Mobile technology is, quite frankly, one of the scientific advancements I am most thankful for. We are living in Star Trek (minus warp drive and sexy green women), and when I sit back and think about that, I am simply amazed at how far we have come in such a short time. Now, for the love of Trelane, science me up a new battery technology to keep my devices running longer! As I await that next leap in science, I can at least keep my mobile technology charged via alternate solutions. Read the full story

I’m a cat person. Over the years, I’ve found that a cheap way to get a great deal of entertainment out of your cat is with the use of a laser pointer. Racing the dot across the carpet, tile, and wall results in frenetic outburst of feline chattering, agility, and aerobatics. The laser pointer is also a good way to keep your cat’s attention occupied so that they stay out of trouble. The only problem is that, eventually, either the cat or I will get tired of the laser pointer and move on to something else. That’s when the entertainment and diversion end. ThinkGeek sent a solution to my problem, in a manner of speaking, in the form of Brilliant Pet’s FroliCat BOLT interactive pet laser toy. Read the full story

I am a self-admitted technology geek (among other kinds of geek). As a technology geek, I am a firm believer in the value and necessity of data. Johnny 5 said it best with his oft-quoted phrase, “Need input!” Well, I need input. I want statistical and diagnostic data and information about EVERYTHING. I want to know how my computer is performing, I want to know how my net connection is performing, I want to know how my mobile devices are performing, and as somewhat of a car enthusiast and ex-modder, I want to know how my vehicle is performing. The standard gauges just don’t cut it, I want, nay, NEED more! I want to read my own CEL (Check Engine Light) codes, and I want the ability to clear them! I want to have statistical information that helps me maximize my gas mileage and fuel usage! I want to track the cost per mile of my driving so that I can minimize my expenses! I want to make sure my ignition timing is…on time! I want all this and more! Well, ThinkGeek, a wonderful site for a person like me, was so kind as to send out a review unit for a most excellent, and coincidentally quite relevant, device: the ScanGauge II Automotive Computer.

Recently, while filling a prescription at Walgreens, I came across an unexpected something in the toy isle.  Normally anything you find at Walgreens is going to be practically worthless, especially if it is an electronic something, but this really looked like a decent attempt at a cheap gaming alternative gift.  I had seen those crappy wanna-be “40 games” Plug & Play, All-In-One, video game toys, and very few actually look like anybody gave a shit in their creation (If you’ll pardon the French).

Last week, I received a Best Buy gift card for Christmas from my grandfather. After walking around Best Buy for what felt like hours, having no clue what to get, we ended up purchasing the Dazzle Video Creator Plus HD.

With all of the apps coming out every day for the blooming Android App Market, few are original, less are worth using.  I’d like to take the time to showcase the individuals that rise above the crap with a brief review.  I can’t think of a better place to start than PicSay Pro. Read the full story

The brain is a powerful thing. Without it, our bodies would cease to function, and we would be worthless lumps of gooey flesh. We obviously need our brains, but sometimes they don’t quite work the way we want them to. This is where the new app for the iPhone, Ubrain, comes in.

The paranormal exists around us at all times.  Usually, the paranormal world does not interact directly with the normal world.  Today, however, the unusual occurred, and a ghost ate my GOD DAMN COOKIE.  Yeah, you heard me.  A ghost.  My cookie.  Consumption.  Luckily, I had the StopMotion Recorder app running on my iPhone 4, and I was able to capture this undeniable proof of paranormal interaction!
