If you’re a parent and have ever had the pleasure of vacuuming kinetic sand from your carpet, or even trying to get it all in a broom pan, you probably already know where this article is going to. Sure it’s a great way to keep the kids quiet for a little bit but in my experience (and almost every other parent I’ve talked to) the clean up is not worth it. It’s one of those toys that kids will outright beg for at the store. I mean, everyone loves crafts, the colors are cute (unless you mix them), and you’re…

Tech Projects Worth Trying If You Love Building Things Building a tech project feels different from using a finished device. There’s something satisfying about starting with a handful of parts, solving a few problems along the way, and ending up with something you built yourself. Hands-on projects teach useful skills and leave you with something tangible. You might make a sensor, assemble a computer, build a small robot, set up a retro game console, or create a useful part through 3D printing. You do not need years of experience. A clear goal and patience are enough to begin. Choose a Project…

There’s a specific moment every hobbyist-turned-obsessive hits. You’ve built the spreadsheet. You wrote the little script that checks a restock page every ninety seconds. You’ve got Discord webhooks firing into a channel only you can see. And then one morning you open the terminal and the site that’s been happily serving you data for three weeks says: Access denied. Congratulations. You’ve been rate-limited, IP-flagged, or politely shown the door by a bot detection system. Welcome to the part of the hobby nobody puts in the tutorial. This is usually where people discover proxies — and where a lot of them…

Crayola Color Wonder markers are and will always be stupid. A total waste of money and resources. It’s interesting to see what companies can come up with when their own product is the competitor. Presenting: Crayola Color Wonder Markers! Who needs washable markers when you can sacrifice fun and usability for not having to worry about washing anything at all? It’s the coloring set for people who are just too busy to have to worry about a kid making a mess and then them having to clean it up. But also, who has the money to buy special equipment for…

A SaaS explainer video should answer a precise question at a precise point in the funnel. Awareness viewers need to recognize the problem. Evaluation viewers need to understand the mechanism and trust the product. New users need to reach first value. One video rarely performs all three jobs well. A source-driven Explainer Video Engine such as TapVid can turn existing creator content such as prompts, PDFs, product links, or scripts into a reviewable motion-graphics draft, but a durable SaaS video still needs approved claims, accountable review, and an update policy. This guide is for SaaS marketers and product teams making…

Warrior Cats has been a fandom for about two decades now and fans of the series, if you meet any, are absolutely diehard. For years fans have imagined what the Clans would look like if they were animated in a television show. Some fans have gone so far as to animate scenes from the books and post it on YouTube, and some have made some really great music videos. Believe me, my daughter has shown me most of them. Now that we’ve gotten wind of a show actually happening many were left wondering if the animation would do the show…

When you think of Roblox what do you think of? Is it black and white and either just bad or great to play? I would suppose it’s based on how much/long your kids play. I know that some games are marketed as a good teaching tool. Like ABC Mouse or Khan Academy. Then there are ones that you pay for like Night Zookeeper or Adventure Academy. I’ve actually tried all four of these and while they do teach your kids basics like math and writing, they won’t teach them actual job skills. Usually each segment is one and done and…

The Cat in the Hat has long been a children’s staple book. I don’t think there was a kid alive that didn’t know who he was when I was little. Between the cartoon and the later film that starred Mike Myers you’d know him in some form. And there were also elementary school teachers that went full Dr. Seuss with their classrooms. Anyway all this to say that when you think of The Cat in the Hat you think of a wholesome story about a couple of bored kids on a rainy day. You definitely don’t think that he’d be…

Hello Kitty is probably one of the best known Japanese franchises in the United States. That and Mario Bros, various anime and of course, Kaiju. A new announcement from McDonalds has a couple of those things, and as a mom who loves Hello Kitty with a daughter who’s super into Godzilla, it feels like these toys were made just for us. The date in the posts says August 18th which is only a week away. Now I don’t usually need an excuse to go to McDonald’s. It’s an easy meal I know the kids will eat. But now I want…
