The DraftTable is big and sturdy enough for an iPad Pro 12.9

NEWS – Many stands for iPads are designed for the smaller iPad.  They just aren’t big enough nor stable enough to support the biggest of the iPad Pros so that you can actually do some work.  The DraftTable from ElevationLab is designed for the iPad Pro 12.9.  It functions rather like an artist’s drafting table, and it was designed by digital artists for use by digital artists.   Whether you’re doing app development, photo editing, drawing, or just typing an email, you’ll love the DraftTable for using your iPad Pro.

Strength and stability is built into the DraftTable, with its rigid, laser-cut steel table; fiber-reinforced polymer legs and hidden, spring-loaded hinges; soft, medical-grade silicone cover for the table; and high-friction skids to prevent sliding.

Adjusting the angle is as simple as folding down a leg.  The spring-loaded hinges keep the legs locked in place, although the tallest leg does have additional locks for extra stability.  Although it’s big enough for the biggest Pro, it works with all iPads, including the iPad mini.  You can even use it with Wacom tablets.

Use the DraftTable with just the iPad, or connect the iPad to a Mac, and the DraftTable transforms the iPad into a Wacom Cintiq-like drawing tablet for your computer when used with the Apple Pencil and the AstroPad app.  When you’ve finished work, the DraftTable folds up for storage in your desk or for traveling along with you in your gear bag.

However you use it, the DraftTable kit ($69.95) comes with a wrist pad and a Pencil stand to make it comfortable to work for hours on the iPad.  If you don’t need the accessories, the DraftTable is $49.95 alone.  DraftTable is available at the ElevationLab website or at Amazon.

This extension cord makes charging your device easier while on the go

NEWS – Needing to charge up your phone or computer while you are away from home or the office can be tricky.  First you have to find an available outlet in the coffee shop or airport waiting area and hope there’s a chair close enough to allow you to plug in your sometimes woefully-short charging cable without having to sit in the floor while you get charged.  That won’t be such a worry if you keep an EasyLife 6.5ft Extension Cord in your gear bag.

With the 125V EasyLife, you have a 6.5ft cord that can plug into the wall and stretch over to your chair or table so you can work comfortably as your devices charge.  There are two models of the EasyLife cord: one with an AC socket and one with a 2-outlet USB charger.

The AC power plug version is 1.6″ thick and 4.5″ in diameter and weighs 0.55 pounds.  You can plug up your computer or any other device.  This is your most versatile version, because it could work with any single charger.

The USB charger version is 1.6″ thick and 3.5″ in diameter and weighs 0.75 pounds.  It has two 5V, 2.1A USB outlets, so you can charge a phone and a tablet simultaneously, for example.

Both devices have a silicone sleeve that allows you to roll up the extension cable around the charger to keep everything in a neat puck shape.  The outlet model is $16.95, while the USB charger version is $22.95.  Both are available at The Grommet.

Don’t settle for flat waffles!

NEWS – Breakfasts and desserts will take on a new dimension with the waffle bowls you will make with the Presto Belgian Waffle Bowl Maker.  Use your normal Belgian waffle recipe or prepared mix with the Presto.  The interior of the waffle maker is non-stick, so you’ll be able to easily remove the cooked bowl.  Unlike the hard waffle bowls you can buy at the grocery store, these are will be soft.

For breakfast, you can fill the waffle bowl with fruit and yogurt, eggs and bacon, or just add some butter and syrup.  For lunch or dinner, throw in some fried chicken.  For dessert, use it as the bowl for your ice cream sundae.  You’re only limited by your imagination.

The Presto Belgian Waffle Bowl Maker 03500 is $24.90 from both Walmart and Amazon.
