Everyone needs a Plan B in this economy. What will you do if you have to find something new?
Well, I’m all set with mine, and I’m calling dibs on it right here.
I’m filling a backpack with power strips, going to the airport, and renting them. Five dollars per hour per outlet, cash only, one hour minimum.
I’ve even got a name. I’ll be The Power Stripper.
And I’ll franchise around the world.
Yup. I’ll give you a moment to recover from the genius of it all. I know you need it.
However, Matt sent me a link that shows me that my original idea for wireless power may actually happen. eCoupled technology is talking about what I was talking about.
Although, as the Chicago Tribune points out, the concept of zapping massive amounts of energy through the air - and, therefore, through you - is, when you think about it, exponentially scarier than cell phones frying your brain and all those fears.
So I think my Plan B is safe for now. Thank goodness.

My current Facebook status says, "Sarah could not possibly be any more in love with fall," and… yeah. I’ve had an utterly glorious weekend - the kind that makes you wonder how you can possibly deserve it. If yours has had half the friends, family, fun, fresh air, time, perfect weather - and I hope it did - you can identify.
This week’s roundup:
- Health and how my chiropractor is a miracle worker. He’s really my sports medicine doctor at this point. There’s always something. As soon as he sees me he asks, "what did you do this time?" Currently he’s fixing the arch of my foot. I adore him. I know chiropractic is something people have strong opinions either for or against; I’m definitely in the "for" camp.
- Music and how iTunes hasn’t worked right for me for months. I don’t really miss it because I love Sirius and my Sportster 5 . But today’s attempt is because I’d like the latest Fort Minor and Cowboy Mouth . We’ll see if it works after this latest update. (In passing, Apple , stop trying to install Safari every time you update iTunes .) But in the meantime, check out the latest Britney video . Zero artistic talent or worth, but it’s stuck in my head anyway. (Also, may I please look like that after two kids.)
- Money and how this three-year-old blog post is the first thing that’s comforted me in a few weeks. It suggests that the market goes in generational cycles. (Thank goodness I’m young enough for that to be comforting.)
- Science and how I’ve been fascinated by how little we know about the oceans since Bill Bryson made me realize it in A Short History of Nearly Everything (read it or watch him talk about it ). So I’m glued to this TED video (you know I love me some TED ) that talks that.
Your goals for the week:
- Register to vote . Before Tuesday if you live in New Jersey.
- Tell me a secret anonymously in the comments.

Check here for my first recap, complete with photos and the first photos and posts of some of the Hot Bloggers.
And now, check out what Amy and Shawn and Jim have had to say today. Funny, cool, interesting, full of great stories and fun. Much like them.
(And I’m not ashamed to say that Amy’s made me a bit sniffly.)
(Shawn and Jim are a little less mushy.)
(But all three of them are smoking hot.)
(And I may have crushes on all three.)
We’re working on the calendar presale process now. I can’t wait till I can tell you how to actually get your hot little hands on one of these.
