Power Bridge flips the strip upside-down, instantly kills ugly
Oftentimes it's the most complex of designs that leads into the next level of a technology. Other times, it's the simplest of tweaks that completely revolutionize things. Take the Power Bridge concept, for instance, which simply takes the conventional power strip, turns it upside down and calls it a day. Designed by Hyukjae Chang, the immensely simplistic device keeps those gaudy plugs underneath the top bridge, and it also makes routing the connecting AC cables all sorts of simple. There's no telling when this thing will finally leave the drawing board and enter the production line, but you can rest assured Monster Cable will figure out a way to throw a "power conditioner" in there and charge two or three C-notes for it.[Via Unplggd]
How to run power to a wall mounted TV
People just love to mount TVs on the wall, not sure if it's just the wife factor or what, but there is no doubt it's the thing to do. There are a few problems though, how high, which mount, where do you put the rest of your equipment, and how to you get power to it? Now, we don't know what the electrical codes are like in your area -- seriously we don't, you have to check for yourself -- but in most areas you can't just run the power wire through walls; and while we doubt an inspector will be knocking on your door anytime soon, if there was a fire, the insurance company might not pay out. But don't worry, there are easy ways to get the job done properly, and if you play your cards right, you'll even be able to use a UPS or power conditioner.
