Getting excited about an electrical outlet says something about a person.  I'm not really sure what.

I give you the humble electrical outlet.  Basically unchanged for decades.  And much like the face lifts Jerry Jones and Joan Rivers have had its time to tighten up those outlets.

I saw this over the weekend and I'm almost ashamed how absolutely groovy I think it is.  Basically it works just like a standard outlet except you can plug in a usb cable linked to your favorite device to recharge, sans adapter.

If you're building a new home or remodeling an old one consider placing two or three of these throughout the house.  In a few years you'll probably need more.

Of course inductive charging could make even this outlet obsolete.
