I realize that I am quite late on this post, and yep, this happens. I generally do a post or two a day, but honestly, my readership is incredibly low. I pretty much took a week off to visit PAX Prime 2015, and honestly, I think I had the best time of all. See this picture here? This is just some promotional material for something related to Magic The Gathering, and it … [Read more...] about What PAX Prime 2015 is all about, if you missed it

Artemis Fowl, the Book, possible Movie, and why it shouldn’t happen
I realize that I should probably be reading more books, and perhaps I could have saved this commentary for Speculative Fiction Friday. Still, I have been meaning to read the Artemis Fowl series after I reviewed author Eoin Colfer's the W.A.R.P. series, Book 1: The Reluctant Assassin. Artemis Fowl came out in 2001, when the first Harry Potter movie came out. Thanks to the … [Read more...] about Artemis Fowl, the Book, possible Movie, and why it shouldn’t happen
Another Day at PAX Prime 2015!
Today was my last day at PAX 2015, and I decided to spend it taking pictures of all the great cosplayers! It was quite a day. Here's Liara from the Mass Effect series. It is a great costume. This is Liara reading my awesome book. I believe that this is from Tracer Overwatch, and it is pretty good. An employee from Aperture showed up to … [Read more...] about Another Day at PAX Prime 2015!
Speculative Fiction Saturday: WarGames, and PAX Prime
Since I'm at PAX Prime this weekend, I am posting this Speculative Fiction Saturday review in advance. This is a film with video games as a big part of the storyline. I will have to tell you this was one of my favorite movies back when I was a teenager, and I would have to say there is an influence that I can sense today, not just in me, but other films as well. WarGames … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: WarGames, and PAX Prime
PAX Prime 2015, Day One
I've had an awesome day at PAX Prime, and one of the best part of it seeing all the cosplayers. There are just some that I was able to take pictures of, and I saw want to have more pictures by tomorrow. I thought this was Poison Ivy, the Batman villain. Was I wrong! This is the fairy from the The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time. It's Amethyst from … [Read more...] about PAX Prime 2015, Day One
The Wii U Niche Market and Mario Party 10
As I reported a while ago, I bought a Wii U a while ago and enjoyed Super Mario World 3D. I have also reported the possibility that the days of Nintendo could be numbered. The thing is, I have had Mario Party 10 for a while, and I have just recently started playing it. I believe it is the Wii U's niche market. If you are not familiar with the Mario Party series, it is … [Read more...] about The Wii U Niche Market and Mario Party 10
Review of the Ozobot Bit
The first time that I saw Ozobot, it was at CES. There was a table with these little things the size of little bugs oozing around on the table. All I could think about was how cute it was. The Ozobot movies through two micro-motors for some serious maneuverability. As it is, the Ozobot Bit is one of those STEM toys. For those that don't know, STEM stands for Science, … [Read more...] about Review of the Ozobot Bit
Case Logic Kontrast DSLR Shoulder Bag
Well, I had another chance to try out some Case Logic products, and was pleased to receive the Kontrast DSLR Shoulder Bag. I have to admit, when it arrived, I thought I had received some kind of lunchbox or some kind of old-school binoculars case. I don't know how many of my readers got that reference, if you will even call it that. The zipper on top is made to open up … [Read more...] about Case Logic Kontrast DSLR Shoulder Bag
A Bad Habit that Christianity Needs to Quit
I'm going to be honest when I say that I love Christ, but there are times when I hate Christians. I suppose that a certain group of people following biblical doctrines will produce very similar response, and I have to admit that I am a Christian because I like the good responses. Unfortunately, there is an opposite side of the coin. The issue that I have is that … [Read more...] about A Bad Habit that Christianity Needs to Quit
Ashley Madison, My Response, Part Two
Well, it would appear that the Impact Team has made good on their promise to bring the information from Ashley Madison's 37 million subscribers online. I'm not going to put where you can get this information, I am told that downloading it requires a special browser but you're smart enough to read this from a computer, so you can probably figure out how to do this yourself. … [Read more...] about Ashley Madison, My Response, Part Two
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Seeking a Friend at the End of the World
I don't know if we are at the point where we can label anything a comedy. I don't know when it was considered acceptable to do a film about the end of the world and call it a comedy, but there have been several films about "the end of the world as we know it" in this decade alone and they are played for laughs. It is quite possible that we got afraid of that whole 2012 Mayan … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Seeking a Friend at the End of the World
JFK Can Track Cellular Phones to Predict Wait Times
Most of us have been told that we should arrive at the airport a few hours early to catch our flights, because TSA lines take a while to go through. Personally, I never lost my patience, because I never wanted the TSA to take me out. New York's JFK Terminal 4, there is some new information in the form of some screens that show how long the wait time will be. The screens … [Read more...] about JFK Can Track Cellular Phones to Predict Wait Times
The Helmet from iFamCare
What you are seeing here is not necessarily a helmet, and I am not really certain why it is called that. I guess it kind of looks like one...anyway, the iFamCare is a good way of watching your connected home. The iFamCare Helmet has 360 degree coverage on the horizontal and 70 degrees of vertical. You can install the Wi-Fi to your home network and view anywhere on 3G, … [Read more...] about The Helmet from iFamCare
The speeC-EZ from iCreation
I recently had a chance to get to know a company called iCreation, and I would highly recommend checking out their products if you haven't already. They now have a Kickstarter project that is called the speeC-EZ. In case you are stumbling on the pronunciation, it is pronounced "Speakeasy". You know, those places during Prohibition that sold illegal alcoholic beverages. … [Read more...] about The speeC-EZ from iCreation
TYLT FLYP-DUO Reversible USB and Y-CHARGE [QUIK]
Yes, I've had the privilege of reviewing TYLT products before, and I was pleased to try out some new ones with the FLYP-DUO and the Y-CHARGE [QUIK]. I'll start with the FLYP-DUO, that is named for lots of flipping and duo-able action. I'll start by saying that it has both a micro-USB as well as a Lightning connector. This means that it is good for both Apple and Android … [Read more...] about TYLT FLYP-DUO Reversible USB and Y-CHARGE [QUIK]
