And I’ve got this bridge to sell…
We are always tied to our phones anymore. The only thing that might deter us from constantly pulling it out is a rainy day, but even then we don’t have a lot of restraint. Thankfully umbrellas have us covered, but they aren’t very conducive to sending texts out if you have to carry anything.
We love our furry friends, and we don’t want them to suffer through the bitter cold or scorching heat. However, some people go a bit overboard with trying to alleiviate the temperature difference for their pooch. Normally you’d just stick some ice cubes in their bowl and make sure they have a shady space to chill out just like we do, but some people go far and beyond what’s necessary.
Since we’ve already hit the subject of caffeine today, we might as well bring up the best version of it. Coffee has all of its various methods of preparation, and one big step in this process is grinding the beans. While you always want the very best coffee, does that mean you need insanely expensive equipment to get a good final result?
Riding a unicycle requires a certain amount of skill. You have to learn how to keep your balance, steer, turn, and move, all without familiar assistance such as handle bars or brakes. This seems like a very convenient method for commuting, but if you aren’t to gifted with balancing skills, you may be out of luck. You can always get an electric version, but do be prepared to open your wallets.
Sleep can be pretty hard to come by. If you have a brain that won’t shut down the moment your head hits the pillow, you likely take naps to make up for the lack of shut-eye. That being said, a little sleep can make or break your day pretty easily.
There are a plethora of ways to watch shows and play games, but when it comes to mobile games, you’d think they would just stick to your phone. Well, we saw with the OUYA that this is not always the case. Of course, the resounding success they had on Kickstarter means that others are going to try and pursue the same path in a new way. That doesn’t mean it’s going to be better than the original though.
When your parents decided they wanted to go above and beyond for dinner, they would normally pull out an old cookbook and make some crazy dish. Maybe it was good, maybe it was terrible, but they would go back and forth between the book and what they were doing a thousand times over to make sure they were making things correctly. After you get used to creating a dish, you don’t really need the cookbook anymore, and start fiddling with…
Most people don’t mind how their toast is prepared. As long as it’s a bit crisp and possibly even warm by the time it makes it to your mouth, it doesn’t really matter, right? Well, we all know you can’t just let things be in the world of gizmos, so of course we have to exhaust every possible way of making toast, including one that pops out your breakfast item horizontally.
Sometimes you get a call from a friend and you can’t hear a word they say. Even though your mobile is turned up all the way, you can barely make out what they’re chattering on about. If you want a little extra help hearing a call, why not get another phone to help your phone?
The busier we become, the less we want to carry around all day. In the past, lugging around a purse or bag would suffice for all of your books, keys, wallet, phone, and so on. However, no one wants to tote around dead weight all day.
While it’s nice to have warm weather after this long stint of cold, it can tend to get a little too hot too quickly. The best ways to cool off are to drink water and sit in the shade. If you’re going to just be sitting around anyway, why not charge up your devices while you relax?
After years and years of advancements, we have super smart computers, phones, and all sorts of other technological goodies floating around. Thankfully, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to operate these things, but at one point, a basic understand of your native vernacular was crucial. Sadly, it’s not quite the priority anymore as we have a whole new language that is surfacing based on numbers and letters: “g2g” and “lol” for example.
There are some high priced items that are on our “dream list” of things we want to own. This usually includes things like houses and cars, but you never know when someone is going to want something that is off the wall. Most of the time these purchases can at least be justified by the amount of use you’ll get out of them over time, but if you have enough money, why not toss it at a pricey item that…
When you need to shield yourself from a rainy day, you’ll grab a raincoat or an umbrella. They’re both usually made out of the same kind of swishy material that are used for tents. While these work fine and well, wouldn’t it be kind of awesome to use tree bark as an umbrella instead?
Do you remember running around in the summer and thinking that the sprinkler was one of the greatest inventions ever? It’s funny how something so simple can hold a child’s attention for hours on end. Sadly the appeal of a sprinkler has worn off since it’s essentially a glorified shower, but maybe that’s the best place to take them?
