Easiest wifi login<\/strong>
\nThe easiest way I found to share our wifi with visitors to my office or our home is with a large QR code printed on heavy paper, and posted wherever. Visitors aim their phone at the glyph and are then logged in. Easy-peasy. You can generate the Wifi QR code at this free website:\u00a0Pure JS Wifi Code Generator<\/a>. SSID is the name of your wifi, and \u201ckey\u201d is the password. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Tiny bright flashlight<\/strong>
\nThe inexpensive\u00a0Streamlight LED flashlight<\/a>\u00a0is so tiny you have to\u00a0see it<\/a>\u00a0to believe it. But it\u2019s much brighter than my smartphone flashlight so I keep it with me in my pocket. It uses 4 button cell batteries (included). \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Dry clean your clothes at home<\/strong>
\nHandheld steamers<\/a>\u00a0are pretty inexpensive now, and I\u2019ve had mine for almost two years. I never use our old iron. Steaming kills bacteria and removes odors so I\u2019m washing my clothes a lot less. Here is a great\u00a0how-to article on dry-cleaning your clothes at home<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s a lot less complicated than it sounds\u2014you only need homemade spray, a clothing brush or a steamer, and you\u2019re ready to DIY dry clean.\u201d \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Disaster planning for less crazy folk<\/strong>
\n\u201cMost of us don\u2019t plan ahead for losing a job, for dealing with a week-long water outage, or for surviving the night if our home goes up in smoke,\u201d writes the author of this\u00a030,000 word guide for surviving life-altering events<\/a>. Unlike doomsday prepper manuals, this one offers common sense advice for dealing with uncommon circumstances. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Workbench paper cover<\/strong>
\nI\u2019ve become a convert to the well-worn workshop practice of covering your worktop with a wide sheet of heavy kraft paper torn from a roll. Especially useful if you are using a multi-use table. Paper on top, I am less concerned with spills, paint, markers. I can jot notes, dimensions, diagrams right onto the sheet. Tiny things don\u2019t disappear into cracks. When done, the paper is ripped up, recycled. There is no feeling like starting a new project with a pristine new cover sheet.\u00a0200-foot rolls of kraft paper<\/a>\u00a0come in widths of 30 or 36 inches for $20. (I made a\u00a0short video<\/a>\u00a0describing how I made a kraft paper roll dispenser for my studio.) \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Multi-purpose kitchen mat<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s soup season and I got tired of having to wait for my bowl to cool down in the microwave, or worse, the inevitable disaster that happens when I try to take it out with a kitchen towel or too quickly without one. These\u00a0Safe Grabs<\/a>\u00a0are a successfully pitched Shark Tank product and they work as a trivet or a splatter guard. They are heat resistant, so you can just store them in the microwave and use it when you need to pull out a hot bowl or plate. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n
