It has been a while since I reviewed a BACtrack product, because I honestly don't really need them. That is not a slam on the product, because I highly endorse any product that will save lives. There is a kind of poetic justice as I first reviewed a BACtrack product one year ago after CES 2014, and I now am working on reviewing another with the BACtrack Vio. When I first … [Read more...] about The BACtrack Vio Smartphone Breathalyzer

My Review of the IN1 Case for the Galaxy S 5
Our smartphones can really do a lot of things, but if you have to tighten a screw, there is no app for that. The IN1 case is like a Swiss army knife for smartphone cases, and it really is quite cool. Within the IN1 case are small versions of a blue pen, red pen, flathead screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, nail file, tweezers, scissors, and toothpick. Now, you can flick … [Read more...] about My Review of the IN1 Case for the Galaxy S 5
IZZI REMIX Quick Change Lens Case for the iPhone 6
Here is another case for the iPhone 6 that I will be reviewing, and this one is the iZZi REMIX. I'm going to be honest and tell you that the iZZi REMIX is similar in function to the Olloclip, a product that I have reviewed before. The Olloclip is a way to put lenses on your iPhone for some interesting photos. The iZZi REMIX has 5 lenses, and they are the 170 Fisheye … [Read more...] about IZZI REMIX Quick Change Lens Case for the iPhone 6
Typo2 for the iPhone 6
Okay, I might as well just come out and say it and say that the TYPO 2 is a keyboard for your iPhone. Sure, you could get a Bluetooth keyboard, but the TYPO 2 is made for the device itself, the iPhone. Also, why should I have a keyboard on my iPhone when the iPhone gives me one already? Well, the TYPO2 hangs out at the bottom of the screen and brings back 1/3 more … [Read more...] about Typo2 for the iPhone 6
VYSK Privacy Case and EP1
If you have never heard of VYSK before, but you might want to write it down somewhere as they are good protectors of smartphones. For example, I had a chance to try out the VYSK Privacy Case, and they promise not only physical protection, but protection against being hacked. Yeah, after what happened to Sony, we have all feared that word. The Privacy Case is made to send … [Read more...] about VYSK Privacy Case and EP1
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)
I'm going to come out and say that I am going to steal a comment I heard from the Nostalgia Critic and say that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been done too many times. This isn't like Superman, or Batman, who has been around since the thirties. I can understand those reboots, but the Turtles franchise has only been out since the early eighties. It began as a comic … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)
Two 360 cameras at CES Unveiled!
Last night at CES Unveiled, I began to notice trends. One of them was toward wearable technology, which I saw a lot of for last year’s CES. I also noticed that there was a lot of emphasis on a “Connected Home”, which I have also seen at CES in the past. Then I noticed something interesting: cameras that can film in 360. I suppose it was really just an offshoot of the … [Read more...] about Two 360 cameras at CES Unveiled!
We are here at CES 2015!
Well, it is another first week in January, which means we are here for CES. If you are not familiar with it, it is a big consumer electronics trade show that occurs annually in Las Vegas, and The Geek Church is here. Generally, I never really know what I am going to see here. The big names like Samsung, LG, Panasonic, and other of the big names will be making … [Read more...] about We are here at CES 2015!
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Okay, I will admit that I don't really have a theme for this month's Speculative Fiction Saturday, so I'm just going to review some films that I have seen in 2014. I'll go ahead and start with Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Allow me to explain the Planet of the Apes for those who are not familiar with it. It was a movies series that began in the 1970's with a Charlton … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
What I would expect at CES 2015, an extended Back to the Future II joke
Since we are beginning 2015, it is a year that I have looked forward to for a long time. Why? Because in 1989, I was given a vision of it thanks to the Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis film Back to the Future II. At the time, 2015 was 26 years away, so here is what I am looking forward to seeing at CES 2015. First, that flying car. It seems like 2015 was full of … [Read more...] about What I would expect at CES 2015, an extended Back to the Future II joke
Big Tech News Events of 2014
It would appear that this is the year of the hack with "The Interview" movie probably becoming bigger than it should be with Sony getting hacked. Then there was "The Snappening" and "The Fappening". Had a good holiday? Well, Amazon was ready with their Kiva robots. Amazon is also doing this Echo thing, a Siri for your home. Amazon also unveiled the Fire Phone with some … [Read more...] about Big Tech News Events of 2014
All the gadgets that I reviewed this year for 2014!
I mentioned in an earlier post that I will be doing less posts this week. Today, I'll be talking about all of the gadgets that I did hands-on reviews of this year. It will be about what I thought would be very good. Here's a little warning. WordPress has some interesting thing that happens when I put in a hyperlink, so don't be surprised. Finally got a chance to … [Read more...] about All the gadgets that I reviewed this year for 2014!
We are giving away an iRig Pads from IK Multimedia!
We're probably not going to have a lot of posts this week, just like we had last week. The reason why is it is a holiday, plus I will be traveling to CES in Las Vegas and will have to take a few days off for the excess trip. Since it has been a while since we had a giveaway, I thought I would end this year with one final one. It is the iRig Pads from IK Multimedia. It … [Read more...] about We are giving away an iRig Pads from IK Multimedia!
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Big Hero 6
This will be the last film that I will talk about this year, but I don't think it is really the best. This isn't to say that Big Hero 6 is a bad movie, as it does stand out in a world full of superhero movies. The fact that it is Disney, owner of Marvel, the king of superhero movies makes it self-aware. "Self-aware" is one of those terms thrown about by Internet critics … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Big Hero 6
DisneyWorld Accepting Mobile Payments
We have reported on Apple Pay, and I think it is probable that we are headed for a mobile payment era. I haven't really heard much about it, other than the fact it is taking place. Well, I suppose that if anyone is going to help a new fad become completely mainstream, it is Disney. Man, that sentence ended up being more of a slam than I really wanted it to be. Of … [Read more...] about DisneyWorld Accepting Mobile Payments
