• Extends the outlet on the power strip to avoid cluttered by power adapters
• Make more space on the power strip for power adapters

Alternatively if you need a power strip with room for ac adapters this is useful.

Electronic Butterfly
Scratch this joint form the list. Bought one and tried charging a tablet on it tonight. About an hour later the fucker started making beeping noises. When I went to see what was going on I noticed that it was warmer than it should be and had a burning smell. Da fuck?! I'm going to buy another clock with a usb charger but it won't be a Sharp brand one.

I wish they made these smaller and much more portable.
I forget which movie I saw this in but dude stuck a camera on a wall and dipped around the corner to watch a transaction taking place on his cell phone.
Nice stuff
Drone Racing..could this replace NASCAR??
scale them up to the size of say a coffee table so it easier to track and spot with cameras, slap cams and sponsorship stickers all over them and you've got something that ESPN and ABC sports would play that could rival nascar..

This seemed cool for air travel. I see people with on planes with these and I've seen them sold in stores and airports but I never even considered buying one because they were way too bulky to be carrying around when traveling. It would have took up too much space for me to be carrying around all day. This one inflates and deflates so it takes up far less room. It also comes with a sack to put it in when it is deflated and the sack has a clip to attach to a backpack or whatever so that is very helpful. I'm gonna buy one because on my last plane ride I was damn near all the way leaned over in the seat next to me while sleeping. Thankfully no one was in the seat next to me. But I'm sure I looked funny. I still gave no fucks though. Hopefully this inflatable neck pillow will be helpful on future flights.

I saw this the other day and thought it was cool. Seems better than using the cradle with the suction cup that attaches to the windshield that I have been using.

I bought an Anker brand portable charger for overseas travel to have just in case I found myself in a situation where I needed to recharge my cell phone while out somewhere for any reason.
I bought the Anker PowerCore 5000. I bought it months ago for $16.99 at Amazon. Anker says it has enough power to provide two charges to an iPhone 6s or at least one to a Galaxy S7. Slips right in the pocket so it would be there if needed. They have bigger models and smaller models. At the time I bought mine I felt that the Anker PowerCore 5000 was the right balence between power, size, and price for me.
According to their website: "Anker was founded in 2009, the brainchild of a group of friends working at Google. Fast forward a few years and we’re now the industry leader in mobile power."
