Juice!

I was sitting at Panera reading Slashdot, when I read this article by CowboyNeal pointing to a wonderful NY Times article called you can read here.

Ironic because at the time I was waiting for another table to open so that I could plug in my laptop that had just announced a low battery.

I can certainly relate to the issue of finding places to plug in. At only $0.01 to $0.02 per hour to operate or charge a laptop (even my behemoth Dell 9100) I don't exactly feel that I owe the business anything for the privelege. I figure I gave them more than $0.02 back when I declined the tomato on my sandwich.

I have also begun to collect a database, if only in my head, of electrical outlet locations at businesses around the country. Maybe I should start a website to help road warriors.
