For some reason, I seem to be reviewing a lot of adventure games, as The Last Door and Quest for Infamy were on my game playlist. I happened to try out Steve Jackson's Sorcery for the mobile phone platform, and I will say that it is complex as it is interesting. If you don't know who Steve Jackson is, I understand. He is a big name in the role-playing game world, … [Read more...] about Steve Jackson’s Sorcery comes alive on your mobile phone (Chapter 1)

FoxL DASH7 from Soundmatters
In an effort to review every Bluetooth speaker ever made, I had a chance to try out one of the best of them with the FoxL DASH7 from Soundmatters. I have been wanting to review this speaker for a long, long time. If you aren't familiar with the DASH7, it is a very flat Bluetooth speaker that has some of the best sound I have heard for something this 2-D. Okay, it isn't … [Read more...] about FoxL DASH7 from Soundmatters
Spydy Contacts is a great way to help you organize people
Some of you might know that I am currently reorganizing my contacts, and I have discovered how difficult it is to organize people. Especially if you are in the LinkedIn 500+ club. Oh yeah, I'm in it. I had a chance to try out Spydy Contacts, and yes, I believe it is pronounced "Spidey", kind of like Spider-man's nickname. Spydy allows you to upload contacts from several … [Read more...] about Spydy Contacts is a great way to help you organize people
Quest for Infamy, another terrific point-and-click adventure game
Some of you might remember my review of The Last Door last week, and how I liked playing these old-school point-and-click adventure games, even if they had graphics like...The Last Door. I found another game on Steam known as Quest for Infamy which has a lot better resolution and gameplay that is just, if even not more, fun. Quest for Infamy is essentially a … [Read more...] about Quest for Infamy, another terrific point-and-click adventure game
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Doctor Who
This month is starting to become "Speculative Fiction TV Month" as I covered Futurama two weeks ago, and Sherlock one week ago. Yes, I know Sherlock isn't technically Speculative Fiction, but today's subject most certainly is. This is the first time that I have ever brought up Doctor Who on this blog. I'm going to use that "two types of people in the world" intro and say … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Doctor Who
The Neoji, a zen master for the home
I saw an ad the other day where a husband is video-chatting with his wife, and explaining why his sickness kept him from doing the chores. The wife then uses her smartphone to turn on the lights in the house, and there is a party going on behind the husband. Busted! For some reason, I am seeing a trend of devices that allow you to control your home from a smartphone. … [Read more...] about The Neoji, a zen master for the home

The Lite S Android phone from CellAllure
I realize that there is very little I can report on that can top that Kindle Fire Phone with all its 3D magic, but I have a lot of good things to say about the Lite S from CellAllure. Yeah, I know that you might not have heard of CellAllure, like you have heard of Amazon, but I had a chance to try out the Lite S phone for myself, and I can recommend it. The Lite S is a … [Read more...] about The Lite S Android phone from CellAllure
Amazon unveils the Fire Phone with 3D power!
I reported two months ago that Amazon was rumored to be working on a new kind of smartphone, and I knew I was right to report on it, even though it was a rumor. Yesterday, Amazon's big head Jeff Bezos took the stage and announced the Kindle Fire Phone. I will have to say that this phone looks all kind of awesome as it has a 3D display known as Dynamic Perspective. It has … [Read more...] about Amazon unveils the Fire Phone with 3D power!
Hands on with Turtleback Leather and Nylon products
Ever since I saw their products at CES, I have been itching to try them out. I finally had a chance to do so, and I had a chance to try several of their products. I will start with the Real Genuine Black Leather 13.3 inch Laptop Sleeve Bag, made for the Macbook Air 13, Pro 13, and Ultrabooks. This is made with genuine black leather, which is a real bonus for any product … [Read more...] about Hands on with Turtleback Leather and Nylon products
Floating Aqua SunBlast Speaker from Pyle Audio
With summer in full swing where I am at, it is nice to see companies like Pyle Audio coming out with items like the Aqua SunBlast. I've actually seen products like the Aqua SunBlast before, as I recall reviewing an iFrogz product like it many years ago. The SunBlast is a floating ball that is also a Bluetooth speaker that has a 32 foot range. What makes it different from … [Read more...] about Floating Aqua SunBlast Speaker from Pyle Audio
A Review of the Fluance Fi30
As someone who has reviewed a lot of Bluetooth speakers for this blog, I will have to say that a lot of them are good, but the Fluance Fi30 is really good. I'm not certain why the sound is so good, but it be because of the high quality wooden cabinet design. Apparently, the grade MDF wood can suppress resonance for "accurate response and increased warmth". Then there is … [Read more...] about A Review of the Fluance Fi30
The Last Door by The Game Kitchen
I'm going to be reviewing two new point-and-click games that I found on Steam, and I will start with The Last Door. If you aren't familiar with point-and-click adventures, they are from the eighties and aren't really made much for the big three consoles. The Last Door is interesting because it was a crowdfunded project, and it brings back that era when imagination was … [Read more...] about The Last Door by The Game Kitchen
Inspire Vivid Sport Earphones from yurbuds
I always like reviewing any yurbuds products, as I reviewed the Signature Series Sport Earbuds last year. If you are not familiar with them, then you should know their unique style. The yurbuds has this twist lock technology that allows them to be tight in your ear and yet not hurt at all. This is because they are "developed by Athletes", and the company has many … [Read more...] about Inspire Vivid Sport Earphones from yurbuds
The HiFiMAN HM-700 Portable Player and RE-600 Songbird In-ear Monitor
I had a chance to try out some of HiFiMAN's products over the weekend, and I'm going to have to say that I have tried them before. I'll go ahead and start with the HM-700, a portable media player that seems out of place in a world not made for portable media players anymore. In fact, the HM-700 reminds me of the days when the iPod Classic was in bloom. I mean, the … [Read more...] about The HiFiMAN HM-700 Portable Player and RE-600 Songbird In-ear Monitor
