Let's try this again. Can you all see the pic? This should be here today. Love the Misfit Flash so far, & for $20 it's a great way to start using a fitness tracker.

I didn't post a pic but my last purchase was a Xbox One.

I like it @rootabaga

Here's what I have had on the 360 for a while now, nice and clean.

Wax on, wax off.

Well, if it's @PattiCakeUS approved...

That's what I like in a watch though, just a watch

I haven't worn a watch in years, I think I might still have one... somewhere?

When I'm at work, I look at the clock in the lower right corner of my PC or look at my phone if I'm outside for a walk. A couple of my coworkers have actually brought clocks from home that they hung on the wall in their cubicles, but my job has me working at my computer 90% of the time, so the clock is always in my view. I don't need no stinkin' watch!

Here's a couple, I actually got The Force Awakens on release day, just forgot to post it till today. The other ... new Batmobile (BVS style) I picked up last night at Wal-Mart whilst getting cat litter and a few other misc necessities. (I opted not to post a picture of cat litter, toothpaste, shaving cream and Q-tips. Cause you know, who cares.) The new Batmobile is 3 times bigger than my gifted one (at least 4 inches long) and very detailed. Nice for 5 bucks.

Just for clarity, I need at least one number on there

My router went kaput last night. Had to run to Wally World. My shipment of popping bugs arrived in the mail yesterday. Fish are as good as caught!

Ever use a salty spider?

We used to use them for large mouth ... they'd jump in your lap for one of these.

Don't think I have any. Spring is lizard time for bass. Popping bugs for Blue Gill. Blast to catch on fly rod.

Starbucks Grande Mocha

This should arrive by the 5th. Put old one in for repair yesterday

Just found a deal for a Samsung Qi Wireless Charger for $20! My Moto X Pure doesn't have wireless charging, but my Note 6 is expected to. I ordered two of them

That's certainly cheap if it's OEM, but is it the standard type or the newer fast-charging one? The Note 6 will have the fast wireless charging and you need the appropriate charging base to take advantage of that, a standard one will charge at the slower rate only.

This month's Creation Crate was a "Memory Game" better known to us old farts as Simon Says. Got this subscription for my son to teach him some electronics and programming with the Arduino boards. His old man may be geeking out too.

 

[Clementine_3]

Yay, Simon! I like Merlin way much so better though.

Good point and I can't tell you. I'll keep one at the desk and one at bedside. No real need to spend $100 on fast charge if I don't really need it

Well my best WAG is that if they're OEM Samsung at that price they're probably the older slow-charge ones on a closeout, I'd expect the fast-charge ones to cost a lot more and not be discounted that heavily.
I have standard ones for my S5 which doesn't support fast-charge anyway, they're cheap knockoffs but work very well. Charge rate is about 6-700ma which I find to be adequate, especially since my phone is on charge a lot and the battery never gets very low. The slower charge rate is actually better for the long-term health of the battery.

They are Samsung refurbished chargers. Whether or not they're fast charge is less of a priority to me than the fact that they're OEM. I KNOW they'll work.

Now watch: with my luck, the Note 6 come out without wireless charging

That's not likely, and would be pretty stupid on Samsung's part. You don't remove features like that in a newer model. Of course it wouldn't be the first time-
Just be careful if you're planning to put the phone in a case. A very thick case (i.e. Otter or similar) may exceed the maximum gap for the wireless to work properly. Same goes if there is any metal in it that would block the conduction between the coil in the phone and the charging base.

Ok so I'll throw this in here out of curiosity, wondering if there are some hams here who know what this is-
