TIP AND TRICKS FOR MAKING LIFE EASY 12
BEANBAG CAMERA TRIPOD
If you’re a fan of photography on a budget, you’ll
appreciate the awesomeness of a beanbag tripod. Yes, technically it has one
wrinkly, squishy elephant-like leg instead of three, so, if anything, it’s a
unipod, but it’s sturdy, simple to use, and will cost you next to nothing to
make.
Simply fill a cloth sack or bag with
dried lentils or beans, and sew the ends together or tie them shut. Plop it on
the ground, or nestle it on a fence or rock, and say good-bye to shaky hands
and blurry photos.
BONUS USB CHARGING POINT
Why do foreign countries insist on using oddly shaped plugs
and sockets? This is especially frustrating when your child has been stuck on a
plane for six hours and is desperate to watch the newest episode of Blues Clues on your tablet. Well, no
matter—here’s a hack to help all you gadget-loving holidaymakers.
If you’re abroad and have forgotten
the plug adapters, it’s handy to know that most TVs nowadays have a USB port in
the back, which you can use to charge your electrical devices. Unless you’ve
gone camping.
TAB RESTORER
You know how it is—you’re checking out the newest edition
of What Pizza? online, your kid
starts tugging on your trouser leg asking for a cookie, you get distracted,
and, bam, you accidentally close down the tab containing all that must-have
info.
Of course, you can’t remember the
exact web address and page you were viewing, so you have to trawl through your
search history to find it. But not anymore! This simple keyboard shortcut will
resurrect your discarded tab: Control + Shift + T (Command + Shift + T on a
Mac).
Memorize this little beauty. You’ll wonder how you ever got
by without it.
