Homeland
The Complete First Season

Blu-ray
February 16, 2013; 7:00pm PST Homeland: The Complete First Season (Blu-ray)
In case you haven't heard, Homeland is a series which will keep you in suspense from the first episode, and turn the characters into people you feel you actually know. Rarely does a series do this, which is why you're seeing the review here.

Blu-ray
December 18, 2012; 7:43pm PST Prometheus 4-Disc Collector's Edition (Blu-ray)
Prometheus is not only Ridley Scott's return to the Sci-Fi Horror scene, but a key film which is already manifesting debates on where this new prequel trilogy is headed.

Accelero XTREME Plus II
by Arctic Cooling

October 21, 2012; 12:46pm PST Accelero XTREME Plus II
The Accelero XTREME Plus II has been around for a while, but it's one hell of a cooler — and it works. DigitalDingus installed one of these on an XFX ATI HD 6970 2GB graphics card. How much of a difference than stock does the Accelero XP2 bring to the Cooling Table? You gotta read this.

Transformers: Dark Of The Moon
Megatron Special Edition

Blu-ray
October 1, 2012; 8:58pm PST Transformers: Dark Of The Moon (Blu-ray)
Michael Bay brings us Transformers: Dark Of The Moon, and with this UK import, on a single Blu-ray disc by itself — no special features or extras. But this can be a good thing. With the Megatron transforming figure included, who needs extras. Prepare to be amazed.

September 16, 2012; 6:39pm PST The Town: Ultimate Collector's Edition (Blu-ray)
There is only one way to obtain the acclaimed crime thriller The Town, and it's in the form of the Ultimate Collector's Edition. See this movie how Ben Affleck wanted it to be seen.

The Walking Dead: Season Two
Blu-ray
September 7, 2012; 9:51pm PST The Walking Dead: Season Two (Blu-ray)
DigitalDingus is back from the dead, and so I thought the first review should be something fitting. How about The Walking Dead: Season Two with a special edition gross Zombie head?

Ghost Bird
DVD
January 5, 2011; 9:30pm PST Ghost Bird
A rather interesting documentary by Scott Crocker has crossed my desk. I decided to review it. Ghost Bird tells the story of a once-thought extinct bird who resurfaces in the swamps of Arkansas. But is this the ivory-billed woodpecker?

ClearStream Micron
Indoor HD Antenna

by Antennas Direct
June 20, 2010; 8:30pm PST Antennas Direct ClearStream Micron Indoor HD Antenna
Antennas Direct has produced their first indoor HD antenna, and I have to say already--it works. Be sure to checkout the review of the CSM1, which is compact, slim, sleak, and should be an addition to anyone's HDTV setup.

iBlink Earphones

October 11, 2009; 12:35am PST iBlink Earphones by Elexa
The iBlink Earphones could be a rather inexpensive way to solve two problems for those who are going to be outdoors at night. Listening to your favorite tunes and making sure you're seen. The iBlink Earphones are charged by a convenient USB cable and come with additional gel inserts to fit bigger ears and smaller ones as well.

The Silence Of The Lambs
Blu-Ray
May 22, 2009; 11:27pm PST The Silence Of The Lambs (Blu-ray)
Some may not remember, but The Silence Of The Lambs is where the Serial Killer Genre took root and created dozens of subsequent television shows and movies. This is the first time TSOTL is on an HD format and it doesn't look too bad.

Fitbrains.com
May 5, 2009; 8:29pm PST Fitbrains.com website
Fitbrains.com is a rather interesting and entertaining website which is designed to make you think. Yes, I know, this is odd for an internet website to actually make you think, but they are out there, and DigitalDingus came across this one. If you're looking for some brain stimulation, take a look at this website.

Kung Fu Panda Blu-Ray
April 5, 2009; 10:55pm PST Kung Fu Panda (Blu-ray)
Jack Black is Po, a misunderstood panda, in a rather funny animated movie, Kung Fu Panda. Po has dreams of becoming a Dragon Warrior, but there is danger lurking in the near future, and it is up to Po to find strength to protect a village from certain harm.

HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer
by Omron
April 1, 2009; 7:12pm PST Omron HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer
DigitalDingus has been absent over the last several months, and much of the reason for it, is changing my lifestyle. Losing weight is a difficult task, not only because it requires coming face to face with your addictive eating behaviors, but it's also frustrating to track progress. Omron's HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer is designed for simple use, where you enter in a minimal amount of information. The HJ-720ITC then tracks your steps, to be later viewed on a nice graphical interface, revealing calories burned, fat burned, distance, and more.

Samsung 830 64GB SSD Review Coming...

November 16, 2012; 2:41pm PSTSamsung 830 Series 64GB SSD (MZ-7PC064D/AM)
A Samsung 830 Series 64GB SSD (MZ-7PC064D/AM) is headed my direction shortly, and I will be using it, reviewing it, and have the review as a continuing process, so the life of the drive and any comments will be seen as time goes on. Samsung's 840 Series is already available, but I haven't particularly seen much of a difference to justify the price of the latest model vs. the 830. However, the 840 Pro Series looks rather fabulous if you can justify the price. In any case, SSD drives are becoming more affordable, and can be especially useful to those who don't want to completely build a new computer system in order to improve performance.

Can a person fork-out ~$100 to see a performance boost? We'll see...

November 24, 2012; 3:44pm PST
Update: Review is now available:

Bokeh
by Alien Skin
March 21, 2009; 7:25pm PST Bokeh by Alien Skin Software
Alien Skin Software has a new application which might just save you tens thousands of dollars--yeah, read that again. Bokeh is Alien Skin's latest result of a highly talented engineering staff who has tested several actual prime lenses from Canon, Nikon, and Zeiss, and infused their characteristics into one software application to give you the same out-of-focus results. In addition, you can infinitely adjust the focus areas, giving you even more control over what a natural prime lens would offer.

A new graphic user interface, a new "favorites" feature so you can instantly save your favorite effects when you come across them, is certainly welcome.

Lonesome Dove
2-Disc Collector's Edition Blu-Ray
January 10, 2009; 7:33pm PST Lonesome Dove - 2-Disc Collector's Edition (Blu-ray)
It's coming up for Lonesome Dove, and finally, it is in HD. Is it worth it? Well, yes it is. However, there is some controversy over the cropping which has been done to some scenes. DigitalDingus will show comparisons in this review, providing more insight into just what is going on. But regardless of the critics who complain about the cropping, this new 16x9 (1.78:1) aspect ratio in HD looks darn good.

National Lampoon's
Christmas Vacation HD DVD
December 28, 2008; 11:25pm PST National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (HD DVD)
Clark Griswold wants this Christmas to be the best ever, and nothing is going to break the tradition of a Griswold Christmas. Of course, finding out both sides of the family's parents are going to stay which is going to lead to outright WWIII, putting up 25,000 lights, and staying calm while a SWAT team is breaking through every window and door in the house, isn't going to be easy. Did I mention $7500 of the family savings was put down for a family pool on a guaranteed Christmas bonus which hasn't come yet?
