Are ChoeTech USB-C Accessories Worthy of your Devices?
It seems as if USB-C is going to be the wave of the future, with rumors of the next iPhone integrating it and with Apple’s most recent MacBook pro sporting nothing but USB type C ports. In an effort to future-proof themselves, ChoeTech has begun releasing USB Type-C products and allowed us to check a few out. The First is the ChoeTech USB-C Charger, which is a 3 port charger sporting two 2.4a USB port outlets and a single USB type C Port.

Brewing Beer with the PicoBrew Pico S: Racking, Kegging, and Tasting!
When I last left off, I had brewed my first batch of homebrew with the PicoBrew Pico S. I waited a little bit longer than after the fermentation had stopped to rack and keg it because I wanted to be sure I’d given it enough time, and because Kev said it wouldn’t hurt anything to wait; he was right.
SynCharge Promises They’ll Give Your MacBook Back Its Magnetic Charger
One of the things I like about my 2015 Macbook Pro is that unlike newer MacBooks, it has the magnetic charger that used to differentiate Apple laptops from all others.

Ellipse Bicycle Lock from Lattis Brings a High-Tech Solution to a Low-Tech Problem
I have often found myself guilty of being “penny-wise and pound-foolish,” that is, in order to save a buck here and there, I’ve put something much more expensive at risk. An example of this has been the way that I secure my road bike when I park it outdoors either at home or downtown when I’m running an errand.
Grovemade’s Dock for Your New MacBook Pro Will Stand Out on Your Desktop
When looking for items to put on my new desk, one thing I knew I would need was a dock for my MacBook. Rather than just having it sitting by itself, I wanted it to have an elegant look to it, so I immediately turned to Grovemade.
Wally Micro Is the Tiny Wallet that Doesn’t Make You Compromise
This is the first of a series of reviews of Distil Union wallets. All feature thoughtful design and are all well-crafted.

Just Mobile AluCable Flat Cable with Lightning Connector: Yes, You Need One (or More)
If you’ve got a shiny new iPhone 7, then you’ve probably already noticed that the cables that come from Apple simply don’t hold up; whether they are fraying at the connectors or they’re getting weird kinks in them, their design is… not great. If you’re ready to upgrade, take a look at the Just Mobile AluCable Flat with Lightning Connector.
Mistic 2.0 POD-MOD Pre-filled Vape System Starter Kit Review
WARNING: The products discussed may contain or use nicotine.
