I wanted to ease Stuart’s cable packing when we travel. A flat charger (not featured) and essential cables in a bouj-ey travel wrap is definitely his style.

People often ask me what cables I carry. No they don’t. More often can they borrow a charger.

I need a device that can charge 3 x USB devices and one device wirelessly. No I don’t. Who needs that. This amazon special has a big capacity and the ability to charge four devices at once. It also plugs straight into the wall to charge itself whilst it’s charging your devices. Woah.

I was stuck for a present for Stuart. He likes prime colours and his Series 0 Apple Watch purely for its customisation. eBay has great silicon straps at £3 a go. Quite the technicolored dream watch.

I liberated this from a friends office. A short throw projector, perfect for our living space. The cables store inside for easy storage and I use the HomePod for audio. Finally I can catch up on all the Kate Winslet films I missed.

This xiaomi thermometer gives a temperature readout. So I always know how hot it is in the living room. Useful.

One of the few things that are useful to charge wirelessly. (Once a year). The Apple TV remote. Made up of an aftermarket adapter and a silicone case.

Super cheap and very neat. This £3.99 Apple Watch charger is great for travel.

A cool way to be lazy. Literally. Siri can control my dyson fan with temperature controls.

So I got this for £3.95 with a Spotify code from eBay. It controls some smart lights and is both castable and works with AirPlay thanks to Castbridge. Only AirPlay 1 though..

Never ask for the WiFi password again. This website helped me make QR codes to join the WiFi. Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy themed of course.

Always carry a tripod. A mini magnetic tripod will solve many problems when it comes to candid photos.

The Hopkins Media Unit with sideboard houses my flats finest tech. It’s modular and can be arranged in many ways.

Off with it’s head. I took a MacBook Pro, pumped it with 2 x 750GB (7200RPM) drives using an Optibay and upgraded it to 16GB of RAM. This Mac powers AirFoil, Plex, Castbridge and Homebridge.

I was searching for a Smart Plug with a USB port. It frees up plugs and controls my lamp with Alexa/Siri. This came in a two pack at a nice price!

Gifted to me in 2015 Smarter Kettle has so many flaws but it makes people laugh. It has changeable skins and you can use it with Siri. I’ll often use it to boil water for pasta/rice on my way home. Niche.

This one pleased my other half. Even he got too lazy to ask HomePod to ‘Turn Living Room Lights on’ once the sun started to set.
