After my post last week about USB receptacles (here), I wanted to provide a helpful hint about plugging in USB devices. USB cords, like any other plug can only be inserted one way. The problem is that we always try to plug them in the wrong way first. Then, we rotate them around and eventually are able to connect them.
To solve this problem, I suggest cutting a small square of self adhesive Velcro strips (available at hardware stores or craft store) on the bottom of ech USB cord you own. That way, you can feel the Velcro with your finger and know instantly which side goes down. This is perfect for car chargers because sometimes the lighting in your car is less than ideal, especially at night.
