MagSafe Duo Charger – It’s Cool But You Need an Electrical Engineering Degree to Use It

MagSafe Duo Charger I obviously don’t do much traveling right now, but when Steve and I do travel, about 1/3 to 1/2 of what we pack is electronics, cables and chargers.

Ring Video Doorbell – Mirror Mod Allows You to See the Doorstep

The Ring Video Doorbell has been described as “caller ID for your front door”. It’s an awesome device that lets you see who’s at your door, talk to them or not, and do all this from anywhere you are on the planet (assuming you have internet). Another theoretical advantage is that you can see if […]
