Gadgets that solve everyday problems

Special note: Are you sitting down? Here's the scoop: This is my last PC World newsletter; the Tips & Tweaks blog is no more; and I'm no longer writing the print Hassle-Free PC column.

For the last 20 years I've had a terrific gig: I got to play with cool products and write practically anything that came to my mind. And amazingly, PC World actually paid me to do it. Even more important, I had all of you--a bunch of friends who dug into my Hassle-Free PC column in the magazine and came to the site to see what I was up to. Believe me, that meant as much to me as the paycheck.

You can continue to see what I'm up to by sending me a note at my personal address, checking my new Web site, TechBite, or subscribing to my YahooGroup list.

Thanks for reading my scribblings and supporting me all these years--and no matter what, do stay in touch.

And now to our regularly scheduled, albeit final, Steve Bass's Tips and Tweaks.

I love gadgets that solve everyday problems. As I look over my desk, I have what seems like dozens of devices that need charging. What to do? Use another gadget, of course. This week I talk about device-charging gadgets, a rear-view camera that I tried out with my RV, and a little MP3 player speaker that lets you play your tunes anywhere.

Charge Six Devices With One Charger

I'm now charging all my devices at once using Callpod's Chargepod, a charger that gets rid of six AC adapters--and the tangled cords.
