Fundable:<\/strong>
\nA Kickstarter campaign I recently funded is The New York Fabric Convenience Store<\/a>, which is Lucy Sparrow\u2019s art project to sew all the items in a convenience store out of felt and then arrange and sell them in a fully felt store in New York City. The pledge rewards are small felt art works themselves. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Hack:<\/strong>
\nOne of my favorite hacks helps to quickly chill a bottle of bubbly \u2014 very useful when you are a dinner guest. Fully wet a paper towel, wrap it around the bottle, then place it in the freezer. In about 10-15 minutes, the paper towel should be hardened and the wine will be chilled. \u2014 CL<\/p>\n

Watchable:<\/strong>
\nSome thrilling summer entertainment I\u2019m really enjoying is the sci-fi fantasy series Stranger Things<\/a> on Netflix. Think: Lost + Goonies + ET + Super 8. You get big heaping servings of mystery, goofy kids, and scary fun. Basically, it\u2019s JJ Abrams + Spielberg. We restrained ourselves and took a whole week to watch the first season. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Travel Tip:<\/strong>
\nCertain airlines offer very low prices on flights, and then charge for things most airlines include. On Frontier, a carry-on bag is $35-$60. I avoided the fee by using luggage that was small enough to be considered a \u201cpersonal item\u201d (It has to be under 14″ high, 18″ wide, 8″ deep). A lot of backpacks will meet the size requirements. I have a Swissgear rolling bag, similar to this one<\/a>. It held enough summer clothes for a 4-night trip, plus a gadget case<\/a>, a toiletries bag, and my 13-inch laptop with charger. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Stuff:<\/strong>
\nI\u2019ve been dropping my iPhone a lot lately \u2014 enough to make really grateful for my Spigen protective case<\/a>. It\u2019s slim enough to not feel bulky, and the lip on the front of the case has protected my screen from cracking on 30+ clumsy occasions. The kickstand feature is my favorite. \u2014 CL<\/p>\n

How-to:<\/strong>
\nMy two-year-old iPhone 6 Plus wasn\u2019t holding a charge as well as it used it. I ordered the iFixIt<\/a> battery replacement kit for $40, which includes necessary tools, and excellent step-by-step instructions (video and PDF). It took less than 30 minutes, and I enjoyed looking at the inside of my iPhone. (Direct link to the battery<\/a>) \u2014 MF<\/p>\n
