chebe | Brief musings

I passed my driving test recently. The world of driving alone is a strange one. It's much quieter for one. So I've started playing my music, loudly. But, then I realised I had to get a charger for my music player. I managed to get one, for about €20, that is completely modular. It's kinda awesome. You've the bit that fits in the lighter slot, and ends in a female USB port. Then on a doubly retractable cable is the male USB port on one end, and a different male port on the other. This last one connects into eight different connectors! More than even I need. I lost the charger for my phone a while back, now I have a connector so I can charge the phone in the car, or from a laptop! It also came with a micro USB (which I couldn't find anywhere else), that I can use to charge the Fabrickit rechargeable coin-cell battery, that for some reason is micro USB from SparkFun, but shown as mini USB on the FabricKit site. Such a cheap, cheerful, and ultimately helpful little device, that only crossed my path because I passed my driving test. It's a funny old world.
