I have always wondered why we haven't become a holographic society, like what we have seen in speculative fiction films like Star Wars and the like. The Litholo Hologram Kit could be a start of a new era. The Litholo Hologram Kit enables a user to create full-color holograms in such a way that is not as expensive as most that you see. I'm pretty certain that the hologram … [Read more...] about Litholo Hologram Kit, for making full-color holograms at home!

A smartphone, that can be worn as a watch, is in Limbo
Yes, I did just get finished talking about how Microsoft might be working on a smartwatch, and now I am going to talk about another possible smartwatch, the Limbo. This Limbo smartwatch is very interesting because it is somewhat flexible, so it will fit on a wrist. All I can say is that this is brilliant. It is designed by Jaebyun Yeon, who I consider to be a genius. … [Read more...] about A smartphone, that can be worn as a watch, is in Limbo
KickShot: Soccer as a board game
I am not certain why Americans have never really embraced football, and I mean soccer. Fortunately, we are making up for it by having soccer teams for our kids. KickShot is a game that brings soccer indoors, and even though it can be played by children, it is engaging for adults as well. The game is set up with a board that looks like a soccer field, and a small soccer … [Read more...] about KickShot: Soccer as a board game
Microsoft working on a smartwatch?
I have been hearing a lot of talk about smartwatches these days, and I think it has to do with the rumored iWatch. Yeah, if Apple is going to try and create another market, there is bound to be some imitators. Yes, this is the Microscoft version of the iWatch, so I guess we could call it the Zune Watch. I believe the Xbox team was working on this, and now the Surface … [Read more...] about Microsoft working on a smartwatch?
Lernstift is a pen that can correct your writing
Okay, considering the proliferation of computers, smartphones, and tablets, does anyone even use pen and paper anymore. I don't need to sound like the lone writer here, but I have been known to do the first drafts of my writing with pen and paper because it is very, very relaxing. I generally don't worry about making errors at that point, but imagine if a pen could warn you … [Read more...] about Lernstift is a pen that can correct your writing
My Review of Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11S Convertible Ultrabook
There seems to be a phenomenon with Ultrabooks, and I like how this IdeaPad Yoga 11S has four different modes. I like the symbols for this with a Laptop, Tablet, Tent, and the Stand. If those symbols confuse you, just imagine them in the shapes that you see there. I like something that can be a laptop and a tablet all at once. That whole tent mode is really interesting, and … [Read more...] about My Review of Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11S Convertible Ultrabook
TYLT Capio w/NFC Universal Smartphone Car Mount
I have reviewed products form TYLT before, most recently, the Vu Wireless Charger. The company is very good at the accessories that it creates, and they have truly responded to customers' needs with the Capio Universal Car Mount with NFC. There are a lot of Car Mounts, and one of the things that keeps them from being Universal is that smartphone and other cellular phones … [Read more...] about TYLT Capio w/NFC Universal Smartphone Car Mount
The Epic from the Celluon Store lives up to its namesake
I have heard the use of the word "epic" a lot lately, and this word is really overused now. I mean, there is a movie out this summer with that title of Epic, and it looks completely the opposite of epic. I consider the word epic to describe the hero's journey, like Star Wars, The Matrix, or Lord of the Rings. The funny thing is that I believe that the Epic by Celluon is … [Read more...] about The Epic from the Celluon Store lives up to its namesake
Eagle Trilogy, Part 4: ET-NP056-K Portable Battery Pack
Some of you might remember my Eagle Trilogy. I have been fortunate enough to review yet another Eagle product, which means that I am on the fourth in this trilogy. Yeah, a trilogy usually ends at three, but I have seen so many films designed as trilogies have more films then they really should have. Eagle has produced some really great products like the Foldable … [Read more...] about Eagle Trilogy, Part 4: ET-NP056-K Portable Battery Pack
Atlas human powered helicopter breaks an aviation record
Just to let you know, I don't exactly get inspiration for articles with a fax by God. I will be honest when I say that most of the time, I just talk about whatever the heck seems interesting when I read it. In this case, I saw something that I thought looked interesting, and so I did a search on "Atlas". I found my last two articles had "Atlas" in the title, so I just sort … [Read more...] about Atlas human powered helicopter breaks an aviation record
Speculative Fiction Friday: Cloud Atlas
I have mentioned several times on Speculative Fiction Friday that I am very tired of excellent films being ignored due to the amount of speculative fiction elements in them like Big Fish and today's film, Cloud Atlas. Today, I realized that my mother will never enjoy some of my favorite films because they have been slapped with the sci-fi/fantasy label. However, I think … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Friday: Cloud Atlas
DARPA’s Atlas is “the World’s Most Advanced Humanoid Robot”
It really is amazing how we are growing closer and closer to a science fiction age of robots. Thanks to DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), we are seeing a hug swell of militant robots. Just watch the video if you want to see what I mean. Man, they got these robots that can walk like people, and they can even do stairs as well. What really makes it … [Read more...] about DARPA’s Atlas is “the World’s Most Advanced Humanoid Robot”
Nokia Annouces the Lumia 1020
Of course, I need to report on the biggest tech news for the day, and today it came from everyone's favorite Finnish company, Nokia. Yes, the Lumia 1020 is a pretty big deal, and they had a special event in New York to announce it. The biggest feature is that it can shoot pictures in 41 Megapixels. Yeah, what is with Windows 8 phones having really super advanced cameras? … [Read more...] about Nokia Annouces the Lumia 1020
ERO Concrete-Recycling Robot
When I first saw this ERO Concrete Recycling robot, I thought this was the wrecking robot from the movie I, Robot, the one who almost kills Will Smith in the not-so-perfect adaptation of the Isaac Asimov short story collection. This is not the case, as what Omer Haciomeroglu was trying to do is create a robot that could recycle concrete. Yes, this thing is designed to … [Read more...] about ERO Concrete-Recycling Robot
Garmin HUD Projector
Remember a few years ago how the standalone GPS market was doing pretty good, with Garmin and Magellan being the leaders? Oh, those were the times, before every smartphone had a mapping App, at least more than one. Garmin is still around, and it is cool to see that they are responding to the threat of distracted driving. This Hud, or heads-up display, sits on a vehicle's … [Read more...] about Garmin HUD Projector
