Harvesting the latest crop of wiring nightmares!

Apparently the call to simplify and to achieve “more with less”, thus bringing about more order and sanity, is often lost amid day-to-day IT and electrical implementation chaos.

The goal of this series (other than to simply entertain) is to raise awareness about the abundance of tangled messes in the world and to establish the humanitarian fund dedicated to eradicating this blight entirely from the face of our Mother Earth. (well… maybe not, but in any case… take a picture of some private miserable mess which you face every day and send it to us!)

Enjoy new collection of pics that we’ve received from concerned readers; first is a sampling of Bangkok wiring (again!), courtesy of PolarInertia, photography by Thomas Kalak.
