The first thing I have find myself doing on entering a hotel room during a business trip is looking for power outlets.
It is (not) funny how much trouble interior decorators take to hide these "ugly" holes. They strategically put them behind heavy pieces of furniture, behind doors, behind headboards. After going down on all fours and moving these obstacles, you find the outlets over used with wires running to the refridgeratorm, lamps TV and one has to decide if the news of the day is more important than ambient light to get some juice for my power drained laptop, phone and iPod.
Last week in Indiana, I came across this ugly little lamp virtually boasting the two power outlets and a LAN connector.
I did not really care how ugly the lamp was...

Now, that is really usable!
I'm yet to find one of these "ugly" lamp in my travels.
Wish we had more of these lamps or at the very least a couple of power outlets in an easily accessible area - of course they need to be child proofed, if required.
Did the switch at the bottom control both, the lamp and the power points as well? If so, that would be awful...
that is an awesome design.
