        <h3>How I protected my new MacBook charger</h3>
        <h5>November 29, 2016</h5>

        <br>

        <p>
        A year ago, I brought my first little MacBook Air + charger on eBay, only to find when it got to me that the charger had a gash that had been carefully folded behind the charging box. This was kind of a bummer but I needed a charger and this worked, and I knew the rubber housing on Mac chargers splits easily, so I promised myself I would be gentle with it and we went about our merry way.
        </p>

        <p>
        Six months (and many layers of electrical tape) later, things had gotten a little dramatic. Our relationship was stretched thin, our nerves raw, etc. You get the idea.
        </p>

        <p>
        When I got my new charger (new this time!), I decided things would be different. I did some reading about the cord's failure points and noticed what my long-time Mac-having friends did to reinforce their chargers. I found <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCIo8xGTUX0/">this very lovely video</a> and pulled apart the nearest pen and turned it into a "most-often-pulled-end" reinforcer. 
        <img src="" alt="my charging cable with the spring from a pen wrapped around the end of the cord">
        </p>

        <p>
        I wanted to avoid the kinks and eventual splits that seem inevidable in the "charger slinked across a crowded floor in a coworking space" life that my charger leads, so I decided to give it a covering with a little squish and, of course, a little color.

        <p>
        My actual colors (we can't all be a giant, yarn-bombed fence flower, can we?)
        <img src="" alt="beautiful pink and purple yarn">
        </p>

        <p>
        So I started making my giant friendship braclet/snuggy for my charging cable. I decided to do <a href="http://friendship-bracelets.net/tutorial.php?id=66#h2000/">a forward knot</a> because, well, it reminded me of my friendship braclet days and I expected always going one direction with the yarn would mean I didn't get too tangled, and I liked that the twist would give my cord a little padding.
        </p>

        <p>The sight of me with charger and yarn across my lap brought the people in my train car surprisingly little entertainment*, but working on it made me smile and gave me time to think during the four or so commuter-hours I estimate I spent working on this. Now I have a super-protected, super-colorful, super-easy-to-identify electron-transfering best buddy.

        </p>

        <p>
        That's how I protected my charging cable, and I encourage you to find a charger fortification that makes your day brighter as well.
        </p>

        <p>
        *Although as my project got further along, I did catch a few sideways glances - the sight of be wrapping the finished end around my shoulders was a bit much.
