    Do you need battery backup? Most folks really don’t.
    Batteries only last a few minutes on a desktop and laptops have batteries built in.

    Bob Vila and I recommend having an electrician install a Whole House Surge Protector:

    You will never need to buy another surge protector again and this gives everything (your home theater, all of your equipment, etc) protection. I don’t know about where you live, but where I live, my home insurance company also gave me a discount when I installed one of these.

    If you really want a big power bar with a battery, go with APC. Their management software makes them the market leader for a reason.

    Go with one of these:

    $187.89 from Amazon. It has a pretty LED screen, 8 Outlets and enough juice to keep things running for a while.

Hello, my name is Jason. Welcome to my blog on the interwebs. You can reach me on twitter @jason and by email at jason@calacanis.com. My Skype is jasoncalacanis, and my mobile phone is 310-456-4900.

I only pick up numbers I recognize, and in terms of emailing me, the best strategy is to write short, blunt and to the point requests. I can quickly respond to short messages, and many times I simply don't have the time to read five page pitches. In terms of taking meetings, I only do that after reviewing an actual product (not a business plan). So, the best time to ping me is when you have mockups or an alpha site. I don't read business plans, and I've never written one.

Other twitter accounts you can follow: Video Games, Open Angel Forum, and LAUNCH Conference & Newsletter
