I came across one of the most practical gadgets for cell phones the other day. It is not only a charger, but it has a little shelf  that is attached in some way to the charger’s plug, providing a perfect location to store your phone while it is re-charging. What a clever idea! How do people come up with these inventions?

It must be a mindset. I know I have an idea for keeping bugs from coming in around your windows when using a collapsible window screen. Why no one has come up with a solution for a product that’s been on the market for half a century is beyond me. The whole purpose of a window screen is to keep insects out, but propping the window open above the screen gives direct access to house for any number of flying and crawling insects. What were they thinking? It’s better than a wide open window, but in the throes of summer, not by much.
