I first saw the XXD load-ding mentioned on Acquire. I purchased it from A+R Store, which, to my knowledge is the only place you can buy it from in the U.S.
Some things to note.
1) You should use the supplied 3M stickytape to stick them together. If you don’t and your wall wart doesn’t apply enough pressure it will fall apart in the middle of the night (which is also why the thing doesn’t line up correctly in the later photos).
2) It stores flat for transport, but then the sticky stuff isn’t going to be so good for you. YMMV
3) They have a cutaway for the U.S. grounding cord if you need it. It also doubles as a mount point for a tackboard pin which they sell separately.
4) It comes in three colors: red, black, and pink. I prefer the one I got.
5) You can buy a bunch, nail them into the wall and use them to store pens and such. They even will sell it in bulk with corporate logos and shit.

Beetham Tower
Image by 1hr photo
Beetham Tower is a landmark 47-storey residential skyscraper in Manchester city centre, England. Built in 2007, it is named after the developers, Beetham Organization, was designed by Ian Simpson, and built by Carillion.
At a height of 168 metres (551 ft), it is the tallest skyscraper in the UK outside of London, tallest building in Manchester, and overall the eighth-tallest building in the United Kingdom. The skyscraper is visible from 10 of the 38 English counties on a clear day and is the tallest residential building in the country.
The architect, Ian Simpson, bought and resides in the top floor penthouse, which is the highest living space in Britain. It cost him £3 million. The residence occupies the top two storeys of the building and features a semi-indoors garden containing 21 four-metre high olive, lemon and oak trees, shipped from Italy, and placed before the roof was built.
The tower offers views of the set of Coronation Street, and on a clear day it is also possible to see Liverpool, the mountains of Snowdonia, the Pennines mountain range, the Peak District, Liverpool Cathedral, Blackpool Tower, much of the Cheshire Plain, the Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank Observatory, City of Manchester Stadium, MEN Arena, Old Trafford, The Lowry and Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
It consists of a Hilton Hotel up to level 23 and apartments from level 25 up to the triplex penthouse on level 47. There are also 2 basement levels, which contain car parking for the residents of the apartments. The tower lies on Deansgate and has two postal addresses, with the apartments falling under 301 Deansgate and the hotel under 303 Deansgate. Widely referred to as Beetham Tower, it is also known colloquially as the Hilton Tower owing to the corporate logos placed on the 24th storey, on each side of the building.

Half Dome, Yosemite National Park
Half Dome is a granite dome in Yosemite National Park, located in northeastern Mariposa County, California, at the eastern end of Yosemite Valley — possibly Yosemite’s most familiar rock formation. The granite crest rises more than 4,737 ft (1,444 m) above the valley floor.
Elevation 8,836 ft (2,693 m)
An image of Half Dome, along with John Muir and the California Condor, appears on the California State quarter, released in January 2005.
Half Dome was originally called "Tis-sa-ack," meaning Cleft Rock in the language of the local Native Americans. Tis-sa-ack is the name of a mother from a native legend. The face seen in Half Dome is supposed to be hers.
Half Dome is included in many company and organization logos, including that of the environmental group, the Sierra Club and the game studios Sierra Entertainment.
Half Dome is the inspiration behind The North Face corporate logo.
