A problem that plagues many of us is the inability to plug in more than one or maybe two power bricks into a power strip. Power strips were designed for "normal" power cords, not the bricks that it seems every gadget's power adapter needs. What do you do?

Use a gadget like these Power Strip Space Savers (pictured) from ThinkGeek. Kind of a "short" extension cord with an extra plug so you don't lose the plug for something else. And that nasty power brick is out of the way, too.

Another, similar thing I keep many of around my office are the Power Strip Liberator Cables from Ziotek. They do the same thing, albeit with a different form factor. The "Y" cable is the ones I keep around since it allows me to use two power bricks with a single outlet on the power strip.
