Cool tools really work.
A cool tool can be any book, gadget, software, video, map, hardware, material, or website that is tried and true. All reviews on this site are written by readers who have actually used the tool and others like it. Items can be either old or new as long as they are wonderful. We post things we like and ignore the rest. Suggestions for tools much better than what is recommended here are always wanted.

I absolutely love listening to vinyl records on my Sonos turntable and speaker. It’s a bit pricey, but the craftsmanship and sound quality of Sonos are second-to-none. I’m listening to Simon and Garfunkel’s greatest hits while creating this post right now!

Picstudio has been one of the best AI sites I’ve found to create amazing portraits and headshots with a huge variety of themes, helping with your social media profiles without having to hire a professional photographer. My family couldn’t tell my images were created by AI!
When your kids go away to college, you’ll want to make sure you maintain power-of-attorney for medical decisions. We trusted Mama Bear Legal Forms to help secure multi-state legal documentation to protect our kids in the event of a medical emergency while being out-of-state and away from home.

“Be patient, but don’t wait.”
My son and his best friend were having a discussion when his friend offered this simple yet profound piece of advice. I’m often amazed when someone cites and impressive quote or one-liner, but it’s even more profound when it comes from this younger generation! You can view ithere.
