A student asked me this question today. They were looking into lithium batteries and e-waste and whatnot.
My initial response was something low, like maybe five or six, but the more I thought about it, the higher the number kept climbing — old phones, key fobs, wireless mice, flashlights, a food thermometer, etc.
I’m not sure I have an official count yet, but the number is WAY higher than my gut reaction. I also thought it was an interesting thought experiment, so I figured I’d ask here to prompt people to do their own inventory.
How many battery-operated devices do you have in your home? (They don’t have to specifically be lithium batteries, but if you want to limit it to just that, feel free).

So I'm on a movie kick after realising I haven't paid attention to movies for a number of years now. I may have seen less than 10 movies last year.
One thing I miss from when I was growing up is when a trip to the cinema always started with a short followed by the main film.
So here's my pr(e/o)mise:
Recommend me your favourite short movies (from any director / year / genre) and I will do my best to track down and watch it (by fair means or foul!)
Also let me know the best way to follow up - add a comment in this thread, make a new post or just shut up (I won't be offended).
I thought it might be interesting to compare notes and ideas.
