Escape room tips<\/strong>
\nEscape rooms are a blast and are now found in most cities. For maximum fun, a small group of people try to solve a roomful of puzzles in order to escape. Here is a quick\u00a0solid tutorial on the best tips<\/a>\u00a0for successfully solving any escape room. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Free magazine for Raspberry Pi projects<\/strong>
\nThe Raspberry Pi is a $35 Linux computer the size of a credit card. Add a keyboard, mouse, microSD card, and a TV or computer display and you have a perfectly usable computer. You can learn about hundreds, if not thousands, of cool projects you can build with a Pi by downloading free\u00a0PDF copies of MagPi magazine<\/a>. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Potty training app for puppies<\/strong>
\nI was immediately overwhelmed when we brought our new puppy home two weeks ago.\u00a0Puddle & Pile<\/a>\u00a0was a mind saver. I log when my pup eats, drinks, pees and poops and the app will predict when he\u2019ll need to potty next and alert me. The more I log the more it learns about his habits and becomes more accurate. It\u2019s not perfect, but it\u2019s prevented a lot of accidents and I can\u2019t find a better app for the job. Suggestions welcome! \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Cutting stone<\/strong>
\nI needed to find a cheap and easy way to cut some fossils out of some rocks. Turns out you can buy a cheap\u00a0$10 diamond cutting blade<\/a>\u00a0for a generic\u00a0$22 electric angle grinder<\/a>. It eats stone and spits out dust, so wear a mask, but otherwise it works. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Precision shots<\/strong>
\nThis little\u00a0stainless steel jigger<\/a>\u00a0from OXO ($7) is angled and has markings that make it easy to pour a precise amount of liquor or other liquid. The markings go from a quarter ounce up to two ounces. \u00a0\u2014 MFF<\/p>\n

Reusable hot and cold gel wrap<\/strong>
\nI don\u2019t get aches and pains often, but I\u2019m very grateful to have this\u00a0hot and cold compress<\/a>\u00a0on hand for when my muscles are sore ($18\/2pk). We used to use clay ice packs but they all cracked open in the microwave and these gel packs are better at holding heat longer. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n
