Powering to the Future: USB-izzle
So, this weekend, I had a conversation with a friend about a very simple problem. The USB port on his computer broke, and he wasn't sure how he would easily be able to charge his phone near his bed. First world problems...I know. He didn't want to by a wall plug charger, and needed his phone nearby to use as an alarm while he took a nap. Conundrum...
Alas, technology allows us to improve upon ourselves every single day. I caught this little product from ThinkGeek.com. It is a U-Socket USB Wallplug. Essentialy, it bogarts power from the wall plug through the USB port into your phone (or other gadget).
Imagine the power you will have, being able to USB your shiz-it into the wall! Wow! Actually it is really cool and useful. That's pretty much it...check it out.
