My new power cord.

My new, makeshift, power cord… for tonight at least.

I came home a little early today after picking up my car from the shop. After working for awhile on my laptop it was time to grab my power cord as the battery was low. After realizing I forgot the key piece to connect my Apple power supply to the wall I was a little worried I would be without my laptop for the rest of the night (Not a problem if I wasn’t downloading something, but well, you know).

Luckily I was able to remember a post I saw on Gizmodo a few months ago and was able to take another power cord, shave off a little plastic and use it for a makeshift extension cord for my macbook pro. Yes, the ground is a good safety, but when you’re in a pinch this works.
