Kind-a Slick… for Sure

I have no idea how many others have discovered it, but my somewhat new computer has a little symbol down in the lower left corner. It’s kind of slick. Whenever I have the yen I move my mouse over it and a bunch of stuff pops up. Most of it I have no interest in but there is so much of it that some of it has to be good, really. If I’m not careful, I could just look at them for hours.

Some of it are excerpts from news programs. I’m careful to stay mostly to FOX news articles. However, now and then I will watch one from some other stations. Mostly, it will make me repentant.

Some are just of interest. I watched two men build an underground house quickly with not much more than shovels and axes. This in just a few days. After, the house was pretty nice, but they sort of missed plumbing and electricity. There are many others that make things in more conventional ways, but also very fast. A few men built a bungalow with not more than a chain saw that looked very nice.

Then there are the neat little ideas. One was made from a plastic tube and magnet in the end of it. The maker used the thing to hold nails while he hammered them in. If I had thought of something like that, I would have saved myself many a sore thumb.

A lot of the ideas are very good, but I can’t use them. They use welding. I saw one guy use his welding skills to rebuild car’s broken CV Joint. I had to really admire the guys skill. However, I would have had to just buy one.

They have a lot of stuff on planes and electric vehicles. Not all are videos but most at least have a photo or two and a short article to read. I guess in a way, it is something like an electronic news/magazine.

I do have to be careful though. I can end up looking at it for hours, sort of like I did with TV, you know, when was it was still informative and entertaining.
