In a Pinch

Knowing how much music means to me (and my sanity), my husband gifts me most often with related items. Sometimes I make a specific request. This rechargeable bluetooth speaker was one of those.

The name Soundfreaq caught my
attention as it's reminiscent of
magician Criss Angel's
'Mind Freak'

Unlike the eBay item pictured above, mine doesn’t have the colorful front panel (not surprising, that cost extra). But the sound is great. Currently plugged in so I can listen to Duran Duran while typing, it can of course be charged up to take outside sans cord.

This is Mine, the mimicked wood
background an accident. Heh...

That back extension you see above is collapsible. Serving as a stabilizing base, the section must be pulled out or the unit powers off. Some folks called that a drawback in product reviews. I never minded until the other day, having made the mistake of tucking it, uncompressed, beneath my arm like a book.

Ouch...

Doesn’t my arm look like I got a weird hickey? Have you ever been ‘bitten’ by technology?
