Quote: "HDMI has pretty much become the standard, everything in my home entertainment system uses HDMI and I even use them with my computer, but not all HDMI cables are created equal. Yes you can pay an exorbitant amount of money for some, but that’s just stupid in my opinion especially when an inexpensive cable will do the job just as good. Solid Cordz has sent me over a couple of their newest HDMI cables for review that are version 1.4 which means they can handle 4K resolution and 3D content and these cables can also carry an Ethernet signal which could come in handy as many HDTVs and other home theater devices these days are internet connected.

Quote:
"It seems portable batteries are very popular lately as I’ve got another one for review but this one is from a different company than all the others, the company is called Poweradd and the battery is called the Pilot 2GS and it’s a 10000mAh capacity battery with dual USB ports. The one blatantly different thing I’ve noticed about these batteries is that even though they’re getting larger in capacity, they’re getting smaller in size and that can only be a good thing of course. The Pilot 2GS has dual UBS ports as I mentioned, one is 1amp and the other 2.1amps so you can charge virtually any USB enabled device, tablets, phones, mp3 players, pretty much anything and that makes it a very valuable thing to have when you need some extra power on the go.

It’s been a weird day and it’s only 10am. This morning I was taking the kids to school and there’s this suspicious guy across the street walking past the house and he kept looking up at the house and looking back watching us and he kept walking. Then we crossed the street and went down the hill to the school bus stop and I was curious or really suspicious so I turned and watched for the guy and he turned around and went back towards my house. It was just really odd, I’ve got alarm system, cameras and a couple pit bulls so I wasn’t too worried, but I still was as it was just really odd like he was casing the place. He seemed really nervous and it really got me when he turned back around and went back towards my house, I went back up the hill to see but he just disappeared. Then about 45 minutes ago this guy pulls up in front of the house and he’s looking at the house, I went out to see what was going on and he said he was looking at my steps. They were concrete steps but many years ago I re-did them with wood. The cheapest quote I got to re-do the steps in concrete was $13,000 so I just did them myself for about $800 with wood. I don’t, just a weird day so far… But enough, it’s time for the news…

Quote:
“Up for review today I have the Sacool Bluetooth stereo headset from Avantree and it’s aimed at active people as it is lightweight and even splash proof so you could take it running outdoors and not worry about the rain. The headset has multimedia controls right on the left earpiece for you for ease of use and the built-in battery should provide up to six hours of usage either listening to music or talking on the phone or a combination of both. The headset sounds great in theory but I wasn’t exactly happy with it so read on to learn more.. “
