Yesterday I talked about using your iGoogle home page to keep yourself plugged into the information flows you are interested in.
Today we stay on the topic of being plugged in, but we switch over to the physical kind of being plugged in. Previously I have pointed out that you should be using smart UPS devices to make your business more green, but this plugged in message is all about making your life easier when you are on the road. In this case the Belkin Mini Surge Protector with USB charger is one of those simple things that once you are aware of it will be something you won't leave home without again.
Too many hotel and conference rooms don't have enough outlets for all the things that need plugged in (at least until the concept of wireless power becomes a reality). This little device allows one outlet to handle 3 standard plugs, plus power up 2 USB devices.
On top of that the folks at Belkin were nice enough to make the plug rotatable so it can plug into whatever type of outlet you are faced with.
If you want to to better deal with your next outlet challenge I would strongly recommend you pick up your own Belkin device and throw it in your brief case for your next trip.
Sitting in my London hotel room with one US outlet and one UK adapter, having the Belkin device is priceless. It lets me run my PC, plus charge my BB, iPOD and Kindle (not that I have too many devices).
