This modern life
We're almost to the end of what has been a very long home remodelling project . As part of that project we added some space to our son's bedroom, including a new closet, and I had the contractor put a power drop in the closet for the express purpose of having a shelf where he could plug in all the battery-operated things he needs to recharge.
Last night before I went to bed, I realized that he's not the only person in the house who needs that kind of facility - I counted six devices of the non-child variety recharging: 2 mobile phones, a digital camera, my Powerbook, a toothbrush, and my bicycle headlight.
Let's see. Devices in my life that need charging...
Mobile Phone.
Digital Camera.
MiniDV Camcorder.
iPod.
PDA.
Powerbook.
Drill.
Screwdriver.
And that doesn't count the various household items that run on rechargeable batteries. Or the non-electrical items in my life that could still use a metaphorical charge.
