May 1: What’s Under Your Desk?
GreenPlug, the startup that launched its universal power adapter technology at DEMO 08, is celebrating earth day later this month with the “What’s Under Your Desk?” sweepstakes. The contest asks entrants to take a photo of the wire-y messes that support the computers, phones, printers, and other peripherals of modern technology. Three winners will be randomly drawn from all entries received by May 1.
The objective of the contest is to draw attention to the proliferation of power supplies, and of course, to GreenPlug’s universal power protocol integrated circuit. Given the photo below of the first entry received, we suspect the contest may also draw attention to fire hazards and other code violations.
First prize in the sweepstakes is a lunch in Beverly Hills with environmental advocates Chris Knight and Adrianne Curry of My Fair Brady. (Yes, that’s Peter Brady to those of us who grew up watching the original Brady Bunch.) Second prize is a $500 Wal-mart gift certificate which you can use, presumably, to purchase environmentally-friendly products. Third prize is a $250 contribution to the “green charity” fo the recipient’s choice.
