And now for something completely different…
In late 2013, a small, Portland-based independent security firm called Xipiter built the first version of SyncStop (which was originally called the “USB Condom,” until cooler heads prevailed) to scratch an itch: They wanted to minimize the risks involved with charging their own mobile devices in public areas.
When they tweeted about their invention, they were immediately flooded with emails and calls – and realized they were on to something big. The first production run sold out in a matter of days, spurring them to refine (and rename) their product.
Connecting Point is proud to be the first in our area to carry SyncStop, designed and built by another locally owned, independently operated business. And we’re inspired to offer this already-affordable gadget at a 25% discount, as this week’s Deal of the Week.

It’s the go-to tool for go-getters on the go.
You get a sleek, solidly-built (the case is polished aluminum) battery backup charger for a whole slew of USB devices, including many, many cell phones and MP3 players. But it also serves as a super-bright LED flashlight. In short, it’s two, two, two lifesavers in one. You really won’t want to hit the road without one.

More and more devices are jumping on the HDMI bandwagon. Devices like DVRs, satellite and cable boxes, gaming consoles, Blu-ray players—and more and more desktop and laptop computers.
There’s a good reason for this. HDMI simplifies. That’s it. Period.
The video, audio, and even Ethernet signals are all transferred within a single slim cable. No snarled nest of cables lurking behind your entertainment center. You don’t even have to screw anything down. HDMI is truly plug-and-play.
These cables are of the highest quality, conforming to the latest electrical standards—but that doesn’t mean they’re expensive. In fact, as this week’s Deal, they’re downright dirt cheap. Our $20 HDMI cable is on sale (while supplies last) for a low $5.99.
This offer runs from Friday, February 20th to Thursday, February 26th, 2015, or while supplies last. Sorry, no rain checks.
