NBC finally got it together this year and will be airing all of the 2018 PyeongChang Olympic Winter Games (Feb. 9-25) while they occur, including the Opening Ceremony that aired earlier Friday. Because South Korea is some 14-17 hours ahead of the U.S. (depending on where you live), you’ll want to map out the full schedule and make your plan.

Of course, the easiest way to watch the Olympics is to simply turn on NBC. They’ll be airing the Opening Ceremony along with major events and competition highlights starting each night at 8 p.m. in Primetime as they normally do. Read more…

Recently launched on Kickstarter, Taro brings a whole new meaning to “sport mode.” Now you can capture or film yourself playing sports, dancing, skateboarding, etc. — anything you’ve always wanted to film but could never quite figure out how. Just stand in front of Taro for a second and the tracking module (composed of an infrared camera) and a flickering sequential infrared tag will pick up your body’s movements and make sure you’re always in frame.  Read more…
