I'm going to have to say that I truly love the design of the iBaby Monitor M6. As you can see, it has a look of two joined balls, one large and one small. The purpose of these … [Read more...] about The iBaby Monitor M6
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Snowpiercer
Okay, I can understand if you have never heard of this one. It has a lot of star power with Chris Evans, Ed Harris, John Hurt, Tilda Swinton, and Jamie Bell. I believe that this is a foreign film, as it was not made in America, and there are some good and bad things about this film. Snowpiercer is about a train of the same name, and it carries the last survivors of the … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Snowpiercer
Super Trailer Thursday: Star Wars The Force Awakens and Batman V. Superman
Okay, clearly you would have to be living in a galaxy far far away to not know this, but there was another trailer for Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. The moment that I heard about it, I could hear the Star Wars theme from tablets and smartphones. I'll have to be honest, it looks very cool. Unfortunately, a lot of the trailer is a bunch of nifty special effects … [Read more...] about Super Trailer Thursday: Star Wars The Force Awakens and Batman V. Superman

CJ 4DPlex could create some interesting theater experiences
When Avatar first hit the theaters in 2009, it was a terrific way that 3D got people back into the movie houses. People actually saw that film several times, and I can't remember when that has ever happened. There were a lot of 3D imitations after that, but the fad (which has happened several times in several eras) has passed, honestly. The only thing left to do after 3D … [Read more...] about CJ 4DPlex could create some interesting theater experiences
Gillette has Avengers-themed razors?
I know that with Avengers: Age of Ultron coming out in May, there is going to be a lot of toys for it. And there are with Lego and Hasbro, but Gillette has some Avengers toys for adults. Okay, it isn't what you think with that "adult toy" comment. Basically, they are razors with themes of the Avengers. They include Iron Man with an Arc Reactor, Captain America with a … [Read more...] about Gillette has Avengers-themed razors?
What color is the dress? Is the cat up or down? Why does the Internet obsess over stuff like this?
No doubt you heard of that photo captioned "what color is the dress", which made its way all around social networks. In all honesty, I can't remember if that was so...last month or so...last week, but it leads me to wonder why certain things get so much attention. The one that happened this week was from 9Gag.com, and it shows a cat who is going up stairs. Or is that cat … [Read more...] about What color is the dress? Is the cat up or down?

LG G4 to debut on April 28th, leaked pictures and news

A well-known leaker named Evan Blass has discovered the new LG G4, the sequel to the LG G3. A site that Blass linked to has been since taken down, which means that the site could be fake or accidentally (or maybe intentionally) leaked by LG. … [Read more...] about LG G4 to debut on April 28th, leaked pictures and news
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Noah
Okay, before I start this, let me explain that Noah is speculative fiction. I realize that it is based on Noah from Genesis, which is a story that I believe is true. However, it is clear that Noah is very far from its source material, and I don't know what the vision of making this film could have started out as. I'm sure someone thought Noah would be a good movie, but … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Noah

Uber Safe posts could start a new trend
I have to admit that I have no experience using Uber or Lyft, other than they are reducing San Francisco's cab traffic by 65 percent. Still, I liked seeing this development with Uber Safe. This Uber Safe is a kiosk that is part of a test profram in Toronto Canada. Uber Safe promises to give a a free ride if you do not pass the breathalyzer test. So far, Uber is … [Read more...] about Uber Safe posts could start a new trend
SOLOSHOT2 lets you film yourself automatically
Yesterday, I covered the Podo camera, which can stick to the wall and allow you to take pictures of yourself. It looks like the SOLOSHOT2 takes selfies to the video level. For some reason, I have been seeing a lot of ads for SOLOSHOT that precede these YouTube videos that I have been watching. Today, I didn't hit "Skip Ad", but I like the idea of a base and tag system … [Read more...] about SOLOSHOT2 lets you film yourself automatically
