My Gadget love and how I got my Gadget Fix




The find is what I crave. Do you find something online or in a store and just get a tingle that says I need to buy this?

Gadgets, things, devices are all stuff, these are all materialistic objects but I think that these objects can do more then just help you complete the task at hand, or just be a cool object to say you have. I found that gadgets, not just any gadget, I am talking about that weird or aggressive thing that can make a person say something to you about it, or spark a conversation because you want to tell someone about the device and maybe they will buy that same thing and then the conversation continues with that persons friends.
This is a web of communication that was sparked by one individual cool gadget that initiated an interest from someone else.
I believe that a really cool gadget can help create relationships, bonding and preliminary conversation between individuals.
Have you ever seen something really cool, that your friend, family or stranger had, so much so that you had to ask about the gadget?

Will electric cars be the new Gadgets for men? They are slowly invading our streets


Imagine our world never having gasoline-powered vehicles to rip up the streets with. This isn’t just a case of future technology turning into a fad. Here are some facts about a really cool subsection of the car industry.

Electric cars do not run on anything that produces emissions (Zero) making them the greenest and most eco friendly cars on the planet.[1]

You can even take your regular car and fit it with a universal electric car conversion kit. You can swap out your old transmission and gas tank for completely electric ride and it will only cost you $5,571.[2]

For the skeptics, and lovers of gadgets for men, who think electric cars have no power, should check out Tesla Motors and the two high-end performance models they offer to consumers. Think of a Maserati meeting a Dodge Viper, but you can plug it into your wall at home.

Even though it is not considered future technology anymore, electric cars have not really made a splash into the consumer market yet. Could this be because of its still relatively high cost to produce? Will there ever be, in our lifetime, a chance for fully electric cars to take over the industry? Nostalgia always has supporters, so in my opinion we will always have gasoline powered cars, even if it is to keep the aficionados happy

Do you think the direction of electric cars is headed straight for us? Would you install an electric car conversion kit?

One Funky Phone you don’t want to miss! – Review of the Samsung Galaxy S4 running Google Nexus 4 operating system

As far as unique phones go, this is a real game changer. For fans of the popular Samsung Galaxy S4 who must have the latest updates from Google, this phone satisfies your every desire!

I’ve not always been a fan of the Google Android platform, personally I’m an iPhone man myself, but this funky phone got my attention. Google has stripped away all the bells and whistles that Samsung has been offering, and replaced it with their flagship operating system.

Fans will be treated to a skinless version of the 4.2 Jelly Bean OS and the popular bootloader already unlocked. In addition, the latest system updates only offered through Nexus phones will be available as they come out.

Being one of the coolest Android mod phones on the market it also comes unlocked, capable of utilizing your provider’s 4G LTE network, and boasts a powerful Snapdragon 600 processor.

The phone is already available on the Google Play app store for $649 making it a little bit pricey for the cost effective consumer. However, if you don’t mind paying for expensive phones and want to be ahead of the trend, this is something to keep on your radar.


Do you think it is worth the investment for an Android mod phone? Leave your thoughts below.
