Wires are a pain in the ass. Am still waiting for the day when everything can be done through radio waves (or infrared, or whatever ingenious method future scientists come up with) without fear of signal interference or degradation.

Why you may ask?

Was looking at the computer monitor while fumbling for my earphones. Looked away long enough to locate the earphone jack, and I plugged it in, but there was no sound. Or so I thought I plugged it in. I traced the wire from my earphones to the pin (if that’s what you call the thingy that you plug in) and found that it wasn’t connected. I frowned, and wondered what the heck I had just inserted into the earphone jack on my computer and OH MY GOD, I somehow managed to pick out the wire that charges my Nokia handphone and plugged that in instead. It surprisingly fit before this, and needed more than a nudge to unplug it.

With the assortment of gadgets I have lying around, this was waiting to happen. Heh, I’m amazed and thankful I didn’t fry any expensive electronics and trip the main power switch. *phew*
