As my wife did the food shopping, I wandered around our local Walmart and found myself in the auto department (why, I can’t imagine), and came upon a mini-treasure trove of electronic gadgets from a company called Scosche. Nothing earth-shattering, mind you, but just some neat little items that could come in handy if you need to hook up your laptop or tablet to your car for work or entertainment. Proof, as it were, that you can find cool stuff in the most innocuous or unexpected places.

Then, perusing my usual magazines, I found a full-page ad for Scosche which led me to their website – which I promptly bookmarked. Seriously, check it out – they have some great ideas to help turn your car into an extended mobile office, and it never hurts to have secondary sources of power.
