Kim Komando, one of my favorite radio program and tech guru, just published an article on
10 Incrediably Useful Low-tech Hacks for High-tech Gadgets  You will be amazed at these easy tricks -- a"Why didn't I think of that" moment.


From Kim Komando

"You know that feeling you get when you have an A-HA! moment? Sometimes it comes after the simplest fix to something that's just been nagging you. It happens to all of us.

As we add to our collections of high-tech gadgets, I had a few A-HA! moments when I realized some everyday items can really help out with organization.

So I picked 10 pretty cool low-tech hacks that are super cheap (you probably have them in the house already) and so easy to do!

1. Don't Step on them!



Anyone with kids knows the horror of stepping on a stray lego. You really can't even put that pain into words. But here is a much better use for all of those lego figures you have laying around. The design of the "hands" make a perfect holder for computer cords! Just stand those little guys on your desk and let them do some work!

2. Super secret drawer



Forget about a junk drawer and create a tech drawer! This is a great way to make your own charging station that's hidden away. You can use hot glue or double-sided tape to secure a surge protector to the back and now you have a space for your phone, laptop and iPad.

3. Bring on the wine
4. Hand-made speakers
5. Sound Advice
6. Add a little cushion
8. Tie 'em up
9. Getting you out of a bind
10. Forget about lights...string your cords

The meeting on January 10, 2018 in Classroom 2 will be presented by Allen Wickman.  He will discuss the mysterious jungle called Social Media. Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and others here we come!

In addition, I would like us to help with the Health Fair by giving our RCW friends information on putting emergency contacts on their cellphones.  If you know how to do this with your brand of cellphone, please bring the information with you and think about volunteering for a little while to distribute this information.  We will be discussing this information at the meeting.
