Sony Concept N Shows Us the Future of Headphones
Every once in a while, you will see technology that is just plain outdated. You know, like a typewriter, a black-and-white TV, a cassette recorder, and all kinds of things like that. However, the headphone hasn't really changed much, including the earbud. Now imagine if someone just outright changed the technology of how we hear personal sound. This Concept N from … [Read more...] about Sony Concept N Shows Us the Future of Headphones
Our Review of the Roccat Ryos MK FX Gaming Keyboard

This is one of those gaming keyboards designed for those that are professional MMO gamers or just those who really want to play those games better than I do.

Speculative Fiction Saturday: American Dad, Because Why Not?
I have to admit, that I don't really have much of a plan for this month as far as reviewing speculative fiction stuff is concerned. Still, like my review of Gravity Falls, last week, American Dad is pretty much a speculative fiction TV show. Of course, most would not classify it as that. For those who don't know, American Dad is from Seth MacFarlane's animation company, … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: American Dad, Because Why Not?
Our Review of the TiVo Bolt or Confessions of a TiVo Virgin
So, I am going to have to admit that I would like to think that I have the latest in technology, but I didn't have a TiVo until a few days ago. In fact, I was pleased that I could try out the TiVo Bolt. If you aren't familiar with TiVo, then where have you been? I guess the same place where I have been, but at least I know what a TiVo is. In the case of the Bolt, it is … [Read more...] about Our Review of the TiVo Bolt or Confessions of a TiVo Virgin

Honey, Where is my Super Suit?
Okay, I am stealing from The Incredibles with that headline, and it is the best and most obvious headline for this particular product. The Super Suit looks like something like a cross between Tron, Iron Man, and whatever other property that Disney owes. The SuperSuit is something that isn't just out yet, but it is one heck of a playing uniform. It is made for adults and … [Read more...] about Honey, Where is my Super Suit?

Our Review of Tiffen’s Steadicam Smoothee
Well, we had a chance to try out something that most smartphone users need, or at least those who use their smartphone for videos. That is the Steadicam Smoothee from Tiffen. You can see it in the image here of what it looks like, and let's just say when I was putting it on my smartphone, my wife came in while I was doing it. Yeah, it looks a little weird, because yes, … [Read more...] about Our Review of Tiffen’s Steadicam Smoothee
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Gravity Falls
When I was reviewing Avatar: The Last Airbender, I mentioned that I wished every show was like it. I have now discovered another series that is just as good, and I want to share what it is that makes a good speculative fiction series: 1) Great Characters Personally, if you can think of any great story, it really is about how deep and great the characters are. The main … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Gravity Falls
Ripple Maker Lets You Put Any Image on Your Coffee
Once again, I am going to review a product that I saw at CES, but I just haven't got around to writing about it. This is the Ripple Maker, and it does what it says in the title. Most people think it is so cool to see a leaf pattern in the coffee, but Ripple Maker takes it a step further. I don't know if you can see it, but there is a dog in the coffee. That is, there is … [Read more...] about Ripple Maker Lets You Put Any Image on Your Coffee
Lifeprint is the Coolest Tech that I have seen so far this year
I realize that it is difficult to say that anything is big deal, and I really should have reported on this when I saw it at CES 2016. Yes, I did say that the future is "mesh", as if to substitute the last word from "meh", but honestly, the Lifeprint is very good. I can't remember what after-party that I saw this at CES, but some man just came up to me with a photo and … [Read more...] about Lifeprint is the Coolest Tech that I have seen so far this year
Vintage Soda Watch
So, this is a review of a watch, and it is not a smart one. This doesn't meant it is a dumb one! This is by Vintage Soda, why soda? It's bubbly, it's sweet, it's delicious! Actually, it uses the style of vintage soda, which is...very smart. Yes, normally I don't cover a regular watch here on this site because watches are kind of passe, really.

Our Game Review of Assault Android Cactus
I will have to say that Assault Android Cactus is a twin-stick shooter game. If you aren't familiar with twin-sticks, there was a terrific stand-up arcade game known as Robotron 2084 that is a good example of this. They boil down to one joystick does the moving does the firing. From what I remember, these twin-stick shooter games can be very confusing as one hand moves … [Read more...] about Our Game Review of Assault Android Cactus
