I read this post yesterday from Paul Kedrosky describing a ‘Power Play’ and thought is was pretty funny.  If you are in the Crown Room at Boston Logan you just saw me on one laughing to myself (the convenient outlet in my table seems to be dead).

pow·er play
n.
1. The head-down shuffle of someone wandering in an airport, Starbucks, or other public place looking for a power outlet.

Usage: Look at the guy on a power play nearly knocking people over.

Maybe I’ll add my own twist to this:

‘Power Plant’ – sitting next to a random power outlet in an airport/station/hotel charging your gear.  This is really funny when another person approaches and asks if they can charge their stuff too wary of being a claim jumper.

None of this will be necessary as soon as the big brains at MIT figure this wireless electricity thing out…
