    I've been trying to find a good, portable impact printer for ages that has relatively easy to source paper. In a dream-scenario, I'd be able to cut A4 or 8.5x11 in half vertically …

    Might be a little slower than the estimate they're calculating. I timed myself at nine minutes, but others were faster than me. You should time it, though. I wouldn't worry about t…

    there are a handful of neat mods. For color and better waterproofing, you can tint mineral oil with an oil based dye [1] and have any color you want. With my own, I 'turned off' th…

    I got this from samyk, actually. I wouldn't use iconic lyrics like this and you don't have to use a full line or even a natural ending. You don't even have to use lyrics from a ban…

    this is my dream! I used to use a Pebble watch for grocery lists, but the display is just too small for a larger list. It would be fantastic to have something that is basically a h…

    I really wish they'd bring these in for Google Sheets, too. There are times where I want to sex up a sheet but don't want to bring in external images.
