About every six months I buy something dumb on KickStarter or Indiegogo. A few days ago, I got sucked in on the GOkey. It is a keychain dongle that includes a small battery for a brief charge, a Lightening cable for connecting your iPhone to a Mac or PC, a flash drive, and a Bluetooth radio that connects to your iPhone. There's an accompanying app that allows you to push a button on the GoKey and make your iPhone beep or, alternatively, push a button on your iPhone and make the GoKey beep. The device itself is a little bigger than I would prefer but it feels like a nerdtacular Swiss Army knife. I'm in.
