Power Down: Man Gets Electrocuted By iPhone Charging In Bed Next To Him

Alabama Man Electrocuted By iPhone Charging Chord If you — like most people — go to be with your iPhone charging next to you in the sheets…you may want to consider changing up that routine . A Huntsville, AL man is recovering from a hospital stay after being severely electrocuted by the exposed prongs of his iPhone’s charger. According to Washington Post , 32-year-old Wiley Day fell asleep with his iPhone charging overnight via an extension cord in the bed next to him. The next morning, Wiley rolled over as we woke up. However, the prongs of his phone charger had come out of the extension outlet sometime in the night. As he rolled over, a dog-tag necklace that he had worn to bed made contact with the exposed prongs of the charger head, causing the the metal chain to conduct the electricity straight to his neck. YIKES! A lot of factors played into this one, but still. Try to keep your electronics and such off the bed when you’re sleeping. Washington Post

The Eagles of Death Metal Interview of the Day

I am not a fan of Vice, mainly because they are an “alternative” news company, owned and operated by Fox and MTV, which in and of itself is hypocritical and more of a cash grab by the co-founder and Montrealer Shane Smith, because make that billion when you can, and get that budget to do the videos you want, even if it means partnering with the devil…Hipster is dead, everything is mainstream…so I shouldn’t be a hater about that…selling out to do bigger things…it’s been going on forever, from Hip Hop to Punk Rock to Skateboarding…everything goes to shit…. I am not a fan of Vice, because they used to buy traffic off me, and never paid me….bastards… But this isn’t about Vice, anyone with access could have put out something this good, because it’s aboutt the band and what they say. I appreciate the Eagles of Death Metal, mainly for supporting me back in 2008, and I’m glad they survived an attack on their fans, and appreciate their story about the France attacks…terrible for anyone to go through, the guilt from it being your event, your fans, must be pretty fucking crazy…something that would turn me to drinking…but I’m already drinking…if I had a soul… I think Thanksgiving is s solid day for this….absolute insanity….

Pay Yo Bills–Pilar Sanders Claims Deion Hasn’t Paid Isht On That Child Support!

Apparently her utilities just got shut off and the poor thang had to move out?!?! Rumors have been swirlin’ since Deion’s been fighting his questionable child support amount but if this isht is true, it’s another grimy azz move on his part…or is it? Sources have said that the former Football Wives star has been forced to move out of her house, because the electricity and gas have been shut off for lack of payment. The model, who is locked in a nasty divorce with former NFL player Deion Sanders, is having a hard time making ends meet, according to her publicist Kali Bowyer. Pilar’s attorneys filed an emergency request to get Deion to continue with his support payments. According to court documents obtained by RumorFix, Deion makes $161,565.25 a month and is worth $250 million. His attorneys are claiming the $10,500 in child support is extreme and six times what everyone else in Texas pays. Plus, they claim paying the utilities is not a child support expense. Do you have any sympathy for Pilar or is it time for her to step it up a little bit so she can make sure her kids lights and heat don’t get turned off??? Images via twitter

Biggest Smart Grid Challenge Facing Utilities? Consumer Education.

Photo by mpeterke via Flickr Creative Commons There are myriad challenges utility companies face as we work to upgrade our electrical grid. However, there is one that stands out as easily fixable. The stories we’ve heard over the past year about consumers balking at smart meter installations could have been avoided. So too could a smart meter

Solar Delivers Much More than Electricity – Renewables as Branding Tool

Image credit: Solar Tech South / Chapel Hill Tire As I write this post, I’m waiting for my annual car inspection. I’m staring at a flat-screen monitor that communicates just how much power is being channeled down from the 16.4kw PV array on the roof to help power the inspection. It’s just one more example of why asking when solar will reach grid parity is at least partially missing the point . Done right, for bu… Read the full story on TreeHugger
