Happy Remote Control Day!

Jun 29 2008 - 7:05am

I love a good geek holiday [1], especially when it has to do with honoring one of the greatest inventions of all time — the remote control [2]! I can't even imagine LBTRC (life before the remote control), a time when you'd actually have to get up to change the channel — eeek! Oh grandma and grandpa, if only you got to experience the awesomeness that is remote controls. Did you know that it was Apple's Steve Wozniak [3] who started the company that created the CORE (Controller Of Remote Equipment) remote control?! In my house, we have a whopping six remote controls lying around, so this Remote Buddy [4] vertical remote holder may be exactly what my living room needs. For $60, this color-coded caddy will send a signal to the remote if it gets lost [5], oh and the cup holder, it's included too!
