This rain has given me a lot of time to work on my little Sprite project. Every time that I fix one thing, I find something else to fix. Sometimes I concentrate on just doing something little, like the windshield washers, just to make sure I have some successes. Then I decided to bleed the brakes and discovered that one of the axle oil seals was leaking which of course, turned a relatively simple project into a major adventure in British auto engineering. Nevertheless, the few times I have been able to dodge the rain it has been fun tooling around in this car.

I am still playing with the beta versions of Maverick and iOS 7 and I think you are going to love the new features and performance. I particularly like the new notifications that I get each morning on my iPhone. This morning it said “It is raining today; if you leave right now, it will take 26 minutes to get to work and the first thing on your calendar is the retail call, it looks like you have a busy day…” There are times that I wonder how I ever managed my life without my iPhone and Apple keeps making it more and more useful. I left my iPhone at work one day and had such bad withdrawal symptoms, I had to jump in the Sprite and drive back to the office to get it.

  • Brenthaven Spotlight

    We like to carry products that jive with our own mission statement, and a company like Brenthaven is right up our alley. For those of you who haven’t heard of the company, Brenthaven has been around since the 1980s, and they started by developing outdoor packs. That history speaks directly to the quality of their products found in production today. If it’s tough enough to take hiking through mountains, then I trust my everyday products not to not fail on me.

    Brenthaven has a triple bottom line like we do. First, they offer “Legendary Protection Systems.” Nothing is worse than dropping your portable devices and literally picking up the pieces afterward. Brenthaven offers bags and cases that help to protect your stuff from these types of incidents. Next, Brenthaven offers the “100% lifetime guarantee” on their products. With the rough and tumble day-to-day our lives can have, it’s nice having that peace of mind. The final piece, and the one I like the most, is their “Zero Impact” standard. They accomplish this in three ways: They make a product that will last a lifetime, they use environmentally friendly materials in their build process whenever possible, and when they can’t, they offset that with investments in green initiates.

    You can find their bags and cases in any of our retail stores or on our website. Also, as a big thank you for all of our readers of Kibbles & Bytes, we are offering exclusive deals on select cases by Brenthaven. Check out our specials below, and if you are interested in learning more about Brenthaven, check out their website “*here.*”:http://www.brenthaven.com/why-brenthaven

    Also, I just made this really cool video clip showcasing the quality of material Brenthaven uses in their iPhone cases. The foam on the left is the standard stuff used in your average case, and the foam on the right is Brenthaven’s; you can check out the clip “*here.*”:https://images.smalldog.com/productmov/brenthaven-drop-test.MOV This demo is in all of our retail stores so if you’re local, come on down and try it for yourself.

  • Mac Treat #211: Including Extensions in Contacts Addendum Addendum

    Looks like we have an addendum “*to our addendum!*”:http://blog.smalldog.com/kibbles/kb835/ Here’s a tip from our friend and partner-in-marketing crime, Pat H.:

    __”A quick note on your follow-up on phone extensions in this week’s newsletter — the Mac can dial extensions too, just a little differently.

    To keep my contact info the same on my Mac and my iOS devices, whenever there’s a phone extension I just enter two commas and the extension after the phone number, and that does the trick for most telephone systems. (There are a few that require a 3-comma pause.)

    This actually works across platforms, and I’ve used it for 30 years now, starting with Sidekick’s auto-dialer!”__

    Give it a try! We’ll be back next week with a new Mac Treat for you. Enjoy your weekend!

  • SPECIAL | Apple 2TB Time Capsule

    Apple released a new Time Capsule, which means we have last year’s 2TB Time Capsules still in the plastic wrap that we need to move.

    To do that, we lowered the price way down to $239.99! That is a $60 savings when compared to buying a current generation 2TB Time Capsule — and to sweeten the pot, we are also offering FREE SHIPPING on the first week of the promotion.

  • Recycle Your eWaste for FREE: July 27

    Just a couple of weeks until our 4th Annual eWaste Recycling Event goes down in Manchester, NH. We’ll be collecting all manner of electronic waste (well, maybe not __all,__ so “*see the list of accepted materials here.*”:http://www.smalldog.com/recycle?utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=KB-ewaste) on Saturday, July 27th at the Mall of New Hampshire from 9am – 2pm.

    If you’re unsure of what ewaste is, then listen up. As you may know, we use a lot of electronics in our daily lives, and unfortunately, many of them contain hazardous materials such as mercury or lead. In the last few years, Apple has manufactured devices and machines free of toxic materials, but chances are, you may have older “electronic waste” around the house that you need to get rid of responsibly.

    Come out and join us!
    * Saturday, July 27, 2013 in Manchester, NH *from 9AM to 2PM*
