Aren't they all life-size?:eyebrow:

The kids have to put their smart phones on the kitchen counter at night. My wife sometimes does too. Not enough outlets and a tangle of wires. So I got a USB charging hub and built a wooden charging station to hold three phones. Bought a multipack of one foot micro-USB cables too. Looks much neater and now there is a free outlet.

Gotta figure out what to do with those earbuds though

I like it. Simple but highly functional. You should do a Kickstarter. :)

Looks good, but three stations for four people? Could the ear buds hang on the wall, either on hooks or spring loaded clothespins.

Just do what my Dad does.
Pick up anything which looks vaguely like a cable and put it somewhere safe. Then forget where it is. It helps the economy if your family is constantly having to replace cables and chargers and photocards and earplugs.

Very attractive solution to a modern problem btw.
Probably the same kinda thing Dads would really have done back in his day.

I made a program in Python that runs in the console, that basically allows you to type in a website, and open your preferred browser with that site after entering it. If the site is a search engine, it asks what you want to search for and then searches it for you, opening your browser for you if it isn't open. Otherwise, it just opens a new tab for you.

Not that amazing really, but it's something more advanced than the basic programs I've been making up until this one.

Finally got the last piece of steel roofing up.

That's got to feel good.

Yeah. We beat the snow.

nice!

I made marshmallows! Like real, fluffy, white marshmallows that taste just like marshmallows except my kids can eat them.

I'd had the recipe forever but hadn't attempted it because I just couldn't believe that it could possibly work. The only ingredients are gelatin and honey (plus a bit of salt and vanilla extract, but that's not really germane) and I know what gelatin and honey looks like: honey-flavored jello. Which is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a damn marshmallow.

But there's a process, and a technique, and... I'll be goddamned if it didn't work exactly right on the first try. Even Mr. Clod agreed, they look and taste just like a freaking marshmallow, and he is more than willing to tell me when something is, "Well... good enough for the kids, anyway." They can even be roasted if you do it quickly and carefully.

That's cool!

I've heard there is an actual plant called Marsh Mallow, and marshmallows used to be made from it, but I have no idea if any of that is true.

Today I made £34. For which I worked five hours and travelled four and a half.
