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
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Sherlock (not exactly speculative, but oh so good)
Yes, I will admit that I am bringing up Sherlock on Speculative Fiction Saturday because I like talking about it. This is a show that I really thought was going to be just awful, due to its premise alone. The show is about Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, but they are in our modern day era. Just to let you know, this Sherlock Holmes is from BBC. There is a similar show … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Sherlock (not exactly speculative, but oh so good)
Big Announcements for E3 2014
Okay, if you aren't familiar with video games, there is a big convention in LA every year known as E3. We at TheGeekChurch.com haven't been for a few years. By we, I mean me. However, I like to make certain that my readers know what's up with video games, so here's the skinny for the big three this year. Nintendo: I know that I have said that this company's days are … [Read more...] about Big Announcements for E3 2014
Hands on with the Ventev Powercase 2000, Powercell 6000, Glide, and Toughglass
I have talked about Ventev products before, and I had a chance to review many of them again. Let me start by saying that I highly recommend them, simply because everyone needs accessories, and you might as well use their signature orange and gray style. I'll go ahead and start with the Powercase 2000. In case you are wondering why the 2000 is tacked on the end of this … [Read more...] about Hands on with the Ventev Powercase 2000, Powercell 6000, Glide, and Toughglass
Samsung to make a foldable tablet by next year
I should probably give this a subtitle of: "Next year says that 'I'll believe it when I see it'." I have heard about this foldable display technology before, and it looks like Samsung is planning to release one this next year. Sadly, this is only one of those rumors, but I just like the idea of a foldable display. The rumor is that the foldable display will have three … [Read more...] about Samsung to make a foldable tablet by next year
The Link 5200i and Extreme 10,000 Duo from iWalk
I've been wanting to review iWalk products for a while, and I finally got a chance with two new products, the Link 5200i and 10,000 Duo. I'll go ahead and start with the Link 5200i, which is made for iPhone 5 and other Apple products with a Lightning connector. Not only does it have a 5200mAh backup battery, but there is a USB out port. This way you can charge two … [Read more...] about The Link 5200i and Extreme 10,000 Duo from iWalk
PUC wireless MIDI instrument for iDevices
I have said before that I often review products that I am not the intended audience for. For example, the iRig Pro from IKMultimedia was an audio MIDI interface, and I don't really use MIDI much. However, for those who are really into MIDI, you might enjoy the PUC from Zivix. I'm not certain if the PUC stands for anything, but it might just be some shortened word for … [Read more...] about PUC wireless MIDI instrument for iDevices
The iB85 Wireless Headphones from iHome
Today, I'm going to end my iHome week as I will be reviewing my last iHome product, at least for now. Today, it will be the iB85 wireless headphones. The iB85 have wireless capability with a range of 30 feet. Like all wireless headphones these days, it has a built-in microphone so you can take your phone calls in case someone calls while you're listening to music on your … [Read more...] about The iB85 Wireless Headphones from iHome

It isn't often that I review vacuum cleaners here on this blog, and I haven't done a hands-on review of this one, yet. This is the AirRAM from Gtech, and it is about to make you love vacuuming. The AirRAM has special brush bars to collect dirt, dust, and pet hair. In case you are wondering what is missing, the answer is a bag. All the debris is caught up in a small … [Read more...] about The AirRAM Vacuum Cleaner from Gtech
The iDL46 Lightning Docking Station from iHome
It looks like iHome week continues here at TheGeekChurch.com, as I'm going to review something that I haven't seen in a while, an iPod dock, the iDL46. Oh man, does that bring me back to the days of the iPod Classic! In case you need a reminder for what an iPod dock is, it is essentially a stereo speaker where you plug in the iPod on top and the base acts as a speaker. … [Read more...] about The iDL46 Lightning Docking Station from iHome
BlueAnt introduces the Pump HD Sportbuds
You might remember from my review of the last iHome product that I have been noticing a trend in consumer products where one will look like the other. Lately, it has been wireless earbuds made for fitness people, the ones that wrap around the the neck. It should be no surprise that BlueAnt came out with a pair of their own fitness wireless sportbuds, which I am guessing that … [Read more...] about BlueAnt introduces the Pump HD Sportbuds
