Take command of your coins

NEWS – Tired of having a pocketful of loose coins?  The Delta Coin Pouch’s mission is to help you take command of your change.  The pouch’s shape is inspired by the Delta badges of the original Star Trek series.  The spiral insignia screen-printed on the front of the pouch is the Operations insignia used in the new Star Trek: Discovery TV show.

The coin pouch is officially licensed.  It’s made of faux leather and has a zipper closure.  You can use it to hold your earbuds or charging cable if you don’t need a coin purse.  Hopefully, the red color doesn’t carry the same connotations as the red shirts…

The Star Trek Delta Coin Pouch is $4.00 at Amazon.

Add solar lighting to your house gutters with this set from Falove

NEWS – Most DIY solar landscape lighting seems to be the sort installed in the ground to light a pathway or to wash a wall or a plant in lights.  These Falove solar-powered lights can be attached to your house’s gutters to light up an area where you could never plant them in the ground – like the front of a garage, as seen in the above image.

Each light contains a 2V, 100mA solar panel that charges the included rechargeable AA battery.  The light sensor automatically turns the light on at twilight to illuminate the area with bright white light produced by the three LEDs.  The fixtures are about 3 inches by 5 inches in diameter.  They are water-resistant, heatproof, and weatherproof.

As mentioned, they can be installed on your gutters, but they also work on walls, sheds, fences, or most any flat surface.  They are easily installed and require no wiring.  A set of six Falove Outdoor Solar Gutter LED Lights is $27.99 or a set of eight is $35.99 at Amazon.

Turn your MacBook charger into a Supercharger with the PlugBug Duo

NEWS – I love my MacBook Pro, but because it uses USB-C, it doesn’t charge any of my other gear, like my iPhone X, iPad Pro or wireless headphones. That’s where something like the new PlugBug Duo from Twelve South could come in handy.

The PlugBug adds back two traditional USB charging ports. This little red charging wonder snaps right onto your MacBook power adapter, no more carrying around extra chargers or buying some crazy dongle.

Now you can charge two USB devices, and your MacBook, simultaneously, with one device. And you get the benefit of 2.1A  rapid-charging for all iPhones & iPads.

PlugBug will even fit onto your iPad Pro power adaptor.

The PlugBug Duo is perfect for dorm rooms, coffee shops, and busy airports where available outlets are usually pretty scarce. Now you can charge all your devices before boarding your flight, all from one outlet.

As an added bonus Twelve South has included five plug adapters so you can convert your MacBook power supply to fit outlets in over 150 countries. PlugBug includes adapters for US/Canada/Japan, UK/HongKong/Singapore, Continental Europe, Australia/New Zealand and China.

This bracelet is an undercover hair accessory

NEWS – Some time ago, I read about a woman who had gotten a serious infection from wearing an elastic hair tie on her wrist.  The glitter in the cover of the tie embedded itself in her wrist skin and caused a potentially life-threatening infection. (Huffington Post, 12/02/2015)  Although I warned my daughter about the danger of wearing those tight elastic bands around her wrist, I still see her with a hair tie around her wrist most every day.

She needs one of these Matte Aluminum Hair Tie Bracelets, so she can keep her hair tie handy without the potential for an infection.  The bracelet is made of anodized, lightweight, nickel-free aluminum.  The hair tie fits over the bracelet to relieve the tightness and pressure around your wrist.  It can accommodate both skinny and thick hair ties.  It even comes with the first tie.  It will fit wrists 5.75″ to 6.75″ in circumference.

The Matte Aluminum Hair Tie Bracelet is available with a rose gold anodized finish.  Normal price is $24.95, but it’s currently available for $19.95 from The Grommet.
