Elder Scrolls v Skyrim

Details
Category: Games
Written by Rich McComas

skyrim_icon.jpgThe new installment of the much loved Elder Scrolls saga is, perhaps, a bit difficult to review. The reason? It just keeps going, but this is a good thing

In Skyrim, the quests are literally infinite in number. The game engine is designed to keep on tossing out new quests and adventures long after all of the “Core Plotline” quests have been completed. This creates ever-expanding opportunities to explore the vast world, which you will find to be an epic place of struggle, victory, and dragon-slaying heroism.

beamz-tn.jpgAbsolutely everyone dreams of making music -- it is in our soul, but only a small number of us are truly gifted.  That is where Beamz comes in, because this little device can make asbolutely anyone musical, because the melodies are already preprogrammed and all you have to do is "conduct" the musicians.

TECH2 LAKE HOUSE

th-channel7-370.jpgUPDATE - The exterior of the Technology Lake House is complete and we are now working on interior finishing and electronics.  Last year, San Francisco's Channel 7 ABC News ran a special video report on the construction progress of the Technology Lake House, and we expect them back for a follow-up soon.  Click HERE for a DLINK Live Video Feed with pan and zoom features (userid=user, no password, daylight hours only). 

Ron Rosberg's current project home, the Technology Lake House, is currently under construction on the shores of Clearlake in Northern California.  Even though the house is a wireless demo house, we have installed more than seven miles of wires in the walls for dozens of flat panel TVs, speakers, control panels, and sophisticated lighting. So far, more than a dozen technology and fixture manufacturers have agreed to sponsor this project, which has been simmering in Ron's head since he attended the first CES show in New York in 1967.  The 7,500 square foot project (plus three existing rustic cabin guest houses) is being built on a five-acre Honeymoon Cove resort with 500 feet of beach directly across from Konocti Harbor Resort.  This summer retreat will host  technology gatherings annually, inviting Western states home builders, contractors, and technology consultants for a live open house showcasing the latest in home technologies.  There is room to park plenty of boats, so plan on coming up for some lake fun after the project is complete.  For more info, send email to ronald@usa.net, or call 707-995-2683.  To see the latest photos, visit Ron's Flickr gallery.

We are currently looking for products to evaluate in these areas:

  • Home automation: lighting, security, and entertainment
  • A/V technology for the 500 SF home theater media demo room

Hot News on Cool New Features: The ENTIRE front of the home is made of 21 sliding NanaWall glass panels that fold into the walls, opening the entire home up to the lake during demo days.
