Some of you might remember my review of the Topcor Tech Wallet, and I will have to say that it is a benefit to have a wallet that you can just rip off from the back of your phone. In the same manner, the Armband is a very simple way of affixing your phone to your arm. In this case, it works with a little application of Velcro. Actually, I have been informed that the … [Read more...] about TopCor Sport Armband

Speculative Fiction Saturday: Pacific Rim, just see it.
This summer was pretty bad for films. Granted, there were some pretty big films like Star Trek: Into Darkness and The Man of Steel, but these films contained very little originality and were the usual franchise offerings. I have decided that next summer I will only see one film, and it will be the one that isn't based on a franchise. If I had this summer to live over again, I … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Pacific Rim, just see it.
Livin’ on the M-EDGE, Part Two: Trina Turk and the Loot
Even though I just covered the Universal StealthPro Keyboard Folio, now I am about to go into other M-EDGE products. I am going to start with two products both designed by Trina Turk. I am not certain who Trina Turk is. Every once in a while, I see mobile phone accessories designed by some famous designer, and I always feel kind of dumb asking who it is. From what I have … [Read more...] about Livin’ on the M-EDGE, Part Two: Trina Turk and the Loot
See Nokia’s Wacky Smartwatch, the Facet!
One of the problems with smartwatches is the screen is so very small. What if there was a way to make the screen bigger? Well, you don't want to just put a tablet on your wrist, but many small screens that surround your wrist! This is Nokia's Facet, and you can watch the video to see six screens. They are all tied together with some weird elastic band that allows them to … [Read more...] about See Nokia’s Wacky Smartwatch, the Facet!
Livin’ on the M-EDGE, Part One: The Universal StealthPro Keyboard Folio
I have seen a lot of terrific M-EDGE products in the past, and I am pleased to review more of them, starting with the Universal StealthPro Keyboard Foio. Made for 10 inch tablets that include all versions of the iPad, the Galaxy Note 10.1, the Google Nexus, and the Kindle Fire HD 8.9. It has these bands on all of its four corners to hold whatever tablet that you can fit in … [Read more...] about Livin’ on the M-EDGE, Part One: The Universal StealthPro Keyboard Folio
The Sky Wi-Fi Smartpen from Livescribe
I have reviewed a lot of smartpens in my time, and I feel they are designed for those who want to combine old-school with digital. The Sky Wi-Fi Smartpen is one of them, and I had a chance to try it out. The first step to this smartpen is that you have to set up an account. From there, you can set it up with your Wi-Fi account to do all of its tricks. When I say … [Read more...] about The Sky Wi-Fi Smartpen from Livescribe

Okay, I don’t like the new Yahoo Mail
The other day I opened up my email on Yahoo and discovered that it had changed. Some times, change is good, but I believe that it is bad in this case. Since I have this blog, I am going to use it to say how much I detest the changes. First, the tab portion is gone. It used to be that I could look at emails that I had written in the past by doing a search, and I could … [Read more...] about Okay, I don’t like the new Yahoo Mail
Jabra is sticking with a Classic
Yes, I love writing about Jabra products, and it is one of the companies that you just associated with Bluetooth headsets, sort of like Jawbone and Blue Ant. This is a Classic. I realize that Classic usually means old, like Coca-Cola Classic, and I will have to say that this one is rather new. I don't know how new, but it is your pretty standard Bluetooth headset. Yes, … [Read more...] about Jabra is sticking with a Classic
Kensington’s SecureBack Case and Lock for the iPad
I have reported on Kensington's products before, most recently, the Hard Shell iPad Keyboard. I highly recommend Kensington for many occasions, as I have one of their laptop locks on my laptop, just to make sure it doesn't get stolen when I work in a public place like a library or coffee shop. Kensington's SecureBack is made for protecting in iPad in the same conditions as … [Read more...] about Kensington’s SecureBack Case and Lock for the iPad
The CODE and LGND cases for the iPhone 5, from Incipio!
In keeping with the Incipio reviews that I have been doing since...yesterday, it is time to do two more iPhone cases, the CODE and the LGND. I'll go ahead and start with the CODE. I am not certain why it is called that. Perhaps the hexagonal pattern that you see there is some sort of code to...nah, I'm going to abandon that bit. Anyway, the CODE is made of Plextonium, which … [Read more...] about The CODE and LGND cases for the iPhone 5, from Incipio!
RCA Mobile TV Tablet
While trying to establish my contacts before the holidays, I decided to check in at someone at RCA. As it turns out, RCA has been defunct for years, but the brand name is still being used. I missed this announcement at CES last January, and I find this odd, because I just registered for CES 2014 today. Coincidentally enough, RCA is planning on launching their RCA Mobile … [Read more...] about RCA Mobile TV Tablet
The iPhone 5 Hydra Series Case from Ballistic
I believe that I have recommended Going Ballistic on your mobile device before, or Otterbox, or Lifeproof, or Incipio. Yeah, I have said this a lot, and I'm not even going to put in hyperlinks. So much so, I kind of know the drill for these products. They are required to face the four trials of life like dust, dirt, water, and shock. Usually, it is a matter of how long they … [Read more...] about The iPhone 5 Hydra Series Case from Ballistic
DualPro SHINE for the iPhone 5C by Incipio
I'm going to be reviewing a few more Incipio products this week, and the DualPro SHINE is for the iPhone 5C. I'm sure I'll be reviewing other iPhone 5C products before the holidays are over. The DualPro Shine is a sequel to the DualPro, which I reviewed around CES. The DualPro SHINE is a protective case with this Plextonium outer shell as well as a dLAST interior. … [Read more...] about DualPro SHINE for the iPhone 5C by Incipio
MusicInk allows you to play a piece of paper
What you are seeing in this video is the MusicInk, an it is quite interesting. I highly suggest watching it so you can see something that is difficult to describe. This is how it works. You can use the MusicInk to paint something, and then connect it to an Arduino Duemilanove board and Sparkfun MPR121 controller. After the MusicInk has dried, you can play it like notes. … [Read more...] about MusicInk allows you to play a piece of paper
