I'm not sure if we thought it would benefit Adam or us more, but the past few nights I've been playing a CD of thunderstorms over the stereo in our bedroom to create a nice peaceful atmosphere at night. I had been using my old laptop, and then it dawned on me that we have 3 stand-alone mp3 players, one of them not much bigger than a standard USB thumb drive -- I didn't need to use a whole laptop just to play some thunderstorms! So I busted out the old portable mp3 players (because these days you'd just use your phone, right?). But how to power the player... I liked the USB drive because it's so small, but the only A/C -> USB devices we have we use to charge our phones. But wait, I have an old USB 1.0 (or maybe 1.1) 4-port powered hub! Who needs a USB hub nowadays with umpteen USB ports on every computer -- remember when they used to come with two? So now we can power the mp3 player and charge a phone or 3 right there. I suppose I should add some Mozart to the player for daytime diaper changes in the bedroom too.
