If you have ever struggled to swap business cards without coming across as a complete networking n00b, then this hack is for you! I accidentally stumbled upon this hack at a conference; my pockets were full so I clipped my MOO MiniCard Holder to my lanyard. Someone spotted the holder and asked what it was, so I flipped it open to reveal the MOO MiniCards inside; they got a kick out of it and asked if they could take a card—pretty slick don’t you think? Why it Works… The MOO MiniCards networking hack is pretty simple yet effective for two reasons: First, the holder is discreet yet unique enough to make someone take notice and hopefully wonder what it is.Second, the MOO MiniCards themselves are extremely unique; I have yet to see someone react negatively or indifferent towards them.

Obviously, not everyone asks about the holder, yet people still find amusement in seeing you reveal the unique cards that hide inside.

On September 30th, 2015, the FAA is scheduled to complete its Congressional mandate to authorize unmanned aerial vehicles for commercial use in US airspace — a somewhat ominous milestone next to its estimation that by the end of the decade, American skies will be home to around 30,000 remote control aircraft. It's hard to imagine what that will be like because for most people, drones — as we've taken to calling them — simply aren't "real" yet. We still don't know when they can kill us or where they can spy on us. And we’ve barely scratched the surface of what they'll be doing aside from killing and spying.

More importantly, we're having trouble figuring out exactly what drones are in the first place: The State's Adam Rothstein submits that what we call a "drone" — which lumps military killing machines together with toy helicopters — isn't "real" at all. Their surreal and ambiguous nature goes a long way to explain why drones have been emerging as a kind of cultural icon. Top 10 Things You Can Upgrade with a Little Electronics Hacking. It is a skill to do a good solder joint, it comes with LOTS of practice. so most people who rarely do it will ever get good at it. Bingo. Of course, part of the issue is having a soldering iron at the right temp with a properly tinned tip.

Newbies aren't using soldering stations but a cheap iron they got at rat shack (You have questions? We have deer-in-the-headlights... erm... answers!). I don't expect to ever master tricky stuff like smts or even multilayer pcbs so I'm not much better then a newbie, anyway - and I totally suck at sweating pipe joints. Ah, well... SMT is actually a bit better than through-hole once you get the hang of it. How to install inexpensive, energy-efficient, evenly-lit under-cabinet LED reel lighting | * View Along the Way * Earlier this week I showed you how we created a soft, even, warm glow on each shelf of our still-in-progress DIY bookshelf, all for about $30 total.

Even better – it uses almost no electricity. (I think it’s 18 watts per entire 16-foot reel, even though earlier in the week I told you it was 3 watts. Still super efficient.) Here again is what our bookshelf looks like all lit up with these fancy lights (keeping in mind the bookshelf is still under construction!). We picked up these LED reel lights on Amazon at this link. That’s about 16 feet of lighting. Once your junk comes in the mail, just follow these steps for a quick trip to luminary heaven.

Step 1: Cut to Length If you look closely at the actual strip, there’s a line about every two inches where you can safely cut it. Source Step 2: Stick to Surface You just peel off the backing and the strip is already sticky, so slap that bad boy where ever you want. Imagine you’re a tiny dwarf sitting on our shelf looking out into the office. Girl Talk - All Day. Awesome Wallets. EDC.
