I really do feel bad for Duracel and Energizer; I’ll never go back to disposable batteries. Everything is rechargeable now. The problem with all these rechargable techno gadgets is the CHORDS!

I asked my sister-in-law Emily (sophomore in high school) if it’s normal that kids have cellphones. She made a face and said, “It’s weird not to have one.”

That pretty much means everyone has at least a cellphone cord. Most probably have an mp3 player or digital camera (OR BOTH) too.

I’d bet there’s a plug somewhere in your room, or on your kitchen counter, where there’s a rat’s nest of tangled chords. When my wife and I bought mp3 players, the collective jumble of cords was so hideous and confusing that it led to the brilliant (and easy) modernization of our dresser:

1) Select any dresser or night stand, preferably made of wood.

2) Remove a drawer. Drill, carve, or punch a hole in the back of the dresser.

3) Insert an extension cord through the hole. Reinsert the drawer.

1) Use the extension cord to plug in the various rechargers so you can juice up your electronic accesories conveniently in your dresser!

2) With the Drawer of Technology, you’ve eliminated the need for cord length. Use twisty ties to minimize excess cord.

3) Include a medium sized container to store all rechargeable components.

4) Here’s a perfect place to manage your credit cards, keys, and cash. This way, when you’re running out the door, everything you need to put in your pockets is in one place (and your phone is fully charged!)

5) Besides cords, there are other essential paraphernalia to rechargeable technologies, which are easily misplaced. Include a small container to store SD cards, memory sticks, and converters.

Modernize your dresser with a Drawer of Technology. You’ll feel noble for helping fight the growing problem of pollution: rechargeable cord pollution.

That’s right. Your H2 Hummer looks like an Ice Cream truck. There is nothing “sporty” or “utile” about it, unless you’re delivering frozen foods or large sums of cash. It even has those yellow lights on the top corners like armored vehicles and diesels.

Some people like them. Why? I’ve wanted to puke EVERY time I’ve seen one, from the most basic to entirely pimped out. Nobody would think they’re hot rolling around town in Schwann’s Ice Cream truck, so why did you buy that Hummer H2?

I’m not being environmental or socialist, it’s just undeniably the ugliest car ever created. Imagine how stupid the car on the top would look off-road. It’s a large piece of equipment for transporting valuables. Not an hip design for an SUV.
