"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

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
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
Skirmos is a Laser Tag game that you can program
Some of you might remember the Laser Tag came from the 80's. If you don't, then I don't blame you, because there were many imitators. Essentially, you have a laser that shoots at a target, and you can score points shooting other people with these targets. You know, I did a terrible job explaining that, but if you haven't heard of Laser Tag or its subsequent imitators, where … [Read more...] about Skirmos is a Laser Tag game that you can program
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
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
Bric+ Case gives a battery and lens to the iPhone
I have seen a lot of cases for the iPhone which give the user to double his or her battery life, and the Bric+ Case is another to add to the mix. This particular one is a Kickstarter project, and it has a lot of cool stuff going for it. The Bric+ Case allows for 2.5 times more than the original battery, and it has an Li-on battery built into this protective case. This is … [Read more...] about Bric+ Case gives a battery and lens to the iPhone
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
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
eleMount is made to stick to the phone, and anyplace else
For some reason, I have been reviewing a lot of smartphone stands which involve sticking them there. I have no idea who makes this sticky stuff, but I have seen it in so many places. Recent examples include the Zyroshell Phone Cradle and the TYLT Capio with NFC. The eleMount is unique as it has stick parts on both ends. These elePads can stick to any flat surface, and … [Read more...] about eleMount is made to stick to the phone, and anyplace else
GoCuff could be the new way of smartphones
I always get excited when I see devices from science fiction become reality. This is probably why I see a need to report on any device that looks like it came from out of Minority Report. In the case of the GoCuff, it is a holder that fits on the sleeve designed for a smartphone. What science fiction book or film is this from? Why, my own, of course. All right, this is a … [Read more...] about GoCuff could be the new way of smartphones
Ziphius gets all of its funding on Kickstarter
I have seen a lot of Kickstarter projects come and go, and I found it odd that this particular project, the Ziphius, made its $125,000 funding goals. So what is the Ziphius? It is a drone that you can control while it is in the water, and it has a camera on it, too. I have seen drones like the AR.Drone from parrot that are quadcopters, and they have a camera too. The … [Read more...] about Ziphius gets all of its funding on Kickstarter
iFetch throws the ball for your dog
Well, I figured that since I have covered the cool Kickstarter project Poppy, a 3D video/photo viewer for the iPhone, I should cover the iFetch. Now, the iFetch is not an iPhone or iPad accessory, but it is made to make life easier, for dog owners. The iFetch is designed for dogs to play fetch with itself, and yes, that does sound really bad now that I have written it … [Read more...] about iFetch throws the ball for your dog
MiiPC is a computer for your kids, controlled by a parent’s smartphone
I'm beginning to think about changing this blog to focus on Kickstarter or other crowdfunded sites, as this is where the best new technology is coming from. Forget those big companies, man. Now, the MiiPC (not related to the Miis from Nintendo Wii) is an interesting machine as it is a mini computer made to be connected to a big screen. From here, the user, and it is … [Read more...] about MiiPC is a computer for your kids, controlled by a parent’s smartphone
ManiGlove let’s you take control of your iPhone by the hand
What you are seeing here isn't some kind of new golfing glove, but it is the ManiGlove. Yeah, that sounds really masculine, doesn't it? However this is designed to hook up to your iPhone or iPod. It hooks up via Bluetooth, and you can touch your thumb and other fingers together to change the volume, change tracks, activate Siri, or even control a PowerPoint presentation. … [Read more...] about ManiGlove let’s you take control of your iPhone by the hand
