Face it: Those boots you bought this past Black Friday have already begun to smell something fierce thanks to an unholy union of sweat and bacteria. Happens to the best of us, you know.
Fortunately, there’s a simple remedy to your odor woes in the form of some specially designed shoe inserts called Zorpads. Designed with NASA-tested technology, each pad absorbs the pungent scent of stinky feet to keep your shoes fresh for up to 60 wears.
Their sticky bases make them easy to apply, and their compact rectangular shape means they’re small enough to fit any shoe — no cutting or trimming required. Plus, they don’t make a mess like traditional shoe deodorizers, which tend to come in the form of sprays and powders. Simply stick them in place inside your slippers, sneakers, or sandals, and you’ve got enough odor-busting power to handle the job. Read more…

We’re gonna go out on a limb and say that generally speaking, chores suck. (Bold, we know.) But the process of washing windows is particularly aggravating when you factor in unsteady ladders and having to go outside to thoroughly clean both sides of the glass.
It’s no wonder the average person spends $266 on a full house’s worth of window cleaning, according to one survey of Angie’s List members. Dropping cash to have a professional do it is way more appealing than doing the tedious work yourself.
Actually, scratch that. Cleaning your windows doesn’t have to be expensive or labor-some — after all, the Glider exists. Read more…

Apple Store gift card? Please. This holiday season, treat the techie on your list (even if that someone is you) to something with more pizzazz. Something that gets the gears turning and sparks creativity. Something like Arduino.
Now, we know what you’re thinking: Isn’t Arduino a legendary Ice- and Flying-type bird Pokémon that’s known for its ability to command the cold? Alas, that would be Arcticuno.
Arduino is an open-source platform used to build interactive electronic devices — no coding experience required. Featuring a software program that runs on any computer and a programmable circuit board, or microcontroller, that can be adapted for various projects, Arduino is great for amateur artists and hardcore hobbyists alike.
