USB Power

Over the years, I've become increasingly cautious around electricity. There was the time that my older brother fried me using an evil trick involving a lamp socket and a hidden lightswitch, and then the time that I almost burned down the house with a forgotten electronics project. Nevertheless, I managed to get over my reservations to pull out an existing socket, install a larger box, and install a cool new socket with two USB ports for our SmartPhones. $30 shipped, plus another buck for the bigger wall box, since my old fiberglass one was smaller than the current standard.
