We’re embracing our inner whimsy here, offering up an unusual collection of character-driven USB flash drives (now there’s a sentence you don’t read every day). There are 15 different versions – you can’t tell which one is in the box until you open it. Described by their creators – the possibly-off-their-meds folks at Wish Come True – like this (we have purposely avoided editing a single word, punctuation mark, or trademark symbol):
Wish Come True BLOTz™ is a premiere collection of MIMOBOT designer USB flash drives presented in a blind assortment! Each individual box contains 1 of 15 brilliant drives, from the world of Wish Come True designed by our super-crack Artist Series collaborators, FriendsWithYou™ of sunny Miami, Florida. Unbox 2GB of friendly flash memory and store your data in style with MIMOBOT BLOTz!
So if you’re looking to brighten up your desk or jump bag with a splash of colorful insanity, have we got a USB flash drive for you! Best of all, they’re only $4.99 each – a great deal, since they normally sell for $19.99. If you’re a completist, you’ll want to collect all 15.
Learn more about this week’s deal here. And in closing, we’d like to leave you with this (utterly, completely bonkers) video:
Never has something so useful and convenient come so cheap.
If your computer doesn’t have a built-in card reader, we have a great DOTW for you this week. For less than the price of a Diet Coke at the local cineplex, you can have this compact, tidy device.
It supports all the usual suspects: CompactFlash, SD, MMC, MicroDrive, Memory Stick, and xD. It plays nice with both Mac and PC systems. And it requires no external power, so it makes a nice addition to your notebook’s accessory collection.
Normally, this little guy sells for 20 bucks. But from now through Thursday (or while supplies last), you can get one for just $2.99.

One of the better recent technical innovations has been the introduction and popularization of the HDMI standard. One cable carries very high quality digital audio and video. Plug it in to the two devices you’re trying to connect, and BAM!
Done. Easy peasey.
The one drawback? HDMI cables are usually spendy. It’s not unusual to see a 10-foot cable like this one selling for $40 to $60. Our regular price, in fact, is $29.99. But this week, you catch a break. This week, you get the Good Guy Deal.
This week, we’re selling a 10-foot HDMI cable for a ridiculous $3.99. To find out more about our Deal of the Week, click here.
Apple will be hosting a press event Tuesday morning at its Cupertino campus. The invitations featured the above graphic, hinting at something…well, colorful? The rumor mills have been grinding away for weeks, with most knowledgeable sources believing the event will offer up new iPhone news.
For the record, Apple had this to say about it: __________________________.
It doesn’t look like the press event will be streamed live, although a recorded version may be posted later to Apple’s site. But fear not – a veritable army of mainstream and tech journalists will be in the audience, equipped with the heavy artillery of their trade: camera phones, laptops, pen and paper – and typically tenuous Wi-Fi and cellular networks.
Want to track the proceedings at 4 Infinite Loop Town Hall in real time? We recommend one or more (hurrah for multiple tabs and windows in your browser!) of these links:
Apple may buck recent trends and offer coverage of its own – possibly even live streaming video. You should be able to navigate to it via the “Apple Events” page of its website.
UPDATE 09.10.13 2:35PM: As expected, Apple has posted a video of the entire event to its site. You may view it here.
With the fun and games of summer drawing to a close, it’s time to get back to work. It’s time to get back to school. It’s time to get things done. If you’re not moving ahead, you’re losing ground. You need to Spring forward – so this Fall… Mac.
Whether it’s time to replace your old Mac, time to upgrade your aging iPad, or time to make the switch from PC to Mac, there has never been a better time to buy: get your new Mac from Connecting Point before the end of August 2013, and we have special financing available (subject to credit approval. Minimum monthly payments required. See store or this page for complete details.). You can even apply online, then print out your approval form and bring it in with you. Quite the timesaver!
So Spring forward, and move into Fall with a brand new Mac or iPad…from Connecting Point Computer Centers.
DOTW is back after a week’s “vacation,” with a blast from the past. Yes, we’ve offered this item before, but we’re bringing it back – by popular demand. (We’re all about satisfying the popular demand.)
If you and your family (or roommates, co-workers, dorm buddies) use iOS devices like the iPhone or iPod, you know you can never have enough ways to keep them charged. That one little cube that came with the device just ain’t cutting it. To that end, we offer this three-piece solution, at an amazingly affordable price.
You get a wall outlet charger, a 12-volt car/boat/RV charger, and a one-meter USB to 30-pin connector cable. At this price, you can pick up several, sprinkle them about your home and vehicles – and never get caught with a dead battery again!
More details on this week’s Deal may be found here.
OK, this week’s DOTW is a tad…odd.
So if you’re looking to brighten up your desk or jump bag with a splash of colorful insanity, have we got a USB flash drive for you! Best of all, they’re only $4.99 each – a great deal, since they normally sell for $19.99. If you’re a completist, you’ll want to collect all 15.
Both locations will be open from 10 am to 5 pm. We invite you to come on in and take care of your last-minute back-to-school shopping!
