Brandon EarlyMore Posts Free iPod Nano Band!!!

I am always on the lookout for cool accessories that will protect my tech. I just came across a couple cool gadget protectors, and they are kind of flashy.

The first is less about protection and more about form and function. It’s called the Loop Wrist Band. If you own a 6th gen iPod nano this is a great addition. I have seen several wrist bands that turn the nano into a watch but this one is one of the best I have seen. Light, silicone, decent price (one for $20 or a bundle of three for $50), safely and securely lock sinto place, and easy to clean. I like how small the 6th gen nano, sad Apple discontinued it. But there are still millions out there and if you are one of those owners post a comment below saying “I WANT A LOOP WRIST BAND” with your email address and I will choose a winner Friday. If you do not win one head over to loopattachment.com and pick one up.

The other item I liked on their site was the Mummy i5 case for the iPhone 5. I have been looking for a slim case with a little grip, the Mummy i5 is just that and looks pretty cool in the process. The Mummy i5 is sold individually and in bundles of three. This might be that cool yet functional gift you have been looking to give this Christmas!

Thanks Loop Attachment for the giveaway! NOW GET POSTING COMMENTS PEOPLE!

** WINNER UPDATE**
Trent Johnson – Thanks for reading, look for your email confirmation!!!

Brandon EarlyMore Posts FREEBIE FRIDAY!

These things are amazing, hilarious, and super fun. The Shock Ball functions as a random timer turning the game Hot Potato into Shock Potato! Instead of a buzzer telling you that you are out you get shocked and you get to stay in. The Shock Ball is a great time filler when we need a pick-me-up at the beginning of our time together or when our small group ends a little early.

I know, it is only Tuesday, but this Friday I will be picking two winners to receive a FREE SHOCK BALL!!! All you have to do is leave a comment below, tell us the summer block buster you are most eager to see.

If you do not win, head over to ThinkGeek, at $14 these things are a great investment…you might need a waiver.

Warning: The Product Emits An Electric Shock. Keep out of reach of children. Not suitable for those under the age of 14. This is a novelty item, not a toy. May interfere with electrical devices such as pacemakers.

Brandon EarlyMore Posts What’s in Your Bag?

What’s inside Cam’s Bag?
Cam, a youth pastor from Kansas and one of the winners of the 50% off shopping spree at Timbuk2, sent over a list of the contents in his new Timbuk2 Commute 2.0 Messenger Bag and a pic for another “What’s in your Bag?”

Cam made a great choice, I have this bag and I love it. I recently took it on a flight and going through TSA was quicker with its TSA compliant external laptop compartment. It unzips and lies flat for going through security without removing your laptop.

1) Timbuk2 Commute 2.0 Messenger Bag
2) iPad2 Wall Charger and cord
3) iPad2 to HDMI adapter
4) extra iPod/iPad2 connector cord
5) Youth Ministry Life by Josh Griffin and Kurt Johnston (download or physical copy)
6) Quitter by Jon Acuff
7) Bible by God
8) Apple Bluetooth keyboard for iPad2
9) Laptop power supply
10) Skull Candy Headphones
11) My Info Cards
12) Sony Bloggie HD video camera and USB connection adapter
13) iPad2 with Smart Cover
14) Dell ‘I really wish I was a Mac’ Laptop
15) Keys to important places
16) iPod Classic 80GB
17) Seagate 1TB portable hard drive and USB connection adapter
18) Sharpie Pens and iPad2 stylus
19) LED flashlight…in case of Zombie Apocalypse
20) Air Hockey table…not portable but still awesome.

Thank you Cam for sending in this post. Check out Cam’s blog at aNewGravity.com.
How about you? What are the things you just cannot leave the house or your office without?

Earlier this month at SYMC I had a few people ask me about my bag so I thought I would share about it and it’s contents.
