yes, there are a lot of interesting features on the Gripster, and one of them is the grip. It is this elastic strap where two fingers can be placed and the iPad can be held very steady. Around this strap … [Read more...] about Native Union Part 3: Gripster Wrap for the iPad Air 2
Speculative Fiction Saturday: The CBS Supergirl Show
When I first heard that they were making a Supergirl series, my first thought was "why". Supergirl is one of those characters that has been reworked many times over the years, but this isn't uncommon among superheroes. However, Superman, Batman, and Spider-man have very consistent origin stories, but Supergirl has changed a number of times. It is interesting to see that … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: The CBS Supergirl Show
A Review of the iblazr
Needing an extra light when you are taking a selfie with your front facing phone camera? Is your tablet missing a flash? The iblazr can help with that! When testing it out on my Samsung Galaxy S4, I had some problems getting the free iblazr companion app to work. The answer given to the similar reviews in Google Play was to download the Shotlight app(also free). … [Read more...] about A Review of the iblazr
#IStandWithAhmad and the boy who build a clock, and everyone thought it was a bomb
Sometimes I have to remind myself what decade that I live in. This story has been making its rounds, and I can't believe that this story happened any time one month after 9/11. If you haven't heard the story, a 14-year-old boy named Ahmed Mohamed arrived at school with a digital clock that he built from scratch. He was very proud of it, and it was probably a job with a … [Read more...] about #IStandWithAhmad and the boy who build a clock, and everyone thought it was a bomb
