Clever Everyday Hacks

Post by Meryl » Wed Jan 23, 2013 4:19 pm

Saw this video and can imagine you guys coming up with more. Clever Everyday Tips and Tricks video.

I use an office binder clip to seal bags. Sometimes I make only half a cup of coffee with the Via packet. I use the smallest clip to keep it closed.

The Altoids boxes -- both regular and smalls -- make great containers for medicine, paperclips, pins.

Got any of your own hacks?

Altoids tins are popularly used for small electronic hardware projects. Adafruit now sells prototyping boards custom designed to fit. For anyone who doesn't like the work of consuming the mints they also sell Altoids tins that never saw an Altoid :roll:

That's brilliant that you can buy Altoid tins without the too strong minty stuff. Interesting that it costs more to buy an empty tin than a filled one. The perma-proto tin is very cool.

I've done the baggie over the showerhead. But my husband found a more effective way ... unscrew the shower head and soak it. Less overflow.

THAT's the best HACK of all!!!

PepsiHog. Yep! I drink LOTS of Pepsi (still..in 2021) AND enjoy programming. (That's my little piece of heaven!)

The immensity of the scope of possibilities within Macro Scheduler pushes the user beyond just macros!
