I did get a little sleep en route, but I made a fair bit of progress on my work during the flight. The two batteries I brought were almost totally used up.
The poll today is:
How should we generate electricity? • Turning a motor by hand • With solar batteries • With lemon and a strip of metal • Ask Iku-san • With a different kind of personal generator
("Personal generator/private power generation" (自家発電) is a euphemism for masturbation.)

Depends on the train station. I've been on 26-hour train rides where power outlets on board were precious resources most of the time (typically only one on each train car, unless it had an arcade car or was a lounge car), so everyone's equipment was pretty exhausted.
Broke that trend on my final trainride with outlets at every seat, though - great since I had just gotten a new laptop then. :D

I'm going to say the more notable people. Hell, I'm going to go ahead and say some of the people who really helped out with getting Kogasa-san to the USA are going to be some kinda touhou.
I don't see what's wrong with asking a random person to use their charger. I've asked people at SFO, and all them have been kind enough to let me. Maybe LAX is less friendly.
On a unrelated note, Japan airline's 787 that's Japan boundfrom Boston has already broken down after 4 days in service.
I've had this happen to me before. I couldn't find any outlets at BWI, and at BOS, all the outlets were taken, or the outlet seats were taken. (Why would you sit at a seat with an outlet if you don't have something to plug in!) Always bring a book to the airport, kids!

I'm half hoping to see them as Seihou characters myself.

This is a lot harder to do when you can't speak the local language.

I'm totally expecting his translator to be Satori or Koishi to account for being able to understand the hearts/language of those crazy gaijin.
My laptop charger has a built in usb charging port as well so I can charge the laptop and my phone or a mp3 player or DS or whatever without having to use an additional spot.
I find it interesting that in Japan, it's apparently illegal (and rude) to use public electrical outlets. See the Pixiv comments. They obviously don't realize that the rest of the world is different...

... call me un-cult and maybe im from a small city, but haint that EXACTLY what the public electrical outlets are there for?, I understand different countries might have different way of seeing things anyways.
Tablet PCWonder if I could get them to recharge mine too...Don't.I used up virtually all of the battery on the flight to L.A.One Person Per OutletIt's because you were drawing 4-panel comics the whole time, right?
