Idea I had. I need a case for my wireless headphones with a built in battery so I can charge them while they are in my bag. Earpods and Airpods do this, why not larger headphones?

A Tale of Two Chargers
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was bedtime. And as I was climbing into bed, I was going through my routine of charging my phones (yes, I have two - one for work and one personal.) I noticed that I didn't get the haptic buzz when I plugged my work phone in. It's old and I'm using an off-brand cable, so I assumed it had finally become a problem. I knew I had enough charge to get through the night, so I didn't think about it. I climbed into bed and called it a night.
Time jump to this morning and I noticed that my phone battery on my personal phone was shockingly low. I had been using it during the morning, listening to messages, reading, etc. But still, far lower than I would have guessed. I assumed an app had gone awry or something and I rebooted and resolved to charge it at the office.
Only today, around lunch, did I realize that the problem in both cases is that the 5-port USB hub I use for charging on my bedside table is most likely unplugged somehow and thus neither phone got charged last night.
Oops.

Ah the good ole' days when we needed multiple pieces of electronics to accomplish so little.

Inside the digital clock from a Soyuz spacecraft
I took exactly one course in computer engineering when I was at Georgia Tech, and when it moved beyond the basic diagramming that I could imagine as logic puzzles I relied heavily on my roommate (who now is an engineer for a robotics company I believe.) That said, while I don't understand a lot of this, I did still find it interesting to read!
