I'm sure you are all aware of The Twilight Zone, I mean it was a 1959-1964 speculative fiction anthology show that was in black and white. Then it returned in color for a movie in 1983, then on CBS for another three seasons in 1985-1989. It has one last chance in 2002 for a season on UPN (yeah, remember them?), and now it will have another chance. In fact, there is … [Read more...] about Twilight Zone Reboot will Return as Part Show and Part Game
Tech Reviews
Razer Turret Combo
Well, it has been a while since I have reviewed a Razer product, but not for lack of trying. Dang, has it really been three years since I reviewed the OrbWeaver? Man, I need to get a hands-on review of this. Apparently, Razer has been working on this Turret for about a year. It is a pretty good device that has a keyboard and lapboard for a mouse. It is made for those … [Read more...] about Razer Turret Combo
LifeCHARGE Smart Lamp Speaker
So, this is another Bluetooth speaker that is also a light, and it is not a Secur product. This one is from LifeCHARGE, and I have reviewed their products before with their charging cable. This particular Smart Lamp Speaker is able to sync with mobile device very easily. In fact, you know how most Bluetooth speakers are talking now? This one sounds like George Takei, … [Read more...] about LifeCHARGE Smart Lamp Speaker
Franky Zapata invents a Flyboard, and will the world ever be the same?
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
Slendertone Connect Abs Belt
Let's talk about abs, we all want them. Heck, we all want to look like Thor, and I don't know anyone who wants that muffintop blocking the view of their feet. This is where the Slendertone Connect Abs comes in. Yes, there truly is an application for everything, and it just makes sense to bring physical fitness into the mobile world. The Slendertone Connect Abs is … [Read more...] about Slendertone Connect Abs Belt
WeKast: The Plug and Cast Solution
It looks like we have another great Kickstarter project, and I believe that this one will be receiving its funding. WeKast is a pocket-sized device that allows you to present content straight from a smartphone, tablet, or laptop to any screen. There is a video on the Kickstarter page that kind of over-dramatizes the situation. You know, when you have to deliver a … [Read more...] about WeKast: The Plug and Cast Solution
“Ghost in the Shell” VR Film
I feel odd explaining what Ghost in the Shell is, but if you have never heard of anime (and there are a lot of people that haven't) then you have never heard of Ghost in the Shell. Ghost in the Shell is...a film that has a lot of...female frontal nudity and violence. It's one of those dystopian style science fiction movies, and it means...something. I think it does. … [Read more...] about “Ghost in the Shell” VR Film
Japanese Company Developing an Invisible Train
You know all those movies that take place in the future, where every city looks all dystopian and future-y? Well, in the future, you won't find this invisible train. Actually, you might. This is a Japanese train-travel company Seibu railway, and the idea is to develop a fast commuter train that can blend in the landscape. I don't think that this will be one of those … [Read more...] about Japanese Company Developing an Invisible Train
Our Review of the Roost Laptop Stand
Just like when I reported on the Moleskine Smart Writing Set, it is difficult for me to report on the Roost Laptop Stand, a Portable, Lightweight, Adjustable, Ergonomic Stand without comparing it to the iFold from Matias. I believe that I used as many descriptors that I could at the beginning, and this image should show you what it is. As you can see, it is one of these … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Roost Laptop Stand
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Daredevil, The Good Netflix Version
I reviewed Jessica Jones two weeks ago, and I should probably review these Netflix/Marvel shows from the first one that started it all. If you aren't familiar with Daredevil, then you probably didn't grow up reading the comic, and hopefully never saw Ben Affleck's first attempt to play Batman in the bad 2003 movie attempt. Daredevil is essentially a superhero story, but … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Daredevil, The Good Netflix Version
A Conversation with Renee Gittins, creator of Potions: A Curious Tale
Yesterday, I had a terrific conversation with Renee Gittins, and she is the founder of Stumbling Cat, who created this very cool game known as Potions: A Curious Tale. Before I talk about my talk with Renee, I want to talk about this game. Potions: A Curious Tale is about a girl named Luna, who is this young witch who apparently majored in Potions at Hogwarts. Okay, … [Read more...] about A Conversation with Renee Gittins, creator of Potions: A Curious Tale
Moleskine Smart Writing Set
I can't seem to talk about this product without thinking about the Wacom Bamboo Spark that I reviewed a few months ago. I believe that MoleSkine has a reputation for creating some high-quality notebooks, so they certainly have the branding power to pull a gadget like this off. If you aren't familiar with what the Bamboo Spark is, it allows the user to write on pretty much … [Read more...] about Moleskine Smart Writing Set
The Recent Overwatch Controversy and why it is good and bad for video games overall
See that post there? As much as I like to avoid anything questionable on my website, I do have to address the question. That being whether or not this particular character from Blizzard's new game Overwatch, Tracer is in a hypersexualized pose. Apparently, this is some kind of victory pose from this character, and I don't know that much about this game to know what this … [Read more...] about The Recent Overwatch Controversy and why it is good and bad for video games overall
Nest is killing the Revolv Hub
I'm sure that you have probably heard of Nest, that smart thermostat that you can control remotely. Google bought the company in 2014, and then Nest bought this company Revolv which sold this hub to allow its users to control the lights of their homes. It has been a lot of controversy because Nest apparently was not interested in Revolv technology, but just wanted to get … [Read more...] about Nest is killing the Revolv Hub
