Right? Chunk of lucite with my name in it? No thanks. And my favorite one was the "we're sorry we just bought you out in a hostile takeover" gift. I was a temp, and really could not care any less, but still got a nice clock. I still use the crystal etched jar from the pneumatics factory, presented upon successful launch of the new distribution center. And Boeing was pretty good about gifts: we got lots of electronics and stuff like an indoor grill, insulated lunch bag. Cheap but useful.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

I think that mini surge protector is the one Scola has - when our flight was delayed on the way to the PixDesign wedding, he was instantly the most popular guy in the terminal because he had the extra outlets.

I almost always travel with a small power strip.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The guy that that plugged one in at the Miami airport only even needed one outlet. He was just helping out everyone else. Only half the people took him up on it, though. Great idea. Turns out it was four outlets, but really small. Definitely worth considering.

Yeah, I offered mine up last time it was crazy like that. The best airport maps indicate where the power outlets are, so I can usually get to one. And the ones at the gates are usually sparse, so I always let people know I'm adding one in if I can. Sometimes people who are already plugged in will also let me plug in since it adds outlets.

Has anyone seen a good write-up on the form factor differences between the iPhone 4 and the 4s? I am feverishly window shopping for a case for my 4s (that has been shipped, bweee!), but I don't know if the regular 4 cases will work with it.

The iPhone 4s is the exact same form factor at the Verizon iPhone 4.
