There are few things worse than a dead AirTag when you need it. That's why we designed the The 4-Year Battery Keychain for AirTag. It replaces the low power CR2032 coin cell with an included Toshiba CR2477 battery for over 4x more capacity. And does so in a minimal form factor. Assembles in seconds. Split key ring + braided cord included. Easy to open with included tool. Perfect on a keychain. And great for backpacks or a purse. Also available on Amazon.
We launched an AirTag silencing tool recently. We have always made products we want for ourselves, and this was no different - we wanted it for AirTags on our bikes. (Some of us here have bikes more valuable than our cars.) In retrospect though, this also has the side effect of aiding someone with bad intentions to track someone that wouldn’t get phone notifications. We have removed the product and will use our patent on it to prevent anyone else from making one in the future. Sincerely, Elevation Lab
Apple made AirTag randomly chirp when bumped or moved when out of bluetooth range of your iPhone. That's great, but if your bike is stolen - the very last thing you would want is for the thief to hear the AirTag and throw it away. That's why we designed The AirTag Silencer - a patented precision tool that helps you disable AirTag's speaker in seconds - all you need is a hammer. Easy to Use - Remove AirTag's battery & set on the baseplate, place silencer, and hit piercer flush with a hammer. Disconnects the coil that powers AirTag's speaker. Works on multiple AirTags. Invaluable for expensive bikes, camera bags, purses, electronics, backpacks, etc... Anything you wouldn't want a thief tipped off by AirTag's chirp. And its great for pets too - no chirping on their collar in the middle of the night. Also available on Amazon.
There are few things worse than a dead AirTag when you need it. That's why we designed the The 5-Year Compact Battery for AirTag. It replaces the CR2032 coin cell for two uses AAA batteries for 5.5x more capacity. And does so in a small, lightweight form factor. Discrete, minimal design doesn't broadcast that it holds an AirTag. Easy assembly. It has an ultra-strong composite enclosure. IP68 waterproof. Great for long-term storage like an boat or trailer. And a must have for anything of high-value. It is the lowest cost one-time insurance you can have. Also available on Amazon.
Our original TagVault Fabric Mount is one of our most popular AirTag cases. So we wanted another design that was just as useful but even more rugged and fully waterproof. So we designed TagVault Fabric Extreme for AirTag. It's ultra-flexible to move with your fabric. Ultra-secure to withstand hits from items shoved in a bag. And discreet so a thief won't know its there. And features a hidden patented waterproof gasket with an easy screw top design that you can crank down for tight seal. It protects AirTag from spills in a bag & you can mount it on a ski jacket, surfboard bag, soft cooler, umbrella, tent & more. Installs in seconds to any synthetic fabirc (nylon, poly, vinyl, rubberized fabrics and GORE-TEX). Easy screw top design. Perfect for sporting goods bags. And its still great for luggage, purses, jackets and camera bags. Also available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3KOcL0V

Between Microsoft's two-day outage and the FAA ground stop yesterday, there's plenty of ink spilled about who's responsible, why these things happened, etc. But it made me think back to some of the infrastructure and ops teams I've worked on, and similar (though much smaller scale) outages we encountered. Having an ops mindset is fundamentally different from a development or project management mindset. And it took me over a decade of software development to understand why.
I’ve been getting back into the politics fandom this past month.
A few weeks ago I was up late in my kitchen. I've always been a bad sleeper, starting from when I was 10 and would spend whole nights reading books and watching the clock slowly wind it way to when I had to get up and go to

Nathaniel Christopher has a lovely recap of his time at WordCamp Canada. Very cool that the dashboard widget helped connect him to the local community. Hat tip: Anne.
