“Charging In The Dark: Right Side Up For Cell Chargers”

Simply affix small felt pads to the front side of your charger. Now when you grab your charger you can instantly recognize which side is up without having to look at the charger, just by feeling the texture.

I’ve been meaning to do that for a while (except I wanted to find fluorescent stickers, but I’m just realizing that would be overkill), but it boggles the mind that Apple, with all its attention to detail — and to disabled users — still hasn’t thought to have a dimple, ridge or whatever on one side of the plug.

I’m guessing you’re supposed to only use docks… but that isn’t appropriate to all cases (e.g., watching a movie in bed with the iPad plugged in because the battery’s low).

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
