Squidley Diddley

My husband is kind of a media junky and he likes to keep our home WiFi-ed, HiFi-ed and TiVo'ed at all times. I would be lost without the internet and Uncle TiVo is the best, however, I really hate the cords and wires that nest in the corners of my house. I'm sure there are many very expensive high tech ways in which we could trick-out our home and hide/eliminate these unsightly connections; however we probably shouldn't dispose of anymore income on home entertainment.

So while we wait for our winning lotto numbers or that great stock market windfall, I found something called the PowerSquid. First of all the name is terrific. I'm a big fan of snorkeling and I love grilled calamari so, needless to say, the concept goes a long way with me. In fact, it does look a lot like a squid. It seems our old friend the power strip has evolved into a dynamic power delivery device that I can use for a lamp, a TV, my laptop, and my DSL. The flexible design and power surge protection makes the cords and wires much easier to manage and much safer. Now if I could just figure out what to name it.

Good Luck and Good Shopping
