Have you ever carried a knife with you, but regretted not packing a flashlight? Ever try to fasten a screw in total darkness? Have you tried biting a light in your mouth while your hands were full? Olight has what I can only describe as a clever, tiny EDC tool that ticks nearly every box. If you have to leave the house with just one item, the Olight OKNIFE MK just might be my new go-to!
For calls on your phone or computer, nothing beats the quality and convenience of a good headset. You might be lucky if you’re not picky, but I dislike the idea of not hearing the room around me- or people sneaking up on me!

I’ve been using the Shokz OpenMeet for a while, which is my go-to headset that solves all of these issues, but will the Shokz OpenMeet2 improve on that?
On August 11th, 2026, I was invited to a Kickstarter Launch Event in San Francisco for the InfiMaker K1 5-axis CNC, a sleek desktop machine with powerful capabilities for experienced makers and hobbyists alike. I have personally stayed away from things like 3D printers– I’m not creating things to sell on Etsy any time soon. The learning curve seems slightly daunting. I’ve played with laser engravers and copycat CNC routers with varying degrees of frustration. But a 5-axis CNC? No way I’d be able to wrap my head around that. Or could I?
A friend of mine has a pretty backyard with one of those Wi-Fi-enabled bird feeders. “It’s a lot of fun,” he said, “You should get one!” Well, I certainly do NOT have a pretty backyard, but I’ve often toyed with the idea of putting up a hummingbird feeder. What if I could attract hummingbirds AND get them on video? Enter the Birdfy Hum Feeder Duo, which boasts dual 2K cameras.
