Discretion

Overview
      A thriller involving a man wanting his girl back and his future destiny and demons controlling him is very entertaining. Meet Colin a man who lost his girlfriend Natalie and was led back to her by a Christel who he thinks is a ghost or other supernatural being. It took me about 3 days to read the book and is intended for an adult audience.

Review
       This was my 3rd paperback book and 1st ARC I received. What originally attracted the book to me was the cover. I usually don't touch on covers but this one was a particular favorite. The use of a stock royalty free photo and the right font makes a stunning first impression. The book itself was good... if your 18+. The excessive use of language and certain scenes didn't touch on any fancy of mine. Still the writing felt much like a Ted Dekker thriller which satisfied me well.

Rating
     3.8/5 If your 18+, looking for some supernatural action, and a story of love, redemeption, with twists and turns then I highly recommend this book. If your under 18 and not a fan of cursing this book wouldn't be your favorite. I say to the author excellent job and keep up the good writing!

Please note people wanting book reviews!

Alright hello! I've been getting a lot of book reviews which is good glad to see the traffic and hope I help y'all sell your books! Couple of different things below.

1) NOTHING graphic, heavily romantic, or heavily fantasy (like Harry Potter).

2) No like adult type fiction I mean I'm 14 and Christian I like to keep it clean.

3) Due to heavy amount of requests (I can show screenshots I have like nothing but reviews in chunks) I will accept, but will take a while to get to your book. It would be faster but we lost a key book reviewer (my dynamic partner Jenn Leahy) and are in the process of bringing new one on staff. I do my best but with a heavy semester I'm constantly busy.

Thanks!

VMware playing Windows 7

     I was at school and we were playing with some virtual machine software. Our $2k computers run Windows 8 so going back to 7 was funny. Good thing it was only virtual so we could switch back whenever we wanted. We do this since we are to be trained like IT people and so we can adapt to several different operating systems. You never know what kind of OS your customer is running so you always have to know how to run older things. Thankfully, Microsoft  is not supporting XP in 2014 so maybe our teacher will cut us some slack and won't make us virtually run Windows XP. I was also listening to some Matisyahu so that always makes the time, running older software, go by faster. Happy coding :)

Ubi Interactive

     Over a year ago, startups were selected to be part of the first Kinect Accelerator program, located in Seattle. One of the shining stars was a group called Ubi interactive and started by Anup Chathoth and Chao Zhang. The purpose of the program was to find ways to work with and use Kinect. Uber interactive is all about turning any surface into a virtual, interactive touch-screen.

Adopted Son review

Overview
     Looks like space/aliens are really featuring on the site right? Well I'm what some might label a prepper, conspiracy theorist (we were right about Area 51), and alien believer. When Adopted Son came along I was like, "You speake my language!" I wasn't surprised to get such a book in my e-mail but certainly chuckled that there was an entire publication house dedicated to selling awesome conspiracy theorist books! Well the book is about aliens being born from us humans and early diagnosed as Handels Syndrome then when an ambitious president opens the vault at an Air Force base he finds out they are aliens that were from a biological attack from the Pleiades. Talk about exciting this is it.

Review
     Let's just say this book reminded me something like a classic "conspiracy theorist book" like Orwell's 1984. It was a vivid depiction of a possible takeover by nephilim a.k.a alien grays. I really liked the storyline, writing style, and the plot. The book felt well thought out and the ending was well.... unexpected. The emotions and civil right cases had me on the edge of my bed wanting to plead for the aliens survival. Everything about the book felt like an Extraterrestrial Civil Rights book right down to the March on Washington with the white people pelting rocks. Must read for all ages and even if you aren't labeled a nut.

Rating
 5/5 It's hard on me that I keep giving books 5 out of 5 again and again and again. It's hard on me to do a harsh review or a flowery review but so far authors have been sending me some awesome sauce lately. This is one of my favorites so much so I stayed up for about 5 hours till 1 o'clock on a Sunday night reading it. Glad to see the indie book writing movement has been making some good stuff. Go show the author some love by buying a copy on Amazon.

Dash: the DIY robot you've been dreaming of

                         
Future of robotics?

      Animal inspired, unique building process, and hacker friendly the Dash robot is available if you donate $40 to the Dash crowdsourcing campaign. One of the "perks" and probably what really made me think was the spring type of locomotion. Usually robots require a lot of servos, sensors, and other things making robots a sect within a sect of people. To make robots you have to be an "extremist nerd/geek." Now the fun, easy to make, and relatively fast Dash alpha robot is here with a simple origami style.
      The key part that the Dash team is stressing is the "animal inspired" part. Through a promo (not the one shown above) they showed some animals like lizards, cheetahs, and a large insect all using a spring like locomotion to keep on moving. I thought the idea was neat because instead of making something that would most likely be unsuccessful, slow at best, and highly unimaginative they built upon tried and true principles with little nearly cute animal like robotic "mice." The good thing compared to as spider like ATV these can actually sprint or dash like they are called.
      This is completely awesome. I've put links to all their social media sites, websites, and the place to go fund this beast of a machine.
