The only answer is to carry everything you possibly can and hope that you manage to hit on the proper pocket array to solve the daily trifles and tribulations.

Among the huge and varied market of multi-tools, it becomes a Gordian knot of options, all of which seem eerily similar, yet different enough to be crippling. The cold truth is that you’re not going to find One Tool to Rule them All, since anything short of a full Craftsman toolbox isn’t going to have all you need....

For a collector’s item, this 1922 Harley-Davidson JD is about as rare as they come in this condition. However, it wasn’t rebuilt just to collect dust in a museum, it starts up immediately and can cruise to 60 or 70 mph just like it did in 1922. It reflects the long, storied history of what might be the most popular motorcycle brand in America. Its rider will bring a one-of-a-kind motorcycle wherever he or she chooses to go, and that is the allure that will be sold this month at the St....
Though their primary job is clearing pipes of blockage, toilet plungers also need to be able to conform to irregular bowl shapes, give you enough leverage to lean in to the plunging motion, and help facilitate the action overall so you don’t need to apply much strength to get the rubber at the head to give way. It should also be usable by anyone, and provide a way to create tough suction deep into a pipe to remove clogs....

The Arcade Providence is a community of 48 micro-lofts ranging in size from 225 to 300 square feet. New retail and entertainment have moved into the bottom floor, resulting in a community-style complex that is open to public guests....
Marcio Kogan, arguably TheCoolist’s favorite residential architect working today, has released another Brazilian stunner– the Bahia House. Kogan’s latest project is based in the coastal city of Salvador, roughly 1,700 km up the coast from Rio De Janeiro. This wide open residence features the continued focus on outdoor living, where the rooms in the Bahia House can be opened to the environment around them using sliding panel walls. Some sections of the house are made private, but its guests are always just a few feet from the lot that surrounds this structure....
The Ignite Straight Six removes all body panels from the original bike, adding brushed aluminum paneling from wheel to wheel. The rear wheel is a solid disc of aluminum, a stand-out styling element of the full design. The low-profile seat, the tank topper, the fork and the headlight cowl all continue the brushed metal theme. Most recognizable, however, is the mass of engine components beneath the aluminum jacket. This isn’t a low-displacement city bike, it maintains the power of the straight six in the original bike, and that’s half of what makes this build so special — the part it left alone....

The only way to dispel this notion of the angry drunk, the sloppy lush, or the annoying dipsomaniac is for all of us who can and do drink like adults to do so whenever, wherever, and however we please. For us, that means having a flask on hand for a little mid-day tipple, an Irishing of the coffee, or a soothing nip after being forced to talk to a lawyer for more than 2 minutes....
Wacom Cintiq Tablet Display In 2007, the industry-leading pen tablet manufacturer Wacom revealed a new device that put the “pen to the paper” in a digital medium. The Wacom Cintiq Tablet Display gave designers and illustrators the power to digitally draw directly on their subject, re-connecting the hand to the medium. Prior to this product, a visual artist would need to use a mouse or an off-screen tablet to illustrate an image on a separate display, which can be a clumsy undertaking for a traditionally-disciplined designer....
HDMI wireless transmitters are a new and still developing technology. What these items do is allow you to connect a transmitter to your satellite receiver, cable box, computer, gaming console, Blu-Ray player, or that Betamax player you wired for HDMI…somehow.
