Life Hacks Volume I

by Stan Bargmeyer

There are a lot of things I have discovered over the years that make my life easier. Small, simple tips that can help you be happier and make life just a little more enjoyable. I want to share some of these “life hacks” with you. Maybe, like me, you weren’t aware. But that’s okay. Now you are.

How to quickly capitalize a letter or word while typing. This one comes in handy if you want to write sentences that use proper capitalization. There are two ways to do this. First, there is a button on most standard keyboards called “Shift.” If you hold this button down while typing a letter, the letter becomes a capitol letter! If you want to write in all caps, there is another button called “Caps Lock”. If you press that button, you will write in ALL CAPS. JUST LIKE THIS! To disarm this function, simply click the “Caps Lock” button a second time and you return to normal.

How to repair and extend the life of damaged prescription eyewear. I have had to learn this little trick over time as I’ve been a prescription glasses-wearing person for years now.

How to make chocolate snack stand displays. If I’m hosting guests I like to make them feel welcome and find that these easy-to-make chocolate snack stand displays really do the trick. You just take one of those power adapter thingies from a smart phone, set it on its end and tuck a square of chocolate between the “prongs”. I hope that’s not too technical. This is a cute and clever way to add some fun to your next party or when hosting company.

How To Anything: Be Boba Fett

Coma News Daily intern Stan Bargemeyer teaches you how-to anything as a service of Coma News Daily.

A 1998 University of New Mexico study found that the most respected and feared person in the history of the Earth is Boba Fett, the fun-loving bounty hunter from the popular Star Wars films. You can harness the power of Boba Fett by actually becoming Boba Fett.  Follow the simple steps below:

1. You will need a copy of Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back, an authentic Boba Fett helmet, a jet pack and racing gloves (optional).

2. Watch the film Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back numerous times.  Study Boba’s movements, speech, comedic timing and his general attitude.  You will want to duplicate this as much as possible.

3. When you’re ready, start wearing the Boba Fett helmet around town or at work.  For added effect, consider including the jet pack and reacing gloves.  For an even more dramatic effect, consider carrying around a lightsaber.  You’re only limited by your imagination.
