AntiScorn: The Power Strip Liberator

I thought it was about time to add a new feature to TechScorn. Scorning all the time is fun, but not all that useful I guess. I'm going to call it "AntiScorn". The idea is I'll occasionally post items that I think deserve your undivided attention. You may not even know you need these things yet, but trust me, you do.

It's liberating your power strips!

To kick this topic off, I'm starting with the one and only Power Strip Liberator. We all have power strips that are chock full of plugged in devices, right? How often do you have those ungainly power bricks plugged in, blocking other crucial outlets? All the time, right? This is where the Power Strip Liberator steps in.

There are a few different iterations of this cable, but the basic version is about a foot long with a single three prong male and female plug. The most useful version however is the Power Strip Liberator Plus (pictured). It not only allows you to plug in a power brick without blocking other outlets, it also gives you an extra female outlet piggybacked right on top of the male plug. Brilliant!

Of course you need to be careful to not overextend the amp rating of your power strip or circuit, but the plus version can definitely come in handy when you need to add "just one more" device.

That it for this installment of AntiScorn. Let me know what you think in the comments.
