Deal of the Week | Jan. 24, 2014: Black 8-pin Lightning to USB cable for $2.99

Black Lightning 8-pin to USB cable for $2.99Sometimes, it all comes down to the simplest thing.

You’re frustrated because you keep forgetting or misplacing that Lightning cable that came with your iPhone (or iPad, iPod touch – whatever). And when you’re frustrated, you’re not being all that you can be. When you’re not being all that you can be, you’re not living up to your fullest potential.

Frustration can be so darned…frustrating.

Enter the aforementioned ‘simplest thing’: Another 8-pin Lightning cable to supplement the original. Like warm waves on a tropical beach, relief washes over you, lifts you up, bathes you in soothing vibes, in rippling concentric circles of improved productivity.

And making this ‘simplest thing’ all the more simple, we’re letting it go for less than three bucks. That’s the healing power of the Deal of the Week.

Deal of the Week | Jan. 17, 2014: 3-in-1 USB to 8-pin Lightning/Micro USB/Apple 30-pin Cable for $3.99

3-in-1 USB 2.0 Cable for $3.99It’s the Swiss Army Knife, but of cables!

(“Swiss Army Cable”? That doesn’t sound quite right…)

Imagine having at your disposal a single, compact cable that connects to almost every USB device you can throw at it. This ingenious three-in-one USB cable accommodates Apple’s latest 8-pin Lightning connector, the industry-standard Micro USB connector used by many digital devices and smartphones (including most Samsung Galaxy models), and that trusty old standby, the Apple 30-pin connector (older iPods, iPhones, and iPads). Its unique, Hydra-headed design saves you space.

And our less-than-four-bucks price saves you $$$.

Deal of the Week | Jan. 10, 2014: Mini Car/Home Charger & Cable for iPhone/iPod for $7.99

Mini 3-in-1 Charger for iPhone 3 and 4 models for $5.99When it comes to iPhones and iPods, they never seem to pick the most convenient time for their batteries to run out.

And if you don’t have a charger or computer nearby to plug them into, all you can do is watch helplessly as the battery life indicator drifts down past 20%, down past 10% – only to finally plunge into inky, silent darkness.

The takeaway here: You can never be too prepared. You can never have too many chargers. Especially if you can get one for both home and car for under eight bucks. Which is exactly what you can do with this week’s DOTW.

You get a 12-volt charger, suitable for car, boat, and Gulfstream. You also get the ubiquitous cube-shaped AC charger, a dead ringer for the one that came with your device. And as a bonus, you get an old-school 30-pin to USB cable, like they used to use way back in 2011. Just sub in your own cable or an adapter and you’re completely up-to-date.

Deal of the Week | Dec. 27, 2013: Two Remote-Controlled Switch Sockets for $12.99

Remote controlled switched sockets for $12.99Getting up from a comfortable seat, moving to a location, and manually flicking a switch? Man, that is so 20th century.

We live in an age of remotes, of wireless magic, of click-here-and-it-gets-done-there wizardry. What if you could randomly pick a couple of lamps or appliances or tools to set up as remotely-activated devices? What if doing so was not only dead simple, but ridiculously affordable?

Think of the possibilities: Early morning, your alarm clock comes on. You slap it off, as usual – except now, because you went to Connecting Point this week, you can also slap on  the coffeemaker – without getting out of bed. By the time you stagger downstairs to the kitchen, steaming hot java awaits.

Paradise. Better still, paradise for less than 13 bucks.
