ZhiZhu Solar Panel Charger Portable Power Bank Review

I do all of those things checked off!!!  This Solar Panel Charger was made for people like me!!!
Hey there. I love external battery packs.  I take my trusty battery packs everywhere I go but one of the complaints that I have about them is that if they are not charged, they are of no use.  I need one that will harness the power of the sun!  I need something like this Solar Panel Charger Portable Power Bank by ZhiZhu!  Our good friends at ZhiZhu sent me this one of a kind battery pack to try out and review.  But before I go into my experience with this solar powered battery pack, let's talk specs.

Are You Ready to Get Inked? Splatoon Out Today for the Wii U

Hey there.  Splatoon is finally ready to be released to the masses!  Participating in the demo the past few weeks was a blast and seeing the game mechanics first hand has me excited about picking this game up for the Wii U.  The game is like a breath of fresh air in an over saturated market of shooters.  If you still don't know what I'm talking about, maybe this graphic will help!

Mens Bodega 8 Piece Tie Bar, Tie Clip Set Review


Mens Bodega Tie Clips
Hey there.  You know, I love my T shirts.  I have plenty of band shirts and video game themes shirts.  My Legend of Zelda Triforce tee is one of my favorites, but there are times when I need to look pretty spiffy.  It turns out that in the past couple of weeks I had a wedding reception and a baptism celebration to attend to.  As most of you know, these are, "look spiffy" events.  I have my fair share of button down shirts and a pretty sizable assortment of ties but what I didn't have was that shine... that final touch that would put the whole outfit together.  This is where my good friends at Mens Bodega stepped up to the plate.  Mens Bodega offers quite a bit of top of the line Men's Fashion accessories and they provided me with their 8 Piece Tie Bar, Tie Clip Set to try out and review.  This won't be a very long post since there is only so much you can say about tie clips so let's get into my experience!

Mpow Swift Bluetooth Headphones Review

Hey there.  I love music and I'm always looking for ways to enhance my music loving ways.  Whether that be getting a sound bar for my TV, getting a great Bluetooth speaker, or getting an awesome set of headphones so that I can listen to music wherever I am.  The thing is, though, that I commute a few hours to work each day and I can't take speakers with me so headphones are what I'm using the most at the moment.  This is why I was extremely thankful to our friends at Mpow for sending me their Mpow Swift Bluetooth Headphones to try out and review.  I've had my fair share of headphones and I've had some great ones and I've had some bad ones.  I can honestly say that Mpow's headsets have not disappointed and I hope that the Swift Blutooth Headphones will follow suit.  So before I get into my experience, let's talk specs.

The Nintendo World Championships are Back

Hey there.  The Nintendo World Championships are back!  After a 25 year hiatus, Nintendo will bring back the official Nintendo competition to crown the ultimate Nintendo champion!!!  If you were a kid in the 90's, you may remember hearing about the Nintendo World Championship.  Actually, you probably remember seeing the movie, The Wizard (starring Ben Savage... you know... the kid from The Wonder Years).  The movie is essentially about a gaming competition that this kid just has to compete in.  Coincidentally enough, Nintendo games and products are scattered throughout the movie.  The Nintendo World Championships are loosely based on the gaming competition in the movie.  But come to think of it... I think Nintendo was ahead of it's time.  We didn't have live streaming back in the 90s.  The event wasn't televised, at least not that I know of.  And if you wanted to see who won... good luck.  lol  But today... we have gaming competitions on practically every inch of the internet.  Super Smash Bros. competitions are HUGE so you can imagine how well received an official Nintendo World Championship Competition will be!!!

Nintendo Teams Up with Universal Studios

Universal Studios and Nintendo
Hey there.  Now this is interesting...  It was announced today that Nintendo has entered into a partnership with Universal Studios to allow Nintendo characters and Nintendo themed attractions at Universal Studios Theme Parks.  How cool is that?!  Universal Studios is known for having movie themed attractions so I'm curious to see how they'll incorporate Nintendo games.  Will be have a Super Mario Bros. obstacle course?  A Metroid themed roller coaster?  How about a shoot the target type game featuring Link or Zelda and a bow an arrow (lasers or light based attraction, of course.)?  I think the potential is there to have all kinds of fun at Universal Studios now that Nintendo is on board.  But... considering that Universal Studios is, in fact, a movie studio... is a Nintendo movie in the works?  Maybe a reboot of the Super Mario Bros. movie?  It's possible.  We'll just just have to wait and see!

M2R UFO Bluetooth Speaker Review

Awesome UFO design allows you to hang it against a wall!
Hey there.  You can never have enough Bluetooth speakers.  There are so many designs that you need to test them out to see which ones work best for you.  I've had the privilege to try out small speakers, large speakers, pill looking speakers, and even take me hiking speakers... but I must say that my favorite so far has to be this M2R UFO Bluetooth Speaker.  Our good friends provided me with this Bluetooth speaker to try out and review and it definitely is at the top of my list.  Not only because of the shape, but because of the exceptional sound, booming bass, and... well... because it's a UFO!  lol  Before I fill you in on my experience, let's talk specs.

Uqique Mini Digital Voice Recorder Review


Uqique Mini Digital Voice Recorder
The perfect voice recording device!
Hey there.  Imagine this...  You're in class (or in a meeting) and you're supposed to be paying attention.  No matter how hard you try, there is no way that you take notes on every single thing that was said.  Your hand can only write so fast.  This may not be too much of a problem, but when it's a hour and half long lecture or meeting... you're going to wish you were able to "catch that again."  ESPECIALLY for those of us that need to take minutes during a meeting.  There is so much dialog and so much back and forth that you'll wish you can replay the meeting so that you can write up accurate minutes.  I'm in meeting all the time having a replay of the meeting would be perfect when writing up those minutes!  Well, with the Uqique Mini Digital Voice Recorder, now I can!!!  The awesome people at Uqique provided me with a Mini Digital Voice Recorder so that I can try out and review and let me tell you... I am glad that they did.  Not only has it been extremely in a school/work setting, but it's been extremely useful at home as well.  Before I go into my experience with the Uqique Mini Digital Voice Recorder, let's talk specs.
