A Bluetooth thingy so I don't have to keep my phone plugged in to the cassette adapter when I'm driving.

So this dongle takes a Bluetooth in (from the phone,) and then outputs it to that 1/8" stereo port, which you have your cassette adapter plugged into? Cool!

Man, that reminded me that a lot of cars made in the mid to late 2000's have lovely stereos for what is needed now. By then, 99% of cars lost the cassette player, but most also had yet to implement even an UX input, let alone Bluetooth. So you're boned when you want to listen to music/podcasts/whatever on your phone.

For several years, I suffered through having to try and get those drat FM transmitter things to work in both my personal car, AND the work car I drove hundreds of miles a week in. It never worked right, I'd get a signal for at best ten minutes until I started getting interference. I eventually bought a new stereo for my car because I was so sick of it. I no longer have that job, either, so now it's all good. :cool:

Before you ask, it's from The Affair, which is a pretty cool site for t shirts and posters with designs based on works of literature. It took six weeks to be arrive from the UK, but the shipping wasn't egregious, and the print quality is fantastic.

I'll probably pick up one more of these from ikea:

Really depends how big the tree in question is, that saw wouldn't be nearly sufficient to run a 32" bar through a big tree unless you have all week.

We're talking about clearing trees from around the house, why do you need a 32" bar? 18" is enough.

his view is of section 8 housing and bums. Not to mention having to deal with downtown Dallas.

Go buy a saw and cut that bush down...or burn it. I have learned a view will drastically change the value of a place.

If I could do it without everyone knowing it was me I probably would. But people on the higher levels like those bushes so they don't have to look at the alley.

And yeah my place was super cheap (for the area) because of the lack of view/natural light.

Here's my would-be view from higher up without obstructions. The one in front of me is like that green one in the bottom right.

I found a few many-in-1 USB cables. Thought I'd order a few to go with my external battery and quite a few wall chargers. I also found a Micro USB to Mini USB adapter since all my bike lights use mini usb.

Left: Everbuying 5-in-1 cable - Mini USB, Micro USB, Apple/Samsung 30 Pin, Lightning - USD 2.87/CAD 3.22 (and unusually shipped from Switzerland)
Centre: Fasttech U2-071 Micro USB Female to Mini USB Male Converter Adapter - USD 1.10
Right: 1-to-3 Apple Lightning 8-pin + Apple 30-pin + Micro-USB Male to USB Male Charging Cable - USD 2.31 (and has a cloth jacketed/braided cable)

All work great, and also take up a lot less room than separate cables. Very handy when I take that external battery down the pub and folks turn up with almost anything, I can just slide those 2 into the small pouch that came with it. Throw a USB extension cable on them and use them with the wall chargers like a normal length cable. Not tested with an iPhone 5 yet and isn't MFi certified so I'm expecting that error message.


Not shown is one from MiniInTheBox.com because they sent one without a lighting adapter (old small nokia style charger instead) and then asked me to edit the 1 star review I gave up to at least 3 - you'll see which one

No usb 3.0? New Samsung phones are already using them.

An extra 3.0 wall charger was my latest purchase.

Edit: I know you can use 2.0 on the same stuff but 3.0 is supposed to charge faster.
