Get Some Backup Vocals in the Shower!

Add a comment By Andi

We all know the shower is the best place to sing. The acoustics are great, no one's there to judge you and at the end of it all you're all warm and clean!

Of course with your kind of raw talent, you don't deserve to go solo. Your stage presence demands a band, some back up vocalists, maybe a DJ…

Why not make it your call with the Satzuma Shower Radio – you're the one running the show after all.

Make your Speakers Bluetooth Capable!

Hey, remember that time a couple of years ago you were showing off your sweet stereo setup to your mates? It had everything: all the latest features AND an awesome sound. And yet a couple of years down the track technology seems to have left it behind…

Nowadays everyone has music on their phones or streamed online that they want to share at a party, and you're the one stuck messing with cables trying to plug the things in!

Rather than throwing the whole system out, why not upgrade it with something like the Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter? Your stereo system gets all the wireless simplicity of Bluetooth, and you don't have to fork out thousands for a whole new system.

Now you can spend less time at your parties messing round with cables and more time hanging out with your mates or busting a move on the dance floor!

Tech Solutions with Cables and Gadgets!

It's hard to know which gadget or cable you need to fix your tech dilemma, let alone know where to find it! That's why we've put together this little list of great gadgets and gizmos to help solve some of your trickier problems.

The last thing you want to do with any kind of cable is bend it at an angle that could damage the wires inside. But what if the HDMI cable sticking out of the back of your TV stops you from wall mounting your display?

Thankfully the Dynamix HDMI Rotating Adapter will let you put that sweet flatscreen up on the wall AND keep your cable safe from getting distorted.

Simply attach the adapter to the end of your HDMI, then plug it in to your TV. Voila! Your HDMI can now rotate and swivel so you can position it just right.

Now all you have to worry about is what to watch!

Speaking of HDMI, the Digitus USB 3.0 to HDMI Adapter is perfect for outputting high quality video from your laptop to any HDMI display. Set yourself up with a second monitor to manage all your windows and tabs or better yet, hook it up to a projector and turn your wall into a sweet movie theater! (I suppose you could use it for work presentations too…)

Running through a USB 3.0 port, you don't have to worry about power supplies or any other unnecessary cables. Just USB in, and HDMI out to your display… even a trained monkey could set this up (although we're a little bias around here!)

The Transcend P5 Multi Card Reader is just a great device for dealing with memory cards. Supporting almost every format, this is perfect for camera enthusiasts or anyone who's just been on holiday. You'll be able to share your photos with everyone hassle free thanks to its easy plug and play capability.

The folks have built the P5 for functionality and durability, with parts designed to stand up to thousands of cards being inserted and removed. There's even a handy little LED to indicate card insertion and use. And it's compact, so you can pack it in your camera or laptop bag, or just throw it in your pocket!
