Samson’s Carbon 49 for iPad Brings Music Production to Everyone

Okay, I’ll admit it: I did this post because that picture above just grabbed my eye.  I mean, if you’ve ever played a keyboard instrument (I played piano before nerve damage killed the feeling in two of my left fingers) and are an iPad fan, you’ve thought about something like this.  Personally, I’ve been waiting [...]

Shoot the Zombirds – Hunting Seasson Begins on Android and iOS on May 24!

You know, I might have said it before but I think it bears repeating: I am simply amazed at how deeply into the mainstream the entire concept of zombies has become.  Zombie movies, novels, games, an entire TV series (not to mention it popping up in other TV shows, too!); it’s amazing to me.  Back [...]

USBFever Launches 2-in-1 OTG and USB Flash Drive (4GB) for Smartphones

The proliferation of USB connector types has always been kind of tough for me to keep up with.  You know what I mean:  Mini-USB, Micro-USB, the Apple connector cable, and the ninety-’leven other proprietary types that makers of rechargeable headphones, handheld devices, and (for all I know) microchip-embedded golf gloves use.  When I travel, I [...]

Sonic Spins Into Your Tegra Mobile Device

Oh, Sonic!  You’ve gone from being a goofy video game character practically to icon status!  And I’ll be truthful with y’all:  I’ve spent many, may hours playing Sonic myself.  When my wife and I went to France for our honeymoon, to help pass the time on plains, trains, and automobiles, we brought a Sega Game [...]

Beware the New LinkedIn Email Phishing Scam–(Info h/t Virgin Digital Help)

Okay, yes: I’m short-tempered, it’s true.  And on some topics, my feelings definitely run to the vindictive, wanting revenge.  For example, I’m still sad that when I was stuck on an LA to Austin flight just a few seats away from Karl Rove, I didn’t pop him one.  But my mom brought me up different.

Win Dinner with Woz!

There aren’t too many true hacker icons.  By “icon”, I mean guys who are known for hardware or software hacking–not becoming b’zillionaires (although they may have), not standing astride the tech world, not even necessarily “changing the world” (although some of them have).  These are guys who are hackers: they keep their heads down, and [...]

RIP Donna Summer, Queen of Disco and More!

I remember way back at the beginning of High School the dances always seemed to conclude with one song – Last Dance by Donna Summer. It was just one of the iconic songs by the 5-time Grammy Award winning singer, who died yesterday at age 63 after a lengthy battle with cancer. Unlike some celebrities, [...]

Me on a Windows Phone? The “Hot” Place Must Have Frozen Over (sort of)!

  I’ve been considering something for a while now.  Something that, for me, was almost unthinkable even a short time ago.  But now I want to mix things up a bit and try something new. So after some internal debate, I’ve decided to try a new smartphone platform.  Although the Android platform never offered anything [...]

The Brave New World of Music DRM

We all know the law of conservation of matter, in which it only changes forms. Well, apparently that rule applies to music DRM – just when we thought it was going away someone reminds us that it is still there … just in different form. As the graphic above shows, some of the biggest sources [...]

SolMate, iPhone’s Hottest Solar, Inductive and Battery Case, Kickstart This!

Not all Kickstarter Projects are winners. And not all Kickstarter creatives have the integrity we want and expect. This is one example of a Kickstarter Project that looked great, had tons of promise but went sour… sour enough that I would NEVER AGAIN back a project offered by the folks who brought this forth. Project [...]

Modern Family Reimagined As Horror!

The ABC sitcom “Modern Family” is a sweet, funny look at what it means to be a family today. Each character has a mix of unique and stereotypical traits, and the kids are no exception. Alex, the middle child of one family, is the brainy daughter, and she often plays the straight man/outsider to the [...]
