All throougout time, humankind have invented countless machineries to make this ever-complicated world a little less complicated. And countless times, try outdoing other innovations by creating innovations that carry out two or more tasks using one machine. Like the multi-purpose scanner, camera-phones.
Ever heard of the HammeRuler? It was said to reduce the time for you to put your hammer down, take a ruler and do your measurements. Seems sound; those little seconds that one saves for each action might actually make us more efficient.
Having little to no background on carpentry (but I have hammered nails and drilled holes using my dad’s power drill before), I’m on the fence on how this little innovation could actually save us some time. I’m sure a full-time carpenter would appreciate its merits. But what about the common consumer? Are we willing to pay extra for that few seconds of saved effort?

Now that’s one thing you could do after a breakup–reinvent yourself with a great hairstyle!

I’ve forgotten the reason behind why my favorite series haven’t come up with the new season–writer’s strike. I’m glad that’s over. I haven’t been following the issue, so I hope everything’s been settled on both ends.
On the other hand, I’ve hardly been home to watch, and my little niece has monopoly over the TV, so I don’t get to watch as often as I could. Ah, well. As long as there are reruns… =3

When I was younger and very idealistic, I wanted to get rich and have a business that would employ the out-of-school and the less fortunate to help out. Now that I’m a regular employee, I realize that it wasn’t so simple. In this day and age where even little children are being used to con people for loose change, it makes one wonder if what little you do offer does help them put something in their stomachs. If we think about it, are we really helping these people on the streets long-term?
