Normally, I don't show the packaging for the products that I review, but I couldn't resist this one. I realize that I am a day late for Throwback Thursday, but this packaging for this Jam Rewind Wireless Pocket Speaker looks just like an old-school cassette. Yes, we have come a long way since cassette tape was the way to listen to our tunes. That sound was, in … [Read more...] about The Jam Rewind Wireless Pocket Speaker

Check out LG’s Flexible 18-inch Display
Well, this is one time where words fail me, which is why I often just put a video here and just let the readers love it. This is exactly what you thinking it is: a bendable screen. This footage comes to us from LG, and it is an 18-inch OLED display. It has a resolution of 1200 x 910, and someone can just roll it up. Is this the way of televisions? Considering those … [Read more...] about Check out LG’s Flexible 18-inch Display
Review of Heroes and Legends: Conquerors of Kolhar
It seems like I am doing a lot of reviews of Steam Games, and this one from Phoenix Online is a lot better than I thought. Heroes and Legends: Conquerors of Kolhar might not be tied with any franchise that you have heard of, but I will be danged if the gameplay didn't draw me in. I'm not certain how to describe it, but it is mostly a Role-Playing Game, but with more … [Read more...] about Review of Heroes and Legends: Conquerors of Kolhar

The Vision Protective Shield from Konnet Care is one of these products. The Vision Protective Shield stops a problem that you probably didn't know that you had. According to the official site: "numerous neuron research had evidently … [Read more...] about Vision Protective Shield from Konnet Care
Simplehuman Part 2: The Sensor Mirror
Now that I wrote about the Rechargeable Sensor Pump yesterday, I figure that I can cover another home accessory from Simplehuman, the Sensor Mirror. The Sensor Mirror is made of stainless steel, and it feels at home in any type of room. In front of the mirror is a sensor that will turn the ring of light on if you step in front of it, and yet somehow knows when to shut … [Read more...] about Simplehuman Part 2: The Sensor Mirror
Tech Armor Samsung Galaxy S5 FlexProtect Case and HD Clear Screen Protector
I mentioned that Tech Armor produces some very thin cases for the iPhone 5, and I had a chance to try out the FlexProtect Case for the Galaxy S5, as well as the HD Clear Screen Protector. There isn't really much that I can say about the FlexProtect Case for the Galaxy S5, other than the fact that it is the thinnest that I have ever seen. Sure, I have already said that … [Read more...] about Tech Armor Samsung Galaxy S5 FlexProtect Case and HD Clear Screen Protector

iSwimband is a way to keep kids safe from drowning
Much of the time when I report on a gadget, it is because I encountered a situation where I needed it. For example, I was at the pool the other day with my kids, and since I have three, I have to keep track of them off and on. My third kid was playing in the shallow end, and I wanted to check in on him to make certain he wasn't getting in any trouble. If I had the … [Read more...] about iSwimband is a way to keep kids safe from drowning
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Time Bandits, and other Terry Gilliam films
I've looked at a lot of the speculative fiction films of Terry Gilliam, and I guess I should probably talk about the one that "started it all", Time Bandits. I am leaving out his Monty Python history, not to mention Monty Python and the Holy Grail, which some consider one of the funniest films of all time. Time Bandits is a film that looks like it could be targeted to … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Time Bandits, and other Terry Gilliam films

In case you are not aware, there is a big comic-book convention going on in San Diego known as Comic-con. It is a huge gathering for almost everything comic-book related, and for some reason, all the movies and TV related things show up as well. ThinkGeek is having a special today on something Star Wars related, the R2-D9. So what is the R2-D9?

Tech Armor iPhone 5 Case is the Thinnest
Every since the iPhone 4 had that defect that required a case to get it to work right, the iPhone case business has been thriving. Of course, most iPhone cases look just the same, but the Tech Armor has one unique feature: it is the thinnest. At least, this is what the company says. I have no idea how true that is, but I had a chance to try it out for myself, and it … [Read more...] about Tech Armor iPhone 5 Case is the Thinnest
Capture video in 360 degrees with the V.360 from VSN Mobil
The one thing that I have been looking forward to since last year is the Geonaute camera, which I first saw at CES in 2013 (yes, last year) and still haven't seen available for anything but pre-launch. The Geonaute has what I thought was a unique ability to shoot in 360 degrees, but it looks like VSN Mobil is going to get in on what will probably be a growing market with the … [Read more...] about Capture video in 360 degrees with the V.360 from VSN Mobil
Fugoo Sport Bluetooth Speaker
I've been fortunate enough to review another Bluetooth speaker, this time, it is the Fugoo Sport. I would definitely say that it is the speaker for the summer. For example, if you want to plop this speaker in the sand and listen to your tunes on the beach, the Fugoo Sport is the Speaker of choice. It is also designed to stand up to snow, dirt, and a little water as well. … [Read more...] about Fugoo Sport Bluetooth Speaker
