It’s a funny thing, software. Sometimes it’s not the prettiest of products which work the best, nor even the ones with the best marketing, but instead it’s a surprise coming out of left field, which manages to deliver amazing functionality with no fancy interface and zero marketing.

I wish we had an ‘At Last’ category, because we’d definitely put this on top of the list. The Daily Telegraph in the UK recently snagged a real life, honest to goodness, test drive of the forthcoming Volkswagen XL1 Hybrid car and came out very impressed. Which is unusual for a motoring correspondent. Not a brodering in sight.

You’ve got to hand it to those Swedes, they’re definitely creative in their own special way. Not content with having the world’s first Jumbo Jet hotel, and having pioneered those weird but strangely logical ice hotels, the country has now gone one step further and launched the world’s first guilt trip vacation residence.

Staying warm in the winter is no easy task. There are only so many sweaters and layers of socks you can wear at one time. You can opt for a space heater by your desk, but that only warms the lower half of your body, and is quite loud. If you don’t want a whirring heat box huddled next to your toes, there are classier ways to warm up a room.

While we don’t want our homes to be topped to the brim with junk, we don’t want to waste the space that we have. For those of us on limited square footage, every storage space counts, and you have to make the most of every nook and cranny. If you just like to keep things in their own spot, then you know that organization is key, and you need the right tools to do it.

If you have a hobby that you love, you think about it all the time. Constantly trying to imagine new ways to do things, and wanting to practice your skills in whatever it may be is the highlight of your day.

Cycling home at night can be dangerous, but necessary. There are all sorts of precautions we like to take, whether that be reflectors, lights, or otherwise. However, that doesn’t always mean we feel like we’re going to be seen. You could always deck out your bicycle so that anyone within a half mile radius can see you, but you might want to go with something a little more subtle.

When you look up to check the time on a wall clock, you want to be able to discern the time, and get back to business. If your clock is too small, you have to squint to tell what’s going on, and if it has weather forecasts, temperature readings and more on it, you’ll want to navigate through all the fluff. If you want a straightforward way to tell time, then you should remove all the unneeded elements…and that includes…

We all need to drink more water. Our bodies are about %75 H2O, and we need to keep hydrated to stay healthy. The only problem is that water doesn’t taste very good. Normally it tastes like nothing, but that only makes things worse as you don’t want a lot of nothing all the time.

Storage is really ridiculous. No really. If the same amount of progress had been made in cars as in computer storage over the past 15 years, we’d all be driving around in vehicles that could do 1000 mpg, and more. But no, we’re still stuck with the gas guzzlers. But luckily the boffins keep delivering astonishing data cabinets to help us forget.

Remote controlled helicopters have become a popular craze. With the possible exception of Justin Bieber, they may be the most popular things on earth* (*this may be a slight exaggeration…. Justin Bieber really isn’t that popular.)

Why is it that whenever we have an opportunity to catch up with some leisure time, there’s never anything on cable or satellite we want to watch? Or the movies are lame or the rentals are all out or we’re just plain stuck with trash TV? One way to help find out what’s good to catch is to use the opinions of others, and that’s what this new site provides.

There’s nothing worse than being overheated and working on a laptop. You’re already far too toasty, and the computer isn’t making matters any better. If your living or work space doesn’t come with a ceiling fan, then you’ll need to find a different way of easing the situation. No need to go over the top though!

It’s morning again. This means trudging into work with a cup of joe in hand, trying to make the best of the start to what will likely be a long day. The words “work” and “fun” are often not in correlation to each other, but that doesn’t always have to be the case.
