So why isn’t there a place where the community can all connect with like-minded individuals? After attending several Comic Con events, we realized there was a major missing piece to the puzzle,” said Cole Egger, Cosmunity co-founder and CEO.

“When the convention ended and the dust had settled, we heard grumblings of what many called ‘Post-Con Depression.’ Everyone was bummed that they had to leave their community until the next event. We created Cosmunity to solve that.” Cosmunity is the go-to-geek app for anime, cosplay, comic and gaming fans that allows users to explore and connect with others who share their passions. As a lifetime geek and advisor to Cosmunity, Ming Chen of AMC’s Comic Book Men enthusiastically agrees, “Cosmunity is unlike any other app on the market for the geek community. I can go to Cosmunity and find everything I need; friends, event info, discover new content and find my favorite convention retailers all in one place.”

Marketplace:  The wide variety of items available on the Cosmunity platform today range from $5 to $38,000. Partnerships with individual craftsmen, artists and retailers offer fans a unique digital peer-to-peer shopping experience where geeks can find and purchase one-of-akind items they wouldn’t have found otherwise. Cosmunity provides an outstanding opportunity for industry vendors to easily list items for sale on the platform via their desktop uploader. Currently available for purchase on Cosmunity are props, apparel, jewelry, collectible items, full cosplay costumes, prints, comic books, artwork and more. Cosmunity integrates PayPal and AfterShip to ensure all transactions are tracked and handled securely, giving users confidence that their coveted item will arrive without compromise. One Cosmunity partner and well-known comic book dealer, Metropolis Comics, currently owns the most expensive vintage comic book ever sold, the 1938 copy of Action Comics #1, graded CGC 9.0. It also recently listed a copy of Amazing Fantasy #15 — which marks the first appearance of Spiderman — for sale on Cosmunity.

“We love Cosmunity because it’s easy to use and provides a terrific marketplace for us to list our collectibles for sale,” said Brandon Pierce Peck, Internet Sales Director, Metropolis Comics. “But more importantly, we love the community they have created. There’s no other place where fans can gather online to interact, trade collectibles, and pretty much just geek out. It’s basically Comic Con in the palm of your hand.”

Cosmunity has a separate Events tab where users can find local events, and chat with other attendees before, during and after the event, helping geeks make meaningful connections.

JBL Pulse 2 Review

Hey O&G fans, Today's tech review is on the JBL Pulse 2 wireless speaker. About five months ago I did a review on the fugoo wireless speaker and loved it, but I mostly use that speaker for my beach days and outdoor activities. Now I need something that is just for home with great sound and looks cool. After I attended Get Geeked NYC and spoke to the guys at the JBL booth, I decided to get the Pulse 2.

The JBL Pulse looks good and has a cool multi-LED light show added to it. The Pulse has a similar design to JBL's highly rated Flip and Charge Bluetooth speakers, but it's covered with a metal mesh grill. Here are some of the features and Specs on the speaker:

Bluetooth Connectivity allows you to wirelessly stream music through any Bluetooth enabled device.

Built-in Microphonethe built-in microphone allows you to answer calls.

REVIEW

I really do like this speaker, so much so I think I'm going to get another so I can use the JBL Connect feature and see what sound I get. I delivers good sound, but if you play something with heavy bass, the sound gets a bit distorted. The JBL Pulse 2 speaker features a very attractive design. Cylindrical in shape, the speaker stands like a larger soda can. The speaker was easy to set up and use. Pairing to a Bluetooth connected streaming device and the accompanying JBL Connect app with no issues.

The light show is pretty awesome! There are a few different preprogrammed modes to choose from and you can go with a custom light theme and control the brightness -- or just turn off the LEDs altogether. The only issue I have is that with the lights playing, it kind of shortens the Battery life. The Reception on the Speaker when it's connected to a smartphone is pretty good. the closer you are to the speaker, the clearer you can be heard on the other end.

Overall the speaker is a good purchase if you are in the market for a portable speaker. It's well built, splash proof, great sounding and the Pulse matches up pretty well against competing speakers in its price class.
