Bosco Verticale under construction
I am always interested in projects that are environmentally sound and have sustainable power involved, and this Bosco Verticale could set a standard. According to my Source, "this building will help balance the microclimate and in filtering the dust particles contained in the urban environment, especially with Milan being one of the most polluted cities in Europe". I … [Read more...] about Bosco Verticale under construction
2013: A Year in Tech
Well, the year has almost ended, and I thought I would take the time out to talk about what impacted us the most this year. This is not going to be in any particular order, so don't interpret this as a "Top Ten" list. No More Woof, simply because it is so very interesting. Perhaps I should nominate it as my crowdfunded project of the year. It was definitely the year … [Read more...] about 2013: A Year in Tech
My Review of Lego Marvel Heroes
Unlike my last review of the Golf-X-Cube, I actually have a lot of experience playing LEGO-oriented video games. In fact, I have everyone that they have made since the first LEGO Star Wars, and I love them a lot, even though they have changed very little since their conception. For those that are not familiar with them, the LEGO games are usually tied in with a popular … [Read more...] about My Review of Lego Marvel Heroes
Golf-X-Cube will help improve your game
I'm going to start this review and say that I am probably not the audience that would want this product. I think we all know that people who golf are like those who like Doctor Who. that is, you have heard about it, but don't want to get into it, and might not understand those who are into it. I am the type who has heard of golf, never saw any need to get into it. Since … [Read more...] about Golf-X-Cube will help improve your game
Speculative Fiction Saturday: S1m0ne
In case you are wondering, I believe that the proper pronunciation of this film's title, is "Simone", like the name. This isn't the name of the film's main character, because the Simone character in this film isn't real. Besides, Al Pacino is over the title, so you know he's the main character. Okay, I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me get to the plotline of this film. … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: S1m0ne
The ChargeKey by Nomad
I am pretty familiar with the Chargecard. I first saw it at CES 2013, and I believe it was nothing more than a Kickstarter project then. I am pleased to see that it has now developed into the ChargeKey, which works for the iPhone 5/5S/5C, Lightning iPad, and iPad Mini. The ChargeKey, as its name suggests, is about the size of a key. It is a charging cord, and it is not … [Read more...] about The ChargeKey by Nomad
LG and Sony planning to unveil smartwatches?
Even though I was against smartwatches before, I am now starting to like them since my review of the Galaxy Gear. I have been hearing for a while that Apple is working on it own version of the smartwatch, and here is a another surprise, LG and Sony are apparently working on smartwatches as well. The one that LG is working on could be the G Arch, and it could be related to … [Read more...] about LG and Sony planning to unveil smartwatches?
Cubli robot cube can “jump, balance, and walk”
Okay, the Cubli is definitely the Christmas gift that you didn't get yesterday, but you probably can't buy it now. I put a video of the Cubli here because it is just very cool. Developed by researchers at ETH Zurich's Institute Systems and Control, it has three spinning motors that will spin in order to gain some kind of angular momentum for balance. I believe that there … [Read more...] about Cubli robot cube can “jump, balance, and walk”
Grippity Android tablet allows double-sided control
Grippity Doo-Dah, Grippity Ay! My oh my, what a way to input your...okay, this intro isn't working. However, I like the Grippity, which is an Android tablet which stands out from all the other Android tablets out there. Considering all the other Android tablets out there, that is saying a lot. You see, the Grippity has double control thanks to a back control. The … [Read more...] about Grippity Android tablet allows double-sided control
Holiday list for Christmas 2013
Today's post, and only post for the holidays, will be simply a summary of things you can buy for the holiday. It is made for those last-minute shoppers, or for those who did their shopping too late. They are in the order of when I reviewed. For those that want a new phone, Galaxy S Note 3! I like that Galaxy S IV, too. You might want to hold it with an Armpocket … [Read more...] about Holiday list for Christmas 2013
Up comes alive with No More Woof
Okay, lately the Disney channel has been showing Up, and I highly recommend watching this surreal flick if you haven't seen it yet. The film has just enough unbelievability, but not so much that it alienates the viewer. I know that the main character's house could probably not be held aloft by that number of balloons, but I'm willing to pardon that. What I enjoy is when the … [Read more...] about Up comes alive with No More Woof
Optimus Popularis Keyboard: A keyboard of screens
If you have never heard of Art Lebedev, then you really should have. His company, or studio, has put out a lot of cool stuff, and this includes the Optimus Maximus. I first saw the Maximus years ago, and it is essentially a keyboard where each key is a programmable screen. That's right, I am talking about a keyboard full of screens. There are about 77 keys that are … [Read more...] about Optimus Popularis Keyboard: A keyboard of screens
BMW creates a new Key Fob standard
BMW is putting out a hybrid car known as the i8, and it plans to be quite a car. So what better for a better-than-average car than a way-better-than-average key fob? The Key Fob for this car has a hug resemblance to a smartphone. Not only it will enable the user to open the doors, trunk, and everything else key fobs do, but this has an LCD display. This display will … [Read more...] about BMW creates a new Key Fob standard
Samsung to unveil the largest curved screen at CES 2014
For some reason, there appears to be some odd trend towards curved screens. In smartphones, LG has the Flex, and Samsung has the GALAXY ROUND. I suppose that it just makes sense to have televisions with curved screens, and Samsung has them. At least, they will have one at CES 2014. If you aren't familiar with CES, it is a big electronics trade show that happens every … [Read more...] about Samsung to unveil the largest curved screen at CES 2014
