I would imagine that there is some medical term for those who are addicted to the Internet, and I am not certain how many people in my own household would be diagnosed with it. For those that believe they are Net-addicts, there is now Skeebloo. So, what is Skeebloo? Well, it is an application that blocks the Internet. How does it do that? Well, it has LAN/Internet … [Read more...] about Skeebloo, an application for Internet addicts

It looks like we are in another Part 2, which means that I am reviewing more than one type of product that has been sent to me. In this case, it is the Concord Keystone owned company VidaDoo, and these two products I am reviewing today are wine-related. I'll start with the Rechargeable Electric Wine Opener. This is essentially a wine opener that is electric to bore … [Read more...] about VidaDoo Part 2: Rechargeable Electric Wine Opener and Tabletop Chiller
Night Trap returns, this time for the Nintendo
Well, Kickstarter is often a place to get crowdfunding for games, and I suppose it was only a matter of time before Night Trap was revived. If you aren't familiar with Night Trap, it was a very controversial game of its time due to its violence. Actually, one of the only violent scenes is at the beginning, when a woman is attacked in the shower by blood-sucking zombies. … [Read more...] about Night Trap returns, this time for the Nintendo
VidaDoo Review, Part 1: The Rechargeable Portable LED Work Light
I had a chance to work with Concord Keystone Trading with their VidaDoo products, and I am now reviewing...a flashlight. Okay, its official title is Portable LED Work Light, and even though most would call it a flashlight, it is so much more. This is a flashlight that you charge using the included AC Adaptor. It has a work-light on the side and then a flashlight on the … [Read more...] about VidaDoo Review, Part 1: The Rechargeable Portable LED Work Light
Nike unveils a LED basketball court in China
What you are about to see in this video could be the future of sports. If you think that all the product plugs and advertisements are over-abundant now, you should see a basketball floor that is one big LED screen. This wasn't used on an actual basketball game, but a training in China hosted by the one-and-only Kobe Bryant. You can see that the floor can follow a player, … [Read more...] about Nike unveils a LED basketball court in China

Speculative Fiction Saturday: What Dreams May Come
I realize that talking about this film is a departure from my theme this month. That is, the theme of 4 i's (independent, innovative, inconsistent, and in-compassing a lifetime). What Dreams May Come is probably not an independent film, but it is quite innovative, quite inconsistent, and it does encompass a life. And yes, the only reason why I'm reviewing this film now is … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: What Dreams May Come
BioSports Earbuds, a Fitness Tracker that needs no batteries
SMS Audio recently partnered with Intel in order to create the BioSport In-Ear headphones. Why Intel inside? Because these headphones can do what a fitness band can do, but without charging. Somehow these headphones can track the user's heart rate. It can also take this information and pass it through the audio jack and pass it through a smartphone to be used on an app … [Read more...] about BioSports Earbuds, a Fitness Tracker that needs no batteries
Gauge by Neko Entertainement, a game of wits?
I've been reviewing a lot of games on Steam lately, and most of them have been RPG or turn-based games such as Quest for Infamy or Heroes and Legends: Commanders of Kolhar. This game Gauge was not at all what I expected. I've already talked about the simplicity of mobile games in my review of Disney's Tsum Tsum. It's very interesting to see how the mobile revolution has … [Read more...] about Gauge by Neko Entertainement, a game of wits?
Spigen makes iPhone 6 cases readily available
If there is one company that usually knows how to keep secrets before its release, it is Apple. They are going to announce the new version of the iPhone early next month, and generally I'm constantly trying to see if the cases of the predecessor will fit the latest model. A Korean company known as Spigen says that they have the latest version of the iPhone's cover with … [Read more...] about Spigen makes iPhone 6 cases readily available
Samsung unveils the Galaxy Alpha
The Galaxy S series might have some...friendly rivalry, as Samsung has revealed its newest smartphone, the Alpha. I will say that I like the new aesthetic with the metal frame as well as a soft back cover. The metallic construction is the biggest new feature. Another possibly new feature is an octa-core which is a quad 1.8GHz and quad 1.3GHz or quad-core 2.5GHz … [Read more...] about Samsung unveils the Galaxy Alpha
The Om One Orb Levitating Speaker
Every once in a while, I get something in my Inbox that I just have to report on. Today, it is the Om One Orb Levitating Speaker. After all, how can I resist a speaker that floats? As you might have expected, the trick is done with some magnets. Not only will the magnets keep the spherical speaker hovering, but it is the way that the speaker charges. That's right, you … [Read more...] about The Om One Orb Levitating Speaker
Henge Docks Gravitas iPhone and iPad Stand
Some of you might remember my review of another Henge Dock product yesterday with the Vertical Docking Station. Today, I am fortunate to review another cool Henge Dock product with the Gravitas. For those of you who are not familiar with the namesake, Gravitas means "weight, seriousness, and dignity". For some reason, I remember this word was a buzzword in a recent … [Read more...] about Henge Docks Gravitas iPhone and iPad Stand
Olloclip 4-in-1 iPad Photo Lens
Most of you regular readers know that I have reviewed Olloclip products before. I have reviewed the Macro 3-in-1 photo lens for the iPhone 5, the 4-in-1 iPhone lens, and the Quick-Flip Case. I gave all of these products high marks for what they do, and so I cannot help but give praise to the 4-in-1 Photo Lens for the iPad. Like most Olloclip products, this is made for … [Read more...] about Olloclip 4-in-1 iPad Photo Lens
Henge Docks Vertical Docking Station for the MacBook Pro with Retina Display
You have to admire the company Henge Docks, and how they are well-prepared for those who have a MacBook Pro. Chances are, if you have a MacBook Pro, you use it to interact with another laptop, desktop, or even a home theater. Of course, if you do that, then you are going to have some serious cable clutter. That is, unless you get the Vertical Docking Station. This … [Read more...] about Henge Docks Vertical Docking Station for the MacBook Pro with Retina Display
