As many of you would know, I’m quite the fan of 360 camera technology, especially with its relationship to VR and Google Cardboard content. I’ve had a lot of fun with the V.360 sports 360 degree camera around the beautiful sights of Sydney, even so far as attaching the 360 camera to my scooter and […]
360 Degree Video Review & Camera Demo
Now and then along comes technology that really does blow people away. I’ve been showing friends my 360 Youtube videos and it’s literally the first time they’ve seen this format of video before.

Want to Join My Virtual Garage Band?
Everyone has their own way of unwinding after a long day, and mine is to pound the skins on my Yamaha DTXplorer electronic drum kit. As you can see from the video, the fold away kit actually fits very nicely in my room in front of the familiar blue couch. Thanks to my riffing mate […]

Samsung Series 5 Chromebook: First Look
If you’re an 80’s kid like me, then you must have seen the original Ghostbusters movie.

HP DM1 Notebook Unboxing
If you recall from our previous Toshiba netbook unboxing, we came away quite impressed with the combination of performance and portability in such a small machine.

The Dyson Fan Goes Forth and Multiplies (Video Below)
