Peter Frampton reunited with 1954 Gibson Les Paul after 31 years
The Salt Lake Tribune:
In 1980, a plane carrying Frampton’s equipment (but not Framton himself, of course) for a show in Panama went down, supposedly destroying all of the instruments on board — including Frampton’s cherished 1954 Gibson Les Paul. But two fans, one in Holland and one on the Dutch Caribbean island of Curaçao, as well as the CEO of the Curaçao Tourist Board, were albe to reunite Frampton with the guitar in an emotional meeting last month in Nashville.

Consolidate chargers with this smart solution from Twelve South
Apple's portable devices have become increasingly ubiquitous, with people stockpiling laptops, iPhones and iPods that seem to outnumber the world's available power outlets. The PlugBug by Twelve South—essentially a splitter for the iPad/iPhone charger to attach to the Macbook plug for a streamlined, two-device charging operation—solves a common shortage conundrum.
A wall outlet provides a more powerful charge than the computer's USB, so with the PlugBug your device battery will replenish faster, freeing you from the tether of plugging in and allowing for maximum mobility. PlugBug lets both gadgets charge at maximum capacity simultaneously and, because the design consolidates chargers, you'll only ever need one plug. No need to charge your Mac? PlugBug can be used on its own as well. It's a tidy solution to stay organized and powered-up on the go. Available for $35 at Twelve South online.
Evernote Clearly cleans up web articles for easier reading
Evernote has released an extension for the Chrome web browser called Clearly. Clearly’s main purpose is to strip out the non-essential extras on web pages, and leave behind the article and images. In other words, you won’t see any ads, menus, and sidebars that a lot of webpages tend to have when you use clearly.
Clearly can be easily accessed by clicking on a lamp icon that’s located next to the wrench in Chrome after it’s installed. The new, stripped down page then slides over from the left of the screen. The animation is fairly smooth as well.
You can also choose to change the look of the pages Clearly generates. You can switch between newsprint, notable and night owl themes. The font can also be changed to small, medium and large.
Clearly can even take clips from articles and upload them to your Evernote account. Those clips can then be viewed from any device that has an Evernote app installed.
