Multi-speed hipness

This is another one that I thought might only pertain to the ladies. As I scan my friend bank though, I feel like this might apply to everyone.

The idea is for you to go buy yourself a drill. It doesn't have to be expensive, somewhere in the $30 range. Just a little battery powered, hand-held number. Department stores sell them. Hardware stores, too. And let me tell you, a trip to your local hardware store can be an awesome time. Screw date night.

But anyway, get yourself the drill and a set of (again) inexpensive drill bits. You know; phillips, regular, maybe a few different size drills.

You'd be amazed how much you can accomplish with such a little tool. Putting together furniture goes quicker, you can hang pictures and shelves, drill holes to spy on the girls locker room...the list is endless.

It's low-tech for sure, what with the advent of fancy ipods and projector TV's, but it's the kind of device independent cats should own.

The reason I initially thought this might be for girls is that I read a pretty good article written by a woman who had bought herself a drill and her life changed forever. She became this DIY fiend and found a passion she never knew she had. She felt like every strong woman ought to own her own drill.

It's just a handy thing to have around, you know? Even if you never use it, just knowing you've got this in your tool belt means you're one step ahead of everybody else.
