My home is equipped with Thomas Edison‘s electric lamps. I can write with my quill all hours of the night without getting any soot on my walls.

Personally, I've always been partial to Nikola Tesla's alternating current.

Oh, don’t get me started on my wax cylinders. Those are great for powering through late night sessions.
