kitewithfishDay 19 - china_shop - Top five devices/appliances/bluetooth thingies/whatever :-)
5. I'm not going to lie, I still think PC/laptops are the best thing I own and I would not part with them for any tablet or phone or other thing.
4. Black Diamond Headlamp - it's tiny for a headlamp and great for reading in the dark or meandering thru a dark space with your hands free.
3. Stand mixer - honestly, really a nice thing to have when we were making a metric buttload of cookies recently.
2. Aftershokz Headphones - Bone induction wireless headphones. Amazing. I can listen to music while also being out and about and aware of my surroundings, I stopped having heart attacks when people snuck up on me while listening to music, and I honestly feel like my ears are happier.
1. Let's be real, I am a Kindle fanatic. The combination of being able to download fic as .epub files off AO3 and send them to Kindle over wifi and emailed from my cellphone has functionally make my Kindle Paperwhite into an incredibly useful extension of my fanfic reading. I set up a separate gmail account to send .epubs to my Kindle, so it also functions as a backup file system for my past reading, even if Kindle's overlords decide to bail on supporting outside files. It's honestly lifechanging in terms of eye strain. But it all needs to be in place or the utility of any one part of it just becomes a toy again.
(Obligatory: Amazon as a company is in wild need of regulation and privacy restrictions, so if you're in the US, honestly consider writing your senator about their labor practices.)
*Yeah, the Daily part of December Daily is not accurate but since the goal of this was "post more than the Wednesday reading meme" and it's a Monday, I'm calling it a win!
