I just had an epiphany: my life now revolves around batteries!
My iphone is my ultimate tool! I’m constantly making sure that it is charged so that I don’t run out of power and fall off the grid or can’t access my information.
My macbook pro is my other tool of choice! god forbid i forget my power cable at home as it would spell tragedy… I never got the 7 hours advertised battery life, more like 4 hours under moderate/heavy use.
My camera has also been an essential part of my armada since beijingdaze.com took off: I have documented almost every meal I’ve had and every show I’ve gone to. No camera = no post most of the time.
Now, for the new addition, my e bike: Battery life is now dictating where I go and how fast i get there most of the time! If I’m out, I literally have to stop and pull the 29kg battery out, go home and then recharge the damn thing before i can use the scooter again.
oil dependency? I don’t think so…
(yes, I know oil is used to get electricity yaddi yadda.. it’s still battery life as far as I am concerned)
