It takes locations from Google Maps and selects a place for you within your own determined radius. I use this to make decisions for me to save mental bandwidth. I also use it to discover interesting places spontaneously, and to have unexpected experiences either locally or in new city.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-31885\" src=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2018\/07\/matterport-300x213.jpeg\" alt=\"matterport\" width=\"300\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2018\/07\/matterport-300x213.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2018\/07\/matterport.jpeg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/matterport.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Matterport Camera <\/a><br \/>\nThis is a 360-degree camera with an infrared depth sensor that can capture interior spaces and turn them into high-fidelity 3D models. It&#8217;s meant for real estate tours, but I&#8217;ve been borrowing one to document abandoned spaces or soon-to-be-bulldozed buildings for virtual preservation.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-31879\" src=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2018\/07\/cameo-300x112.jpg\" alt=\"cameo\" width=\"300\" height=\"112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2018\/07\/cameo-300x112.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2018\/07\/cameo-1024x381.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2018\/07\/cameo.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2uRpmpk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Silhouette Cameo Electronic Cutting Machine<\/a><br \/>\nThis is an extremely useful vinyl die-cutter I&#8217;ve had for 6 years. I use it for so many projects: putting logos on fruit, making decals for my helmet company, making masks, custom stickers, labels, and signs. It also cuts paper and fabric \u2014 and if you swap the blade with a pen, it\u2019s an automatic drawing tool.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-31882\" src=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2018\/07\/carrd-300x222.png\" alt=\"carrd\" width=\"300\" height=\"222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2018\/07\/carrd-300x222.png 300w, https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2018\/07\/carrd.png 1014w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/carrd.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cardd<\/a><br \/>\nThis is a beautifully-designed single-page site builder, and host to many of my domains. I\u2019m somewhat of a domain hoarder, but I try to put content on most of my sites. Carrd is great for quickly getting content online and making it look sleek, without spending the time custom-coding something \u2014 which is often unnecessary for certain projects and experimental ideas. Carrd also lets you export your code, if you wanted to turn the site into a larger project later on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also mentioned:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www8.hp.com\/us\/en\/campaigns\/latex-printers\/110\/overview.html#!&amp;pd1=1&amp;pd2=1&amp;pd3=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HP Latex 110 printer<\/a><br \/>\nI was actually a beta tester for it, so that&#8217;s why I have one. I can print my own custom Pantone colors on vinyl. It&#8217;s a vinyl and fabric printer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thisisyourboss.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Your Boss <\/a><br \/>\nI\u2019m working on a peer-to-peer voice chat network for people with creative side projects. It\u2019s an accountability network \u2014 a way to get a boss for a project when you otherwise wouldn\u2019t have one.<\/p>\n<p><em>We have hired professional editors to help create our weekly podcasts and video reviews.
