Of course, I had to come to Monster's big party Press Conference this year, and I was quite pleased. Head Monster Noel Lee took the stage as he announced some of the newest products for the year, as well as some super celebrity guest-stars. The first was the Katana, a wireless speaker with a sort of trapezoidal shape. There were some other minor things, but it quickly … [Read more...] about Monster is on fire at CES 2013

As I have explained in the last post, I am on the road this week to a big convention, CES 2013. I am looking forward to seeing a lot of things, but it has been a little bit of a trial to get here. I see no reason why can't vent here, as it is my blog. I can tell you that I had to drive 8 hours just to get to Vegas. For some reason, I can't ever sleep before I go, so I … [Read more...] about The Road to CES 2013, Part II: Conventions are fun, after they are done

As I have mentioned before, we at TheGeekChurch will bring you coverage of CES 2013, as it is happening. Maybe not instantly, but hey, we'll be here. Before I do that, I want to talk about something cool. I usually don't cover places to stay, but since I was staying here on my way to CES, I figured I would talk about the Black Swan Inn. The image here is what you will … [Read more...] about The Road to CES 2013, Part I: The Black Swan Inn

I have reported on stuff from G-Form before, such as the X-Protect for the last generation of iPhone. The company is becoming famous for putting their products through incredible tests, such as a hockey slapshot on an iPhone case. I suppose that I should not be surprised that G-Form put one of their latest products, a protective case, on a 5th generation iPod Touch and … [Read more...] about G-Form drops an iDevice 100,000 feet

Well, as you probably know, CES is coming up. If you are not familiar with CES, it is a huge tech convention that takes place in Las Vegas at the beginning of January. Tomorrow, I make an 8-hour drive there, but today, I have heard a lot about what will be there, mostly from other blogs, so you will be seeing a lot of links to them. 1. LG is adding Google TV to seven of … [Read more...] about Things I look forward to at CES 2013

Some of you might remember hearing about the Ouya, an Android OS console that will bring all the games of the Android platform to the TV. The Ouya was an amazing Kickstarter campaign, and it looks like the the GameStick could be quite a success as well on the crowdfunded app. The PlayJam is essentially an Android-powered console that uses a USB flash drive-like device to … [Read more...] about Gamestick, another Android gaming console available on Kickstarter

I don't know about you, but I have a lot of flashlights, and I often don't have the proper batteries for them. Fortunately, Panasonic has a new flashlight that can pretty much take any kind of battery which includes AA, AAA, C, and D-sized batteries. In case you are wondering, not all batteries are created equal. So if you think you can use a single AAA to make the … [Read more...] about Panasonic’s new flashlight takes any battery you put in it

Just pronounce the title: "Tech Year in Review in Twenty-one-two". That way it rhymes. However you pronounce it, it was quite a year. I want to go through the top stories of 2012, and they are in no particular order: 1. New iPad, iPhone 5, and iPad Mini. Of course, these are new Apple products, so we just had to write about those. I am guessing that there were a … [Read more...] about Tech Year in Review for 2012

Being the head geek here at The Geek Church, I love Lego, I love video games, and I love Lord of the Rings. Why in the world would I not like a Lego Lord of the Rings video game? In case you haven't figured it out, this is one of the many Lego games that have been released in the past few years. The last was Lego Batman 2, which I gave good reviews to, and I will give … [Read more...] about Lego Lord of the Rings shines on the Console

I believe it was Egon Spengler from Ghostbusters who said that "print is dead". I'm guessing that he wasn't the first to say it, and he won't be the last. It seems like a lot of magazines that were successful in print are now completely online. One of the most successful news magazines is Newsweek, and it is hard to believe that it is going under. Actually, it is going … [Read more...] about Newsweek announces the last printed issue

I am certain that a lot of you have received or have given yourselves new smartphones for the holiday. My wife and I have sort of started this new tradition of purchasing phones near the holiday, every two years, starting two years ago. The reason is because this is when the smartphone insurance runs out. I decided to purchase the Droid RAZR M, as I like Android phones. … [Read more...] about My Review of the Droid RAZR M by Motorola

It would appear that the world didn't end, so you can stop watching Melancholia. I am going to take a break this holiday, and I suggest you take one and load up The Fifth Element on Netflix. I realize that most of you don't think of The Fifth Element as a Christmas film. The film was a blockbuster back in 1997, and I dismissed it as trash when I first saw it. Back then, … [Read more...] about Celebrate the Holiday and watch the ultimate Christmas movie: The Fifth Element

I would like to think that I know how to detect trends. When I first saw the iPhone, I began to wonder if everyone was going to have a smartphone with a touchscreen. Now, almost everyone does, and it certainly is the trend of smartphones now. The other day, I went to buy a phone and then realized that I didn't need one. Wouldn't it just be easier to just buy a tablet … [Read more...] about Who needs phones? Can we just do tablets, or phablets?

I have seen gaming pads for smartphones before. There was the Nyko PlayPad, which you can get now, and the PhoneJoy Play. Like the PhoneJoy Play, this particular gaming case for the iPhone known as the FlipSide is a Kickstarter project. The FlipSide is pretty nifty as it just takes the controllers and puts them in a way that is most convenient. All the user has to do is … [Read more...] about FlipSide, a gaming case for the iPhone

All right, I think we all know about that Mayan calendar thing and how the world is going to end today. I suppose it would be premature of me to say: "yeah, like that's going to happen". If you want to watch a film about the end of the world, I would suggest Melancholia, a film you can view on Netflix now for free with subscription. Melancholia is a film where everybody … [Read more...] about If the world doesn’t end today, just watch Melancholia on Netflix
