Blank HTML Document
If you’re anything like me, you want to have something like this close to hand and somewhere you can get at any time. I have this file saved locally on my machine in about 34 different folders, and on my Google Drive.

Anker 4 Port USB3 Hub
Not glamorous, not particularly exciting, and not going to set the world alight. But, this simple little hub is an example of a quality product, with thoughtful touches and great packaging.
