WirePod Power Strip is Curly-Wurly Piece of Kit

Designed for US firm Artechnica, Joris Laarman's power pod truly is a thing of beauty.

It looks like it's still in development, but this could be a life saver for everyone struggling with bulky and inconvenient sockets. No talk of pricing on the product site yet, but I would expect single-plug pricing as well as common adapter package deals to be available. – Karson Thompson More »

Power Aware Cord: Glowing Guilt

Maybe if you could actually see how much energy you're using, you wouldn't leave that PC running all night. That's the idea behind the Static Energy+Design Network's Power Aware Cord, a power strip whose connecting cable glows and pulses.
