“Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin’ through the jasmine in my mind” – Summer Breeze, Seals and Crofts, August 1972

This week’s DOTW feels like this classic soft rocker sounds: Cool, breezy, soothing…and, just possibly, a bit of a guilty pleasure.

OK, maybe we’re reaching here. But imagine the envy of co-workers as you sit at your post, amidst the inchoate fury of full-on Oregon summer, cool as a cucumber. Right as rain. Relaxed and comfortable, as the soft foam blades push air into your face and hair, making your long locks dance in the breeze like in a Beyoncé video.

And it’ll only set you back 10 bucks. Now that’s pretty…cool. Stifle that guilt, and find out more here.

Deal of the Week | Mar. 21, 2014: Compact USB AC Charger $4.99

Compact USB AC Adapter for $4.99If you have a device that charges through a USB connection, you no doubt already have an AC charger for it.

But it might be nice to have a backup. One you can leave in the garage, or at the office, or in your totally-not-scary cabin in the woods. This week’s DOTW fits the bill nicely: Sturdy, compact, with a nifty collapsible AC plug that folds into the charger’s body.

Also, it comes in a Zune box. So, you know, nostalgia.

But its external packaging in no way affects the performance of the device within. This charger is world-ready, able to adapt on the fly to voltages from 100 to 240, and cycles from 47 to 63 Hertz. And it pumps out a respectable 5 volts / 1 ampere of juice.

Deal of the Week | Feb. 21, 2014: Flexible-Neck Five-LED USB Computer Light for $9.99

Flexible-Neck Five-LED USB Computer Light for $9.99As the ancient proverb goes: It is better to plug a single LED light into a USB port than to curse the darkness.

Stop cursing that darkness already. Next time you find yourself on the red-eye in need of better illumination for your workspace than that which the puny overhead airline light can provide, this is your solution.

Five well-directed LEDs flood your tray table and notebook with pleasing white light – without waking passengers on either side. You can also use it at your desk, when wanting low-key, indirect lighting while you’re gaming or the like. And if you need to re-connect cables in the back of your desktop PC, slip this light into one of the USB ports on it case – and bam! All the light you need to see what you’re doing back there. To summarize: Its flexible eight-inch stalk offers precise directing of light where you need it, when you need it.

You don’t have to worry about batteries, AC adapters, or electrical outlets. Find an open USB port, and you are in business. For less than 10 bucks, it’ll be hard to find a more useful, affordable, portable light. But that’s all we’re charging for this week’s DOTW.
