It has been a while since I have reviewed a Masimo product, and part of that is because the company makes a lot of high-quality medical products that aren't available for typical, non-medical consumer use. Similar to the iSpO2 Pulse Oximeter, the MightySat Fingertip Pulse Oximeter is made for those that want medical fitness information on hand. Yes, there are people who … [Read more...] about Masimo MightySat with Bluetooth LE & PVI

Soft Case from FUZ Designs
I've reviewed FUZ designs products before, like the Dock for the Apple Watch. I had a chance to review a FUZ Designs product for another Apple product with the Soft Case for the iPhone 6/6S. It is pretty easy why it is called the Soft Case. It feels soft to the touch and made with precision-cut polyurethane that is squeezable. The website describes it as "the Apple … [Read more...] about Soft Case from FUZ Designs
Kolibree Can Claim It Is The Smartest and Most Elegant Toothbrush
I think that that best term that I can use to describe the Kolibree toothbrush is "gamification". That is, that if there is a way to do something, someone has to make a way to put points on it so you can keep doing this. I suppose that one of the most mundane things in the world is brushing your teeth, so why not have a method of making you do something. The Kolibree allows … [Read more...] about Kolibree Can Claim It Is The Smartest and Most Elegant Toothbrush
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Divergent, the Book and the Movie
I have a little rule that I don't always keep. If a film is based on a book, I will try to read the book before I see the movie. I did this for several films that I have seen, and Divergent is a film that I saw a day or so after I finished the book. The biggest issue that I have with Divergent is it seems part of a genre among young adult fiction that has grown immensely … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Divergent, the Book and the Movie
The OGIO Ascent and Apollo Backpacks
Since we are getting into the holiday season since we started the month of October, it is time to think about gift ideas. I'm thinking anything by OGIO for a young or old active professional is good, and the Active and Ascent Packs would be a great big gift under the tree. I'll go ahead and start with the Apollo. It is a laptop backpack with a "streamlined" design for … [Read more...] about The OGIO Ascent and Apollo Backpacks
The Google Pixel C, the mystery tablet coming soon!
I'm sure you already know about the big announcement that Google made concerning some new devices, the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P, not to mention the new Chromecast and Chromecast Audio. However, something really funny happened at the end of the presentation as Google decided to just show off the Pixel C. Let me put it this way: I was writing about the Google event, via a live … [Read more...] about The Google Pixel C, the mystery tablet coming soon!
Why I like The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD for the Wii U
There is no real way of saying this other than just saying it: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD is a cash-grab. The truth is that Nintendo realized once the Wii U came out that there wouldn't be another Legend of Zelda game for a while, but this is what fans wanted. I've said before how Nintendo just kind of makes its own rules and the fans just follow, but unlike … [Read more...] about Why I like The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD for the Wii U
Red Moon and Water on the Red Planet
It really was a big weekend for astronomy. Not only did that big supermoon lunar eclipse happen, but there is confirmation of water on Mars. So what? Well, if we ever have to go there, then we don't have to worry about bringing a big waterbottle with us. Yeah, we are nowhere near that point, at least so we don't need to journey to Mars out of necessity. Apparently, … [Read more...] about Red Moon and Water on the Red Planet
The HyperX Cloud II Headset from Kingston
It has been a year since I have reviewed the HyperX Cloud, so it stands to reason that I reviewing the HyperX Cloud II headset one year later. I have to say that I like this particular Headset for gaming and PC, and I'm trying it out now while watching the pilot for the Minority Report TV series. I'll talk about that later. The HyperX Cloud II has a newly designed USB … [Read more...] about The HyperX Cloud II Headset from Kingston
Speculative Fiction Saturday: We finally got around to reviewing Inside Out
Some of you might remember when I spent time reviewing Pixar films, and how I praised the studio for making original films, even though their most recent material has been mediocre and sequels. Inside Out is a step in the right direction, and I have to admit that it is difficult to watch this film without getting emotionally involved. My own feelings on this film are slightly … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: We finally got around to reviewing Inside Out
So What is Wrong with the New Muppets TV Show? Besides the Pilot Not Being that Funny.
Well, it isn't Speculative Fiction Saturday yet, and honestly, I'm not certain I can really count a Muppet film or TV show as speculative fiction. Then again, just check out what I reviewed last week. Anyway, I had a chance to check out the new Muppet TV show, simply known as The Muppets. I suppose that this article is a response to the One Million Moms who released a … [Read more...] about So What is Wrong with the New Muppets TV Show? Besides the Pilot Not Being that Funny.
Vertu New Signature Touch Smartphone
When it comes to really gourmet stuff, the same names come up like Rolex, Rolls-Royce, Prada, and Fancy Feast. Okay, that last one was a stretch, but you get the point. This Vertu Signature Touch is something for that 1 percent that everyone talks about. Vertu's new Signature Touch has a Snapdragon 810 with 4 GB of RAM, as well as 64 GB of storage expandable via micro SD … [Read more...] about Vertu New Signature Touch Smartphone
The 360 Fly takes 360 videos on the…do I need to say it?
What you are seeing here is not a small grenade, but hopefully the TSA will figure that out before there are any Ahmed Mohamed mistakes. This is the 360Fly, and it is a single lens-camera that can capture seamless content at 360 degrees on the horizontal and 240 degrees on the vertical. I've tried out other 360 cameras before such as the V.360, and I'm hoping this one … [Read more...] about The 360 Fly takes 360 videos on the…do I need to say it?
Land’s End is a significantly cool VR game
Some of you might remember a little game known as Monument Valley, and considering that it has been downloaded over 2.5 million times, it's hardly little. The makers of the game, Ustwo, is working on a game for virtual reality known as Land's End. Land's End was definitely inspired by the CD-Rom game Myst, and I'm not going to explain that reference. I've always loved … [Read more...] about Land’s End is a significantly cool VR game
Matias Quiet Pro Keyboard Review
I was hoping that I could get around to reviewing the Matias Quiet Pro Keyboard before the whole back to school season, but that just didn't really happen. Still, for those that want to type out a paper and not wake their college roommate, you could probably get this. I'm going to address something that would have affected my review, but I believe that Matias is telling … [Read more...] about Matias Quiet Pro Keyboard Review
