Wemo Mini WiFi Smart Plug

I’m not sure why it took so damned long for this one to be a reality… Essentially, it’s just a plug that is controllable by your phone through WIFI – making any device with a solid state on-switch a smart device.

Pro-Ject Audio Systems

So I got a genuine reader’s question over the weekend:

Ryan, I have $1000 to spend on a turntable and no time for research or messing with vintage stuff. What would you suggest?

Frankly, I prefer vintage stuff… and I enjoy the time it takes to find the right one and sort it out once I have it. That being said, if I were going to spend $1000 on a no-nonsense turntable that was ready to go, I’d get a Pro-Ject RPM3. It’s belt driven, simple in design, and comes with a Ortofon 2M Silver cartridge. Pretty hard to beat for the money.

Great looking mechanical keyboards… And while I know mechanical keyboards are kind of a “hipster” thing, don’t know em’ until you’ve tried one. The right mechanical keyboard is a joy to use…
