I have to admit that I might know a few contemporary songs here and there, but I rarely watch videos these days. I also have to admit that I have barely heard of Bjork, but I think I heard that she attended some event in a swan dress. Her newest video is in 360, and I can't seem to understand the lyrics, but it is quite interesting to see what can be done with it. I have … [Read more...] about Bjork’s newest video goes full 360

Speculative Fiction Saturday: Sword Art Online
I don't review a lot of anime on this, with the exception of Psycho-Pass and the Hayao Miyazaki films. Ever since I went to MomoCon 2015, and I saw all of attendees dress as anime characters that I had never heard of, I suddenly realize that I have a lot to catch up on. I decided to watch Sword Art Online, and this is like the Twilight of anime. It's not that it has a … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Sword Art Online

My Trip to MomoCon 2015: Part 3
Okay, this is another day at MomoCon! I'm going to start with this one, because I love Rob and Doug Walker. I plan to do a separate article about them, and I'm trying to get a review.

Sorry I didn't get a clearer shot. … [Read more...] about My Trip to MomoCon 2015: Part 3
My Trip to MomoCon 2015: Part 2
In case you didn't notice, we did not have Speculative Fiction Saturday this week because I am quite busy at MomoCon. Here are some more pics of the cosplayers. Check it out! Who are you? I'm Nightwing! Good design on this one, and I think it is quite different than its source material inspiration. Not a costume, but I do love me the Mystery Machine with Scooby-Doo … [Read more...] about My Trip to MomoCon 2015: Part 2

I am at MomoCon 2015!
As you read this, I am hopefully in Atlanta enjoying MomoCon 2015. If you aren't familiar with MomoCon, it is one of those events made for fans of anime, comics, video games, and all thinks geeky. Yeah, I haven't been to one of these in a few months, and I flew down from Washington state across the nation just to attend. As it so happens, I am also going to be speaking. … [Read more...] about I am at MomoCon 2015!
Technobabylon from WadjetEye Games
Okay, I had a chance to try out Technobabylon, and I have to admit it reminds me of Sierra Online games like Space Quest, but with a more dystopian twist. Technobabylon, which I will readily admit I will give points for on its sheer name alone, takes place in a world of 2087. In this world, it appears that Big Brother has arrived 100 years too late, as there is an … [Read more...] about Technobabylon from WadjetEye Games
Makeblock MBot Educational Robot Kit
As someone who has had a lot of experience dealing with LEGO MINDSTORMS, I admire any new device that helps with STEM (Science, Technology, Education, and Mathematics) education. Makeblock has created the mBot, and I had a chance to try it out. In its own words, the mBot is a "low cost, easy-to-run robot kit for kids to get hands-on experience about graphical programming, … [Read more...] about Makeblock MBot Educational Robot Kit
John Nash, inspiration for “A Beautiful Mind” dies in car crash with his wife
This is a time that I am sad to report that John Nash and his wife Alicia, died in a car crash in New Jersey on Saturday. Apparently, the two were in a tax that lost control and hit another car. If you have never heard of John Nash, he was a brilliant mathematician, and the only reason why I know him was because he was the subject of a film called A Beautiful Mind, which … [Read more...] about John Nash, inspiration for “A Beautiful Mind” dies in car crash with his wife
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Winter’s Tale, if you have heard of it
Don't feel bad if you haven't heard of this film, as it was released in February, and that's when the usual B-rated films, but not bad January films, get released. This is changing due to good movies that get released in February like The Lego Movie, but Winter's Tale isn't the unexpected treasure that I was hoping it would be. You know those films that come out, and you … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Winter’s Tale, if you have heard of it
Razer creates a Firefly gaming mat
I have reviewed a lot of Razer products in the past, and they are best known for their video game or PC gaming accessories. One of the things that I really love is how they can really make gaming mice interesting, and now, a gaming mousepad. Yes, the Razer Firefly is able to put some chromatic magic to your desk. Considering that the company is famous for some serious … [Read more...] about Razer creates a Firefly gaming mat
People actually spent 520 days inside to test going to Mars
Considering that I have written about people who are trapped within an enclosed space, I felt a need to report on these six test subjects who were locked in a module in Moscow for 520 days to test the effects of isolation on small group dynamics and individual psychology. These people were selected from Russia, China, and Europe and they had to pretend that they were on … [Read more...] about People actually spent 520 days inside to test going to Mars
