Assuming a user is opening their phone around forty times a day (the average is thirty-nine), that works out to approximately two minutes per day. Okay, maybe that still isn’t all that much time. At least…not by traditional standards. I guess we’re just a bit more impatient these days than we used to be. Anyway, Motorola apparently thought that two minutes a day to access one’s smartphone is two minutes too many....

The margarita, an ultra-popular tequila-based cocktail, may be something almost everyone knows (and drinks), but tequila has never been a top feature when it comes to liquor supremacy. Back in the day, tequila was something you would drink on a dare or take as shots during happy hour, either with a lick of salt or a wedge of lime or both, and regret it the morning after.

In a few cases, one person’s trash is another one’s treasure, but more often than not, one person’s garbage is just another person’s garbage. Unless you know someone of a deeply creative mindset who is able to transform all that wasted junk into something glorious and transcendent. One of the tremendous things about art is it’s meant to be enjoyed forever, not used up.

Unfortunately, most of our marriages and relationships tend to run badly, hurt as much as they help, leave us feeling lonely, and end with our stuff in the yard, on fire. Combating this and being able to live with the person we profess to love is as important as oxygen.

All you need to do is fill the kettle, toss it onto a stove, and you’re good to go. Even better, you can use it at all hours of the day; unlike camping-grade solar panels, it’s capable of being used both day and night. Tell me that isn’t pretty much the most awesome thing you’ve heard today. You’re probably lying if you say it isn’t.

This device isn’t just a pretty face, either – it’s probably one of the most powerful music systems you’ll ever use.
