I'm not certain why I happen to like the Kenu Stance, but sometimes interesting products just jump right out you. This particular product is a tripod made for the iPhone, and apparently only the iPhone. This clearly comes in handy for when you want to watch a video but only if it is in portrait mode. It is also good for Facetime, I would imagine that it is good for even … [Read more...] about The Kenu Stance, a tripod for the iPhone

Last week, it was a comet that actually broke the Internet
I'm going to have to apologize to my readers. I saw a meme the other day which used a stock footage picture of Captain Picard saying that we shouldn't be focusing on a naked picture of Kim Kardashian when we have landed on a comet? In case you haven't heard, Philae has landed on a something on a comet and I am told it was a successful drilling attempt. While I'm not … [Read more...] about Last week, it was a comet that actually broke the Internet
Speculative Fiction Saturday, Miyazaki Month: Ponyo
I will be honest that I don't think that Ponyo is the worst Miyazaki film that I have ever seen, but it is the one that I probably like the least. However, it is still a very good movie. Like most Miyazaki films, the plot is pretty complicated for a film that looks like it is targeted for children. Of course, a lot of children's films like the ones from Disney and Pixar … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday, Miyazaki Month: Ponyo

Alpine Headphones are amazing, and I want to try them out. I believe that they have a slogan is "sound that you can feel".

It has 2 x 40 mm high performance drivers, and it also has a 24-bit stereo audio analog-to-digital/digital-to-analog converter. Oh, did I mention that there … [Read more...] about Alpine Headphones, ’nuff said!

That's right, this is a fitness monitor that actually tells you about your … [Read more...] about The PulseOn Heart Rate Monitor

At a recent Developer Conference from Samsung, the big S unveiled the Gear VR Innovator Edition.
