Introduction
Hey everybody, it's Lon Simon, and it's time for your weekly wrap-up. We had quite a week this week! I had a plan all set out as to what I'm gonna do, but then all of a sudden, all this stuff comes in, and you gotta readjust. So let's dive into all the exciting things that happened this week.
🎮 Ouya Interview with Bob Mills
I had the opportunity to interview Bob Mills, who's the games guy at Ouya. Let me tell you, it was really cool! If you're interested in the latest developments in the gaming industry, you definitely don't want to miss this. Head over to the link below to check out the full interview.
📺 EyeShare Media Streamer Review
Last week, I Mentioned the EyeShare media streamer, and boy, it turned out to be a lot more interesting than I thought. While the media streaming capability is not that great, it's fantastic when it comes to mirror casting and airplay. This device offers both features in a single device, which is pretty unique. I was so intrigued by it that I decided to shoot a follow-up video, which will be out later this week. Stay tuned!
🎮 Cardboard Dodo Case VR Headset Review
Another cool gadget that I got my hands on this week is the Cardboard Dodo Case VR headset. This fantastic device works with an Android smartphone and provides an immersive virtual reality experience. If you're into VR gaming or simply want to explore a new form of entertainment, this device is definitely worth checking out. Make sure to catch my review video for all the details.
💻 Acer's Tegra K1 Based Chromebook
In the world of laptops, Acer has recently released a Chromebook that is based on the powerful Tegra K1 processor. This Chromebook promises to be the perfect combination of battery life and performance. Unlike other Chromebooks that tend to be sluggish due to prioritizing battery life, the Tegra K1 version should offer better performance. As soon as I receive it, I'll be conducting a thorough review and running some benchmarks to see how well it performs. Stay tuned for the detailed analysis!
🔒 Importance of Securing Yourself Online
In a recent interview, I discussed the crucial topic of online security. While it may not be as exciting as some of the gadgets I review, it's incredibly important to protect yourself online. Using a strong password and practicing good security habits is just the beginning. I highly recommend implementing two-factor authentication, which adds an additional layer of security to your accounts. I've written an article with step-by-step instructions on how to secure your Google account using two-factor authentication. It's a simple yet effective way to safeguard your online presence. Take the pledge to secure yourself better today and let me know in the comments below!
🎮 Sega Genesis Turns 25
This week marks the 25th anniversary of the Sega Genesis, and it's making me feel a little old. I remember buying it back in 1989, just a few months after it hit the market. It's incredible to think about the impact this gaming console had on the industry. I'd love to hear from you about the games you enjoyed playing on the Sega Genesis. Leave your favorites in the comments, and maybe I'll give them a try too!
🔄 Updating HD Home Run Setup
It's been about a year since I made my initial video on the HD Home Run setup, which happens to be the most popular video on my Channel. I think it's time to revisit this topic and provide an overview of how I'm currently using the HD Home Run, Windows Media Center, and Plex together. I have some updates and improvements to share, so stay tuned for that video coming soon.
🌐 Connecting Ethernet to Network Over Coax Cable
Did you know that you can connect your Ethernet network to coaxial cable wiring? Yes, even if you have existing cable service, you can use a device called a MoCA (Multimedia over Coax Alliance) adapter to transmit data through your cable wiring. This allows you to extend your network without the need for additional Ethernet cables. I'll be exploring this topic and showing you how to set it up in an upcoming video. If you have unused coaxial cables in your house, this is a great way to leverage them for networking purposes.
Conclusion
That wraps up this week's highlights. It was an exciting week with lots of fascinating gadgets and topics to cover. I hope you enjoyed reading and watching the content. As always, I appreciate your feedback and comments. Let me know what you think and if there are any specific topics you'd like me to cover in the future.
