Surge protectors are a necessary part of a gadget-lover’s life, but they aren’t the prettiest equipment you own. I have an ugly gray surge protector peeping out from under my TV cabinet now.

Others have posted their everyday carry bags, so I thought I would post mine as well. However, I am a homemaker who focuses on karate, so my EDC bag is much different than my fellow Gadgeteers. I do not have a backpack or special bag for everyday; I just use my purse. It’s boring and
