Part dock, part lamp, TimberHarmony is a warm walnut home for your gadgets

There are plenty of iPad and iPhone docks in the wild for you to purchase, but did you ever want a little more out of your dock? Do you wish that your dock could provide some form of lighting that doesn’t burn your retinas (your real retinas) out? Do you also want a dock that you can throw a few things on? AloLux hopes to create that very dock with its TimberHarmony Lamp Dock.

As the name suggests, TimberHarmony serves as a dock and a lamp. You can choose to have an Edison-style lamp or have a Mason Jar-compatible base with LED. Whichever you go with, though, AloLux assures you that it “will offer soft and relaxing lighting all night long.” Would-be purchasers of TimberHarmony can also purchase it with or without a dock.

The 15″ by 9″ frame of TimberHarmony allows placement of several personal items, such as your keys, wallet, glasses, and watch, among other small personal items. You can also use it to charge your devices, and once TimberHarmony’s Kickstarter project ends successfully, you can specify your devices so that TimberHarmony is tailor-made for your devices.

Speaking of tailor-made, TimberHarmony is made, by hand, from solid black walnut wood. To get it to look the way it does, AloLux sanded and hand-rubbed the wood with natural oils and beeswax. According to AloLux, each TimberHarmony will differ in color and grain pattern, so no two are ever the same. Interestingly, for each TimberHarmony sold, AloLux plants a tree, creating quite the cycle of life here.

AloLux hopes to fund the TimberHarmony through its Kickstarter page, which will begin accepting pledges on Tuesday, April 22 at 11am EST. Pledging $135 will net you the lamp-only version, while $225 will get you the dock lamp. TimberHarmony is expected to ship sometime in July.

AT&T just made it a lot easier to upgrade your phone

Do you want to upgrade your phone more than once a year? What about three times a year? Are you on AT&T? If you answered yes to those questions, then AT&T’s new “Next Up Anytime” early upgrade program is made for you. With this add-on, you’ll be able to upgrade your phone three times a year for just $10 extra every month. It will be available starting July 16.

Currently, AT&T has its “Next Up” add-on, which has been available for the past several years. This program costs $6 extra per month and lets you upgrade by trading in your existing phone after at least half of it is paid off. But the new Next Up Anytime option gives you some more flexibility.

The Nokia 3210 is the worst phone I’ve used in 2024

Where do I even start with the Nokia 3210? Not the original, which was one of the coolest phones to own back in a time when Star Wars: Episode 1 -- The Phantom Menace wasn’t even a thing, but the latest 2024 reissue that has come along to save us all from digital overload, the horror of social media, and the endless distraction that is the modern smartphone.

Except behind this facade of marketing-friendly do-goodery hides a weapon of torture, a device so foul that I’d rather sit through multiple showings of Jar Jar Binks and the gang hopelessly trying to bring back the magic of A New Hope than use it.
The Nokia 3210 really is that bad
