The human capacity for ingenuity never ceases to make me smile.
We’re surrounded by the greatest technology in the history of the world, but sometimes it’s the little tweaks and fixes by everyday people that really blow our minds and make us say, “now that is impressive!”
And we think these posts about solutions to all kinds of problems will be right up your alley.
Let’s see what these smart folks have been up to!
1. This is so cool!
I wish more historic sites did this.
2. You need to help people out in times of crisis.

3. Cash in those cans.
And help some folks out in the process.
