The Amazon Echo is a Siri for your home
Amazon has had some cool stuff for consumers besides all of its books and other things. Now they have the Echo. What is the Echo? Well, you know that Siri that you have on your iPhone or the Google vocal thing on your Android phone? Picture that, but in a cylindrical shape and always in your home. No, that is not creepy at all, but if you want to set an alarm, get … [Read more...] about The Amazon Echo is a Siri for your home
Invisble Planes and Cars! Here’s how.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the future! It is an invisible plane, just like the one that Wonder Woman flies. Actually, it is only invisible on the inside, as you can see on the video above. Seriously, it is not. However, this plane has some kind of touchscreen technology on the walls that allows the user to see outside the walls. Not only do you get quite a view, … [Read more...] about Invisble Planes and Cars! Here’s how.
My Trip to Jet City Comic Show 2014
Well, it was a big weekend for me as I traveled to the west side of Washington State, where Jet City Comic Show was happening at the Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center. I was there with Zharmae, the publisher that I writer for, one of them, at least. Yes, this is my book cover again. I know that I already wrote about it here. However, I did go to Jet City Comic … [Read more...] about My Trip to Jet City Comic Show 2014
Speculative Fiction Saturday, Miyazaki Month: Kiki’s Delivery Service
I realize it is late for me to report on a film for Speculative Fiction Friday, but I was at JetCon all day, and I will report on that later. Today, it is about another film by the great Hayao Miyazaki, Kiki's Delivery Service. Last week, when I talked about Castle in the Sky, I mentioned that Miyazaki's films are usually very complex. They often have no real villain, … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday, Miyazaki Month: Kiki’s Delivery Service
Bluesmart is a very advanced Suitcase
A few months ago, I reported on the Coolest Cooler, which was a cooler on Kickstarter that had just about everything from a cell phone charger and more. To me, this feels like the ultimate technologicalization (I'm totally copyrighting the word) of a color. Today, I'm talking about another technologicalization of something we all know: the suitcase. This is the … [Read more...] about Bluesmart is a very advanced Suitcase

The myCharge Energy Shot
It isn't often that I put the product's packaging with the product, but when it came time to review this product, I was very surprised at what I saw. Yeah, you see that bottle of the MyChrage Energy Shot Backup Battery? It looks like a bottle of 5-hour Energy Drink, doesn't it? I suppose that this is the idea, that the MyCharge Energy Shot is supposed to be what 5-hour … [Read more...] about The myCharge Energy Shot
Your smartphone might open your hotel room door
Remember how I stated that apps have reduced cab-driving in San Francisco by 65 percent? Well, I have discovered another career that might be in danger due to smartphone applications: the hotel front desk clerk. Considering that I used to be one, I would be very worried if I still was one. Starwood Hotels and Resorts became the first chain to allow guests to unlock doors … [Read more...] about Your smartphone might open your hotel room door
AeroMobiil 3.0 Flying Car
From now until Christmas, I am probably going to be writing about whatever products that I can get my hands on. However, I do like to write about a nifty gadget every once in a while, such as the AeroMobil 3.0 flying car. What can I say, it is a flying car! Surely we have to have that by 2015, along with the hoverboard. The Aero Mobil 3.0 has recently been certified by … [Read more...] about AeroMobiil 3.0 Flying Car
The Life Jacket from Altec Lansing is one banging Bluetooth speaker
I realize that I summarized the review of this product within the title, but I'm not certain what else to say about it without saying that it is great. The Altec Lansing Life Jacket follows the model that I see with most Bluetooth Speakers. That is, they are very big, wide, and usually IPX7 rated. That means it is very durable and can withstand water, shock, dirt, sand, … [Read more...] about The Life Jacket from Altec Lansing is one banging Bluetooth speaker

The Jot Touch is compatible with Bluetooth 4.0, and it charges with a USB key that can magnetically lock with the end of the pen. After that, you can use the … [Read more...] about Jot Touch with Pixelpoint from Adonit

For those who don't know, Virgin Galactic has been promising space tourism for quite a while now. It is one of those technologies that always seems to promise an availability date, but it … [Read more...] about Virgin Galactic’s Crash could set back the Space Tourism industry
Will EyeFly3D really change the world?
Okay, are we over 3D yet? I mean, I would imagine it was some cheap thrill when it first came out, and experienced some revival in the 80's, and another since the release of James Cameron's Avatar. Since then, I've seen some films in 3D, and I have enjoyed them. I honestly think I would have liked the 3D films that I saw just as much if they were in 2D. I'm not certain … [Read more...] about Will EyeFly3D really change the world?
Speculative Fiction Saturday, Hayao Miyazaki month: Castle in the Sky
This will be the beginning of Hayao Miyazaki month, where I will discuss a different Hayao Miyazaki film each month. If you never heard of Hayao Miyazaki, I first talked about him when I reviewed Howl's Moving Castle, and his animated films are as complicated as they are fantastic. Unlike last month's Marvel films, I'm going to start from greatest to least. Castle in the … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday, Hayao Miyazaki month: Castle in the Sky
