Give our troops a movie night.

Screen Shot 2013-10-11 at 4.36.14 PMDemonstrate 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.

Give our troops a movie night - bring your DVDs into Connecting Point

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.

Apple press event Tuesday, Sept. 10, 10am PDT: Follow it LIVE at these links

Apple press event invitation - September 10, 2013

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.
