Escape Route

I found myself on College Street this afternoon after an appointment, and I took my camera out for the first time in ages. Far too long, actually. I carry my camera around with me everywhere, but I haven’t been shooting much lately and my photostream has been sorely neglected. Crickets started chirping, even.
Took about 20 or so pictures, and it was like a shot in the arm*. That, and sitting in a cafe writing a letter and two postcards.
* To the point where I didn’t mind so much getting a parking ticket because I wasn’t paying attention to the restriction signs.

The Charge Box

I’ve recently started following this site called The Cool Hunter, and the latest in the Gadgets category looks pretty interesting:
http://www.thecoolhunter.net/Gadgets/THE-CHARGE-BOX/
In a world that is obsessed with mobile phones, PDAs, iPods and the like, we are perpetually draining and recharging our batteries. In-home refuelling is a cinch, but the same cannot be said for public places where electrical outlets are typically guarded against unauthorized recharging. The ChargeBox offers a solution, which consists of 6 small lockers, each with 4 unique chargers that can power 90% of our mobile devices. Users simply plug in to the charger that corresponds to their device, make payment with a coin or via SMS, lock their box and return when charging is complete. The ChargeBox will top up your battery for 40 minutes at a cost of £1. Already a big hit in parts of East Asia and the UK, it’s only a matter of time before ChargeBoxes spring up in a mall, airport, or coffee shop near you. by Harold C via Springwise
One of my pet peeves is getting caught out with dead batteries. I wish airports had more sockets — the last time I remember lamenting about this was at Philadelphia International last year. My US Airways flight to Seattle was delayed more than two hours, and I ended up recharging in the washrooms.
