Ring Keeps Doubling Down On Creepiness
Ring (Amazon) just can’t help running over folks privacy. First, they let law enforcement know where every camera is in use, then they coached law enforcement on how to get user videos without using a warrant, and now there is evidence they were rewarding users for reporting suspicious activities. I think the “intent” might be […]
Airspeeder Racing Series
Now that the RC quadcopters and drones have proven so stable and reliable, they are growing in size and carrying humans. It was only a matter of time. Heck, the Tesla’s are basically giant versions of the electric RC cars I play with from time-to-time. Looks like these coaxial octocopter versions (and quadcopter styles) will […]
Amazon’s Ring Has Over 200 Law Enforcement Agency Partnerships – Creepy
I am a huge fan of the Nest line of cameras – the Nest Cam Outdoor, Nest Cam Indoor (just buy the outdoor version), and the Nest Hello Doorbell. With that said, I will toss them all in the trash if the Google/Nest decide to follow Amazon’s (Ring) level of creepiness with regards to sharing […]
Lego Treehouse 21318
Damn you Lego. I am a grown man. Why do you keep making me buy toys I don’t need? This beautiful treehouse comes with 3,036 pieces and is over 14-inches tall. It is currently the largest lego set in the LEGO Ideas lineup. This Lego Treehouse (21318) even comes with two sets of leaves in […]
2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray
The infamous Chevrolet Corvette has had a ton of design changes over its lifetime. Some were good and some were downright ugly. The 2020 Corvette C8 Stingray, IMHO, is one of the good years. The engineers at Chevy didn’t reuse and older designs and basically started from scratch. The 2020 C8 Corvette Stingray is the first mid-engine […]

The Mustang Shelby GT500 comes with a supercharged 5.2-liter engine, a Tremec seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, active suspension, and a 0-60 time in the mid-three second range.
Apple’s First 8-Core MacBook Pro
Another day, another Apple speedbump. This one, however, is pretty big as the latest 15-inch MacBook Pro now comes with an Intel 8-core (9th-generation) processor. In real-world tests that means it should be two times faster than the previous 4-core version. Take that and mix in, the Retina display, SSD hard drives, the T2 security […]
Lutron Aurora Solves Biggest Problem With Philips Hue Bulbs
I have spent quite a bit of money making my homes lighting situation a bit smarter. I am an Apple guy, mainly because I value my privacy, so naturally, I went with solutions that were Apple HomeKit enabled. My house is a bit older and doesn’t have neutral wires run, which means most of my […]
Grumpy Cat Dies At 7-Years Old
The famous Grumpy Cat has died a young death at just 7-years old. Grumpy Cat had complications from a urinary tract infection. I think it is time that the internet knows Grumpy Cat’s real name – Tardar Sauce. You will be missed Tardar Sauce. “Despite care from top professionals, as well as from her very […]
Every McDonald’s Ordering Touchscreen Tested Comes Up Positive For Fecal Bacteria
I probably shouldn’t be eating at McDonald’s in the first place, but on occasion, it hits the spot. With that said, I typically worry about the healthiness and quality of the food. Guess I should be worried about the LCD ordering touchscreens. Yikes. In every McDonald’s tested, these self-ordering LCD screens had fecal bacteria on […]
