Everyday Tips with WOW Effect

Almost every week I run into some kind of video clip that has something useful to offer, a tip how you can make things easier in your life, how you can do things faster

Sometimes it is just about how to fix things or just to learn something new. This section is not about magic tricks, it is about smart people offering something that we can use in our everday life. And I'm not talking about the Menthos Coke bomb or using a pickle instead of a lightbulb. Even though I give people credit for figuring this out, this section is more for practical inventions and ideas, that can make our life more fun and convenient.

To be honest, I'm always surprised how people come up with these things. But it is probably the same what people think sometimes about my massage techniques. They say how did you figure that out? Well learning, try to understand, experiement, experience. I guess it is the same thing for other people.

I remember a guy in my class, he did know about all the different things about fire, he knew how to make them different colors etc. etc. He is now working for pyrotechnical company. And I would not be surprised to see one of his tricks on YouTube or Metacafe one of these days.
