Last week, I reported that I was headed to the Penny Arcade Expo. If you have never been to a gaming convention, comic convention or any other type of con, you know that there there are a lot of cosplay going on. I have to say that the best part of the convention was when I just walked around and just took pictures of the cosplayers. After the jump, you are going to see … [Read more...] about I’m back from PAXPrime 2014 and I have some awesome Cosplay pictures!

Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Fountain
Well, I suppose that our weird independent films month is over. I myself am currently at a gamer's conventino in Seattle known as PAXPrime, which I will spend all of next week talking about. I figured I would spend time talking about our 4 i's films with our old friend Darren Aronofsky. Some of you might remember when I talked about Aronofsky before with my review of his … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Fountain
We’re here at PAX Prime 2014 in Seattle!
Should I say anything more? Well, for those who don't know, PAX Prime is a big Gamers convention in Seattle. There are more of them, like PAX East, PAX South, PAX Aus, and PAX Dev, all at different locations, but I don't really know much about the last one. Unlike some gaming conventions, this one is not made for the gaming industry. PAX began in Seattle, and it was … [Read more...] about We’re here at PAX Prime 2014 in Seattle!
Leap Motion to bring more to the Oculus Rift
I've said several times that I believe that Oculus Rift will change the world. I've mentioned too many times to even bother to put a link here to a related article. This would be the first time that I mention the Leap Motion, which takes the Oculus Rift one step further. The Leap Motion is intended to "put your hands in" the Oculus Rift. Just putting this Leap Motion on … [Read more...] about Leap Motion to bring more to the Oculus Rift
Rubik’s Cube comes in X-Shape
We all know about the Rubik's Cube and how some people have been trying to solve it for decades. Now imagine that Rubik's Cube in the shape of an X. Yes, that does sound like a nightmare. This X-Cube has 52 moving parts and 102 colored stickers. According to my Source, that is 125,486,757,308,950,508,983,252,156,416,000,000 combinations, and I would be quite surprised … [Read more...] about Rubik’s Cube comes in X-Shape
Meet Clockety, the World’s First Smartphone Projection Clock
The image that you see here isn't really a good representation of what Clockety is about. I will attempt to explain what the World's First Smartphone Project Clock is. Imagine a device that you can put on your smartphone that will project the time on your ceiling. Why would you want that? Well, why should you have to turn on your phone every time you wake up and want to … [Read more...] about Meet Clockety, the World’s First Smartphone Projection Clock
Casio Exilim EX-FR10 Action Camera
I think that we all know that the camera biz got shaken up with the age of the smartphone as well as the dawn of the GoPro. The Casio EXILIM EX-FR10 is definitely a step in a new direction when it comes to cameras. The EX-FR10 has one extremely interesting feature as it is the only camera that I know that can detach its lens from its touchscreen. You can also join the … [Read more...] about Casio Exilim EX-FR10 Action Camera
Spheree, a 3D Interactive Spherical Scalable Display
I saw a picture of the Spheree on my Source, and I thought it was some kind of crystal ball, but with holograms. Seriously, wouldn't you pay good money for something that? After all, who wouldn't want some way to communicate with their friend as a 3-D floating head? Unfortunately, this is not what the Spheree is. It is essentially a ball-shaped screen where you can work … [Read more...] about Spheree, a 3D Interactive Spherical Scalable Display
Amazon acquires Twitch
I have reported a lot about giant companies acquiring big companies before. Remember when Facebook bought Instagram? Today, I am hearing a lot of about Amazon acquiring Twitch. If you aren't familiar with Twitch, think of it as a place where video gamers can go to post their gaming. It is a lot of fun, and it has a lot of hits. There was apparently some rumors that … [Read more...] about Amazon acquires Twitch
The QBracelet, a bracelet that can charge a mobile device!
As many of you know, I have reviewed many mobile batteries made specifically so mobile devices don't run out of power when we need them the most. Usually, these mobile batteries are these bricks that are often thicker and heavier than the mobile phone even tablet that you want to charge. A new standard could be set with the QBracelet. The QBracelet is a battery that the … [Read more...] about The QBracelet, a bracelet that can charge a mobile device!
Press “Buy” to purchase on Twitter?
I realize that Amazon has that one-click purchase, but I don't think some users think it is fast enough. Generally, there is a confirmation click after that. Okay, so you saw the headline, and you can see that the microblogging company is interested in making a "Buy" button. They want to do this with a company known as Stripe, a payments startup. This means that if you … [Read more...] about Press “Buy” to purchase on Twitter?
Jokari Soda Bottle Fizz Keeper Pump
Is it just me, or do some of the most delicious foods have a real short lifespan. McDonalds French Fries only last fifteen minutes before they become what I call "cold sticks of death". Soda bottles that you open up and close again are good for about one day before it just turns flat. However, if you had the Jokari Soda Bottle Fizz Keeper Pump, you can keep the bubbles … [Read more...] about Jokari Soda Bottle Fizz Keeper Pump
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Synecdoche, New York
This next film is keeping with the monthly theme of the 4 "I's", which you can read about on the first review of the month, Mr. Nobody. I realize that I took a detour with my review of What Dreams May Come, but I still felt that it fit within my 4 "I's" standards, and it was an interesting representation with the recent death of Robin Williams. Today, I'll be looking at … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Synecdoche, New York
Is Noke really the first Bluetooth padlock?
In case you missed it, I did phrase the title of this post in the form of a question. The reason why is because I was surprised that the FUZ Designs has created the Noke, which is apparently the first Bluetooth padlock. I have seen a lot of Bluetooth products that seem almost counter-intuitive to Bluetooth. I have seen door locks before, but I suppose a padlock is pretty … [Read more...] about Is Noke really the first Bluetooth padlock?
Sharp Aquos new Sprint phone
Sharp Aquos has a new smartphone that they announced today that could start a new standard with smartphones. Why? It has almost no bezel. Seriously, it is a 5-inch 720p edge-to-edge display. My Source seems to compare this science fiction devices, and maybe it is the lack of bezel that does it. This Aquos has Android 4.2.2 KitKat and has a gesture-based screenshot known … [Read more...] about Sharp Aquos new Sprint phone
