Electrical Freedom of Expression

Loiuie

Louie Louie, oh no
Me gotta go
Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said
Louie Louie, oh baby
Me gotta go

The electrical anit-free-speech nazis like Louie the Lightning Bug here would not like my previous method of expression. In my bedroom there is one electrical outlet with no ground. In order to plug the things in that I need to either wake-up or have charged I need to be somewhat creative. I have a clock-radio, a cell phone, a palm-pilot and an Ipod. Three of these (ie. not the alarm clock) are larger plugs and therefore “use� more than one outlet (ie. they cover over their neighbours.) And so a regular extension cord would not do the job. So here was my solution. And the Louie’s Nazis were not too impressed. Where is my freedom of electrical expression?

outlet nightmare

And so I re-routed all the electrical cables behind my desk. (For the desk lamp, the cable modem, the switch, the Mac Mini, the monitor and the stereo) and was able to move the extra power bar to my room. Now Louie can really go now because he has killed the electrical spirit in me.
