Geekology » Electroman & Hubman to the Rescue
The other day, on our Williamsburg P’tit Louis gift excursion, YZ and I sidetracked into Dijital Fix (in the Bedford Mini-Mall) for a quick peruse… Faced with geeky accessories galore, I couldn’t help but buy these two office helpers from ever-innovative Kikkerland. The Hubman is now smiling happily beside my Mac, charging the iPhone, connecting my zip drive, powering the keyboard light and serving as a nifty mouse-cord-extender when Goobie the Cat decides to snooze in one of his favorite spots: right in front of my computer screen. The Electroman is sitting against the wall like a sci-fi Raggedy Ann with four limbs ending in four outlets. As an ardent hater of extension cord design, this guy was a real diamond-in-the-rough find (his little brother, Hubman, has been on my Want-It list for a while now). Now, if only they came in colors. Speaking of which: should any of you out there (hello?) know of a company that carries colored extension cords (I already know about the big industrial orange ones, BTW) please… leave me a trail of breadcrumbs…
ohh I’ve wanted that electroman for so long but why is he $25?? I think I’ll have to settle for drawing faces on my surge protector :(
here are two places for neon ext. cords! http://cableorganizer.com/extension-cords/cool-color-outdoor-extension-cords.html and http://www.powerplayproducts.net/9-ft.-3Outlet-Designer-Household-Extension/M/B0018S4XYM.htm

Hello there Fionna! Thank you so much for the extension cord links! I’d seen the first (25 ft – yikes!) but hadn’t found the Power Play cords & they’re perfect!
Regarding Monsieur Electro, the best price I could find (although currently out of stock – est 1-3 weeks) is $19.99 at ThinkGeek. I also found a coupon code for the site (9ECA) which lops off another $5… so… that’s not too bad!
Best,
Lo.
