It has been a while since I reviewed a product from Speck, and I have reviewed the Candyshell before. This particular Candyshell is a Clear and military-grade impact protection for the iPhone 6 Plus (or iPhone 6S Plus). The Candyshell is one of those cases where you just snap the phone in, and it has some raised bezel screen protection. As said before, it has … [Read more...] about Speck CandyShell Clear Case

Go Puck 5X and Active Mount Review
Here is another product that I found at CES 2016, and it isn't exactly one that I haven't reviewed before. Yeah, the Go Puck (please resist the urge to say "yourself" after this product) is a mobile battery, and I just reviewed the MyCharge HubPlus. The 5X version is about the size of your palm, which is about the size of the 3X model as well. It has about 6600 mAh which … [Read more...] about Go Puck 5X and Active Mount Review
MiLi iData Flash Drive
So, now that I have been back from CES, I can finally write about all of the cool stuff that I saw there. It is going to take all year to write about, honestly. This is the iData Flash Drive from MiLi,and I have been wanting to review it for a while. Simply put, the MiLi iData is essentially a thumb drive for an iDevice. As you can see, it has a Lightning connector and it … [Read more...] about MiLi iData Flash Drive
Speculative Fiction Friday: Darkman, and how did I miss this one?
Yes, you read right, this is Darkman. I realize that this film is 26 years old, but I have no idea how I missed it. I remember seeing a preview for it while I was waiting for Back to the Future III to start, and I realized that makes me old, because this was the summer after I graduated high school. I actually think that I was starting college when this film came out, so … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Friday: Darkman, and how did I miss this one?
CES 2016: The Future is Mesh
Every year, I come to CES as a media representative, and the show is kind enough to provide the media or press with a bag. Needless to say, my family and I got a lot of use from these bags over the years, and these backbags or handbags can usually carry a laptop. Below is an example of a bag that CES used to give out, but to the right is a picture of me with this year's … [Read more...] about CES 2016: The Future is Mesh
Yeah, we are here at CES!
In case you are not aware, Kris and I are at CES 2016. If you don't know what CES is, it is a big tech convention held annually every year at Las Vegas. 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. We'll be covering … [Read more...] about Yeah, we are here at CES!
Speculative Fiction Saturday: San Andreas
I remember seeing the previews for this film, and thought it was a Roland Emmerich film. If you aren't familiar with his body of work, he has made essentially the modern-day disaster flick with Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow, and 2012. After all, it has a big disaster going on, full of characters that you follow along the way. I knew this film was not going to be … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: San Andreas

Now that the New Year is almost here, it is time to talk about what happened this year. Well, we know the big movie news, Star Wars Episode VII was released. I also learned that Betamax was dead. 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. Apparently, … [Read more...] about All the big tech and Gadget News from 2015!
All the Gadgets that I reviewed in 2015!
Okay, with New Years Day is quickly approaching, and it is time for me to do my year in review as I become very impressed at the gadget that I reviewed for the year. This particular iRig Acoustic from IK Multimedia is sure unique! This SEIDIO LUMA case for the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus can make the iPhone glow. We also reviewed the STM Atlas Wallet Case for the same … [Read more...] about All the Gadgets that I reviewed in 2015!
myCharge HubPlus
After New Year's Day, I will be heading to Las Vegas, and I could be using something like the myCharge HubPlus. I had a chance to try it out as a little bonus Christmas present. This is the Rechargeable 6000mAh portable charger from myCharge, and it is something that I have reviewed before with the mobile battery. In this case, the HubPlus has retractable prongs to it … [Read more...] about myCharge HubPlus
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Home, a kid’s movie that adults can appreciate
I might be a little late on this film, but it does take place during Christmas. I was not excited to see this film, and the only reason why I saw it was because it is free on Netflix. The ads for it did not look good, because I thought it was another "child meets alien" story like E.T., The Iron Giant, Lilo and Stitch, and Earth to Echo. The trailers for this film did … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Home, a kid’s movie that adults can appreciate
Special Holiday Speculative Fiction Saturday Comes Early with Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Unleashed
I have mentioned more than enough times how I wasn't certain if I wanted to see Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. Of course I was planning to see it because, well, it's Star Wars, and I grew up with it. As it so happens, the other site that I write for, The Gospel Herald, wanted me to write about it. You can read what I wrote about it here, but there is a warning … [Read more...] about Special Holiday Speculative Fiction Saturday Comes Early with Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Unleashed
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?
Our Review of the iRig Acoustic from IK Multimedia
I have to admit that IK Multimedia's products are usually a very niche product, and the iRig Acoustic is the first acoustic guitar mobile microphone/interface for acoustic players. As you can see in the image, it is essentially a guitar pick shape that clips on the guitar or other appropriate stringed instrument. It clips on very easily, and it uses this MEMS … [Read more...] about Our Review of the iRig Acoustic from IK Multimedia
Speculative Fiction Saturday: A Nightmare Before Christmas
Considering that Christmas is coming up, I figure I should probably review a speculative fiction Christmas movie. Something that I realized the other day that a lot of Christmas stories have nothing to do with Christmas. I mean, if you think about It's a Wonderful Life, it really is about a guy who realizes that everyone has a destiny. The story just happens to take place on … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: A Nightmare Before Christmas
