It?s more like spaghetti. It?s a pile of wires. You?ve got power cords, USB cables, A/V cables, and other A/V cables. It?s a big, old, nasty mess. We thought of a way to fix it, and on this edition of Geek Brief, we show you how to turn your gadget chaos into gadget nirvana. Shoe Organizer, Container Store Power Squid, Think Geek Song by Geoff Smith http://www.geekbrief.tv/gbtv-0247-geekbrieftv-2 I built a gadget charging station out of an inexpensive shoe organizer. It worked fine, but we wanted something that looks better in the house. We found the Cava Wine Bar at Cost Plus World Market for $200. Not only did it have slots for more gadgets, it matched the other furniture we use on the set. Rather than drilling holes in the back of each cubby like I did on version one, I drilled holes in the bottom of each level so they are inconspicuous. The slots are open at the back, so I was able to get by with just a few holes. If I was starting from scratch, I would have drilled the holes in the back corners rather than in the middle to make the charging wires even more hidden. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
