No, that’s not a typo for pyramid.  The Powramid is probably the best example of, “Why in the world didn’t I think of that?!” I’ve seen in a long time.  You know the type of thing:  take an existing product, modify it in a positive way, and re-release it.  The Powramid is forehead-slapping genius.

Take the standard power strip.  With the way they are laid out, those bulky AC adapters for gadgets use up all the space, even if every other plug is unoccupied.  The Powramid wisely adapts to this modern phenomenon by arranging the power plugs in a pyramid shape so that all five (or maybe six) plug spots are accessible by adapters of every shape and form.  Placing the on-off switch in the top of the pyramid just cements the product’s genius.

It’s the simplest idea in the world, but the implementation is stellar.  Why did it take this long for someone to come up with a way to make a power strip that takes up less space and offers more versatility?!  Surely I’m not the only person who has had the problem of too many big square plugs and not enough space for them!
