Okay, if everything went right, you should be seeing a video of me two weeks ago at PAXPrime, when I first had a chance to try out the Oculus Rift. If you don't know what the Oculus Rift is, don't feel too bad. I have written about it many times on this blog, and so if you just enter in "Oculus Rift" in the Search engine, you'll find at least three articles about it this … [Read more...] about How I love me that Oculus Rift, and what games are coming
Tech Reviews
Motion Display Checkout Divider
I said three days ago that Apple's Pay could change everything, and it certainly has the potential to change the way we pay via smartphone. Now here's another device that could change the way we pay. You know that plastic bar that you use in the grocery store? The one that blocks other person's load of groceries so you don't pay for his or her stuff? Well, imagine that … [Read more...] about Motion Display Checkout Divider
Fantasia: Music Evolved game coming to the Kinect
As I talked about with the death of the iPod Classic, it seems like every tech era comes to an end. Take the Age of Music gaming, which probably came to a close this year with the end of Music hero downloads. I believe that Disney and Harmonix intend to bring music gaming back with Fantasia: Music Involved. I had a chance to play this game at PAXPrime 2014, and as far as … [Read more...] about Fantasia: Music Evolved game coming to the Kinect
A Second look at the Une Bobine
I'm going to just out and say that I have reviewed this product before, and you can read that one here. However, in the light of Apple's new announcement, which I will be talking about for a while now. I suppose that the newest version of the iPhone will not require a new charger, because they didn't change the connector port like they did when they went from iPhone 4 to … [Read more...] about A Second look at the Une Bobine
The iPod Classic says Good-bye
"One life ends, another begins". Yeah, I took that from Avatar, and I definitely think that it applies to Apple. I'm guessing that the company made one of their big announcements ever with the Apple Watch. Lest we forget that Apple was having its own troubles, but much of that changed when the iPod hit the market. Remember how this invention changed...everything? Yeah, … [Read more...] about The iPod Classic says Good-bye
Olloclip is now for the Galaxy S phones now!
I think you all know that I love me some Olloclip products. It seems like whenever I think I have seen it all from them, something new comes my way. In this case, this might be the first one for a non-Apple product that I have reviewed. In fact, it is for the Galaxy S5, which is now my personal smartphone. The Olloclip for the Samsung Galaxy S5 is a terrific way of … [Read more...] about Olloclip is now for the Galaxy S phones now!
Skech Crystal cover for the iPhone 6
Well, after all the excitement over the Apple announcement of the iPhone 6, amongst other things, it stands to reason that I would be writing about accessories sooner or later. I'm surprised that I have an accessory before I can have access to the actual product. The Crystal case for the iPhone 6 is totally transparent, but it has a "dual material combination" even though … [Read more...] about Skech Crystal cover for the iPhone 6
Reassembly, a video game where you build spaceships
As I mentioned in my last review of Drew and the Floating Labyrinth is PAX month, and so I will report about games that perhaps you have not heard about. The game Reassembly from Indie Voyage is one of them. Reassembly is a game that is a mix of old-school and "current school" gaming. You know how Minecraft allows its users to build a world with 1 x 1 blocks? In … [Read more...] about Reassembly, a video game where you build spaceships
What Apple announced today
We all knew that Apple was going to announce something big today on September 9th, and we thought it was going to be the new iPhone and the iWatch. So what did they announce? It started off with Apple saying they had lots of products (plural) to report, and while they had a new smartphone and smartwatch, it was not quite what expected. Apple began with the new version of … [Read more...] about What Apple announced today
Drew and the Floating Labyrinth, a game with invisible levels
I suppose that I could call September "PAX month", because I will be covering all kinds of video games that I learned about at PAXPrime last week. I intend to spend each day covering at least one type of gaming-related article, and much of the source material will be something that I learned at PAXPrime 2014. Today, it is Drew and the Floating Labyrinth. If you haven't … [Read more...] about Drew and the Floating Labyrinth, a game with invisible levels
The Polo Book for the Samsung Galaxy S5 by SKECH
I have reviewed a lot of SKECH products before, such as the Skechbook for the iPad Mini. I have also reviewed many products that are essentially folio cases/wallets for the smartphone, like the QCard Case. Okay, enough of the whole "I've reviewed products like these before" intro, let's just get to the product: the Polo Book from Skech. I had a chance to try out the … [Read more...] about The Polo Book for the Samsung Galaxy S5 by SKECH
LifeCHARGE InAir Battery Case with Wireless Charging for the iPhone 5/5S
It seems like I have reviewed a lot of LifeCHARGE products, and the last one was the ZEAL made for the iPhone 5C. I'm not certain what the lifespan is for the iPhone 5C, not to mention the iPhone 5/5S as of next week. However, if you are looking for a battery/cover for the iPhone 5/5S, I would recommend the LifeCHARGE InAir for the iPhone 5/5S. This is one of those … [Read more...] about LifeCHARGE InAir Battery Case with Wireless Charging for the iPhone 5/5S
X-mini MAX Capsule Speakers
Here's a funny story. X-mini sent me two products to review: the We Thumbsize Bluetooth Speaker and the MAX Capsule speakers. I was out of town for a little while, and I didn't see the latter until later. Needless to say, I am quite glad that I got the chance to try these out. The MAX do not use Bluetooth, but you can easily plug them into anything with a 3.5mm … [Read more...] about X-mini MAX Capsule Speakers
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Generator Rex
I finished last month's line of films with my theme of weird independent films, so I'm not really certain what theme I want to go with this time. I suppose that I could talk about my favorite animated speculative fiction shows, but I have to admit that Generator Rex would not make this list. I remember the first day that I turned it on and watched it. It is weird to … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Generator Rex
Speck Candyshell Inked Cases, Amped Cases, and DuraFolio Case for the iPad Air
I have reviewed a lot of Speck products before, and I was able to get a hold of a few so I can do this next review. I'm going to start with the Candyshell Inked case. I have actually reviewed the Candyshell Grip Case, and it is a scratch resistant case with military grade protection. There are no rubberized grips on the Inked, but there are high resolution graphics. … [Read more...] about Speck Candyshell Inked Cases, Amped Cases, and DuraFolio Case for the iPad Air
