The value of this idea will come as no shock...

Do the little things drive you insane?

I love creations that make life a little simpler, or that solve a basic problem that most people face everyday.

Because most of us grumble about things that irk us, but we rarely put our money where our mouths are.

Recently, I wrote about how Ikea's flexible ice trays have dramatically reduced my cold-drink-related stress.  No more ice cubes down the drain, no more broken trays, no more ice flying dangerously through the air.

I can finally (gasp) add ice to a glass without feeling like an incompetent nincompoop!

Well, here's another solution to one of those daily annoyances that most of us usually just put up with.

Ta Da! Rotating electrical outlets.

Obviously this isn't the sexiest innovation out there, but it doesn't have to be.

Why?  Because I bet most of you took one look at it and thought "Hey, I know exactly where I could use one of those!"

Thanks to Sparkbugg for alerting me to this!  If you want it too, go buy your own rotating outlet here.

That is such a great idea that I wonder why no one else has thought of it before - it really would make things like connecting AC adapters or phone chargers so much easier.
