How Many Things Are Plugged In

... in my office. A quick count says 24, although I could have missed a few, and I'm probably double-counting for the placs where one power strip is plugged into another. Seven of those are power bricks.

I guess that says something about what I should be installing first in my new office...

It sounds a lot like my sewing room. Let's see, which is most important -- the CD player or the iron?

Maybe you need your own substation. Whatever do you do when the power fails?

Does the UPS count as a power brick or not? I missed one other brick, by the way -- or rather the oversize puck that is an apple AC adaptor -- because it has a regular plug and cord to the wall socket.
Maybe I should invest in an industrial 12-volt supply with a bunch of plugs coming out of it.
