Connection between father and son, between mother and daughter, between siblings. Connection with your soul mate. Connection with friends and co-workers. Connection between artist and audience.
And connection between a couple of electronic gadgets.
That last one is where this week’s Deal comes in. More and more devices are adopting the HDMI standard, and with good reason: A single easily-attached cable provides digital-quality conduction of both audio and video signals. Your widescreen TV almost certainly has HDMI ports. Many new notebooks (as well as more and more desktop systems) feature HDMI. Not to mention Blu-ray players, flat-screen monitors, digital camcorders and cameras, set-top boxes… it’s a long list that continues to grow.
And usually, HDMI cables don’t come cheap. You can expect to spend $20, $30 or more for a decent six-foot male-to-male HDMI cable. But this week, we’re selling an excellent 10-foot-long HDMI cable for less than four bucks.
Feast your eyes upon the veritable Swiss Army knife – of cables.
One end of the cable is your standard, garden-variety USB 2.0 male connector. But at the other end – that’s where the magic comes in…
Like the mythological Hydra, except with three heads instead of [furtively consults Wikipedia]… um, many more than three, this end spells relief for all your USB connection situations.
You get the latest Apple obsession, the 8-pin Lightning connector (iPhone 5, 5c, 5s, iPad Air, etc.). And you get that nostalgic favorite, the classic 30-pin wide connector (iPhone 4 series, first and second generation iPads, and more). And you even get the Micro USB connector that everyone else employs for most of their devices (including smartphones and tablets from the likes of Samsung, HTC, and LG).
You won’t want to leave home without one. Especially since, all this week while supplies last, it’ll only set you back four bucks. And we’ll even hand you a penny back.
Threading a needle. Putting the finishing touches on a trout fly. Soldering an “oh my gosh that’s tiny” part.
Tasks like these require precision, a sharp eye, and a steady hand. But if you’re like us and have none of these things, the next best thing is this handy little stand.
It’s fully adjustable, brightly lit, steady as a rock, and magnifies like there’s no tomorrow. This week’s DOTW is what we like to term a “sleeper”: You don’t realize how much you need it until you actually have one.
Save your eyes, your patience, and your pennies: Pick up the “Helping Hands” Magnifier Workstation, and start getting stuff done. For only $5.99, it is more than worth it.

We’ll be honest with you: We’ve got game titles sitting on our shelves that have been there for years.
Software distribution has been transitioning to online downloads for a while now – especially for games – and we kind of got caught off guard.
We’re trying to free up space for cool new products, and to that end we’re offering an unbeatable deal on the game titles in stock: Buy ’em now, as many as you like, while supplies last, for just $1.99 apiece. And we’ve got a lot of titles, for both Mac and PC.
So break the piggy bank and head on down to our Bend or Medford store soon. All games in stock are $1.99. The good ones are going to go first and fast, so don’t delay!
This morning, four large windows on the front of our Bend location were “wrapped” with a printed, semi-translucent graphic. You can see what it looks like above. What do you think?

Lot of cameras out there. Whole lot of surveillance going on.
Not trying to be paranoid or anything, but just look. At the supermarket, on the street, in the lobby, the café, the ATM, the super-villain’s lair: Surveillance cameras are ubiquitous.
Time to fight back with a little bit of counter-surveillance. And you can do it for just under 40 bucks – that’s $60 off the regular price! Countermeasures have never been so affordable.

Demonstrate your support for our brave men and women in uniform. Bring in any DVDs you can spare to Connecting Point’s Medford location. We’ve partnered with Charter Media, History, and other local businesses to collect DVDs from now through December to send to our troops abroad. Even children’s titles are welcome – they’ll be distributed to servicemen’s and servicewomen’s families, right here in the US.
Protecting our country can be alternately ultra-dangerous and ultra-boring. Downtime in remote parts of the world can be really tedious, and the entertainment options limited. That movie on DVD you donate can help make the time pass a little more enjoyably.
So we ask you to look around your home, see what DVDs you might be willing to donate – and the bring them in to the collection box here at the Medford store. We’d like to fill the box to bursting! Read more here.
It is basic human nature to seek connection.
