Today in my ongoing series of photos from my travels over the years: a coiled cable-keeper in a shop in Melbourne (though the coil bore a label saying MADE IN USA).

I've been responsible for more than my share of truly ugly cable-runs with sudden drops in the middle of the room where the data needed to be — a handsome little gizmo like this could have made my fugly hacks into decor.
