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 […]
Lil’ Nitro World’s Hottest Gummy Bear
This devil colored gummy bear is the Lil’ Nitro and it is hot, 9,000,000 Scoville heat units hot. For perspective; a jalapeno is between 2,500 and 8,000 SHU’s. Personally, I would buy a bag of these gummies and put the Lil’ Nitro towards the top of my office candy bowl. Let the good times roll. […]
Boston Dynamics Robots Fight Back
You have likely seen the Boston Dynamics robotic videos on the interwebs. They are getting better at performing all kinds of tasks. There are videos of them being kicked while walking to show off their stability and adaptability. Pretty amazing stuff. Well, it was only a matter of time before another spoof video made its way […]
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 […]

Mini Cooper JCW Buggy
I am not a fan of the “new” Mini Cooper’s. My experience is that Mini Coopers are happiest when they are at the mechanic getting repaired. However, I do like the rally version that was built by X-raid and JCW (John Cooper Works). This mashup has been in the works for quite some but major […]
