You know you have a problem when your editor sends you an email like this:
I’m not saying you should write yet another post about power outlets. I’m just passing this along because I know of your obsession with the things.
Of course, doing something like that is as irresponsible as asking a recovering alcoholic to look after a bottle of scotch for you, so here is the outlet in question, a design so obviously full of utility that it should be a standard feature of hotel rooms worldwide.
The outlet appears to spin like a Vegas slot-machine, only instead of feeding it pennies from a paper cup, you feed it a plug from almost anywhere in the world. I say “appears to” as there is no information hinting at a manufacturer or supplier. The pictures came to us in an email with the subject line: ”iýsÈÅò¸ – ä«ßAäÙå¬çE. Spam, we suspect.
With nothing but a picture to go on, I am enlisting your help. If anyone knows where you can get these things, or (joy!) of a hotel that actually uses them, tell us in the comments, or e-mail me (the link is up there at the top of this post).
