Lock a Deadbolt without a Key
I found this fun Instructable today that shows you how to lock a deadbolt without having the key. I can think of a few situations where this could come in handy: You are at a friend’s house and they leave you home alone but forget to give you a key (or they give you the wrong one). You can’t leave the house unlocked, so that means you are stuck at home until they get back. You can...

Recently, I’ve been having some trouble reading small print on my monitor. After talking to my wife, I realized that my vision just isn’t what it used to be.

So I took my search online and found Glasses...

It can be a lot more difficult than it sounds because Becca doesn’t always want to be cheered up, so I have to sort of trick her into it. Recently she was exceedingly grumpy and was resisting my attempts to cheer her...

So Becca and I had a baby. Pretty surprising considering Becca wasn’t pregnant, no? There is an app on Facebook called Make a Baby and so Becca and I decided to practice some parenting skills on a virtual kid before ruining a real one. So far, things aren’t going terribly well. First of all, the kid is pretty bipolar. One minute he hates bubble gum flavored toothpaste, the next he...
