Technology and computing is always changing and advancing rapidly. It can be hard to keep up with the latest and greatest developments in the world of tech and yet one thing seems to remain the same.
Computer keyboards are pretty much the same, year after year, save for a few cosmetic additions here and there such as backlit and ergonomic ones. Their overall design is a basic standard by now and keys have to be placed in the same set areas because of how people type.
It follows that most people know their keyboards like the back of their hand. On average, people spend hours a day in front of a computer. They are tied in with our lives and we use them for just about everything, from work and shopping to keeping in touch friends and family.
However, despite all of the time you spend using them, there is something about a keyboard that you may or may not have noticed before.
Look down at your keyboard and focus on the F and J keys. Do you see a little raised line or bump on them? Chances are, your computer has them because almost all modern computer makes and models come with this feature.
Out of all the other keys on the board, the F and J are the only two that sport these bumps. Why are they there? To help us position our fingers correctly without having to glance down and look at the keyboard. This helps improve touch typing speeds and makes the keyboard easier to use for some people.
The F and J keys were chosen for the location of the bumps because when most people place their hands on the keyboard their index fingers naturally come to rest near or directly on those keys. While the simple feature may or may not come in handy for you, now you know why it’s even there in the first place.
From a Capitalist perspective they are there to increase production and productivity! Who knew? Did you? Let us know!

He Trims The Top Off These Strawberries Then Hollows Them. But When He Reveals The End Result YUM!

What you are about to watch in the video below, is a truly healthy twist on a favorite dessert…STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE. It’s definitely one of my faves, so I couldn’t resist sharing this creative alternative…CHEECAKE-STUFFED STRAWBERRIES!!
I decided to make this last night for dessert, before passing this on, and let me tell you, it was absolutely delicious and took less than 20 minutes to make! This is what you will need to make 16-20 cheesecake-stuffed strawberries:
1 pound of fresh, ripe strawberries, rinsed and patted dry – 8 ounces of softened cream cheese – ¾ cup powdered sugar – 1 tsp of pure vanilla – Optional toppings like graham cracker crumbs, crushed nuts, or shaved chocolate
The tutorial is easy to follow; watch how he uses a paring knife to remove the stems, leaves and core from each strawberry, to prep it for the cheesecake filling. The filling gets beaten on a medium setting for 2 minutes, to a light and fluffed consistency; a piping bag will be the handiest way to fill the strawberries before adding your topping of choice.
Chill, serve and ENJOY!

This Is Why There Is Extra Wood On The End Of Your Chopsticks. I’m So Glad I Learned THIS!

If you’ve ever used disposable chopsticks then you know how tricky handling them for the first time can be. While some people are naturals at using the eating utensils, for most of us it takes a little more time, patience, and practice to truly master the art.
And unless you eat a lot of Chinese takeout, you probably don’t use them all that often. When you do happen to come across a pair, the first thing you have to do is unwrap them from the packaging. Next, you split them apart and break them in two, now they are ready for grabbing food and eating with.
If you’re like me and millions of other people who do exactly that, you just used your chopsticks wrong. That’s because there is a better, more useful way to break them apart. Instead of snapping them in half, break off the very top portion and then use that piece as a chopstick rest.
Now you have a clean spot off the table to rest your chopsticks and nothing will end up getting dirty. The clever trick has been described by many as a chopstick life hack after an Australian woman, who goes by the name BortofDarkness on Twitter, posted an image of it which quickly went viral.
The internet responded and for the most part people are fascinated by the information. Some even shared other related life hacks of their own. A popular tip that many people swear by involves modifying chopsticks to make them a lot easier to use.
The simple trick requires just a rubber band and a thin strip of paper. In this short video DaveHax shows you how to make a pair of user-friendly chopsticks. These are great for beginners and those who always seem to struggle with chopsticks, so be sure to check it out.
All you need to do is wrap a rubber band around one end of the chopsticks. Roll up a little piece of paper and slide it down in between the 2 sticks until it reaches the spot right in front of the rubber band. When you close the chopsticks it will spring back open since the rubber band and piece of paper give it resistance.
This makes them similar to tongs in that they grab food, and picking things up this way is a lot easier to do than with traditionally held chopsticks. Give it a try the next time you order some tasty lo mein and see if it works for you!

No matter what type of animal our pets may be, they all have their own unique quirks and personalities. Whether it’s a dog, cat, hamster, bird, horse, and so on, animals are always finding ways to make us smile and laugh and love them even more.
Some animals even take on and adopt human-like traits, such as dogs who sing and howl along to music and horses that dance! Which is exactly what one sweet horse named Silvr Lining was captured on tape doing. When she runs across the pasture it appears as if she’s dancing.
Her movements are rhythmic, graceful, and unlike any other horse’s I’ve ever seen. Her trot has some major flair and it’s almost as if she’s floating and gliding on air the way she bounces and moves her feet so effortlessly.
According to information posted along with the clip, on allanglos’s channel, Silvr Lining is a 32 month old purebred black Arabian filly. She trots this way without any type of training or encouragement and simply loves to play and run around, doing it naturally as she trots.
The video of the her horsing around has quickly gone viral and captured the hearts and attention of people all over the world. You don’t need to be a horse lover to appreciate this clip. It’ll put a smile on your face and make you wish you had a horse of your own to love… and dance with!

This Woman Boils Her Toilet Paper. But The End Result Left Me Speechless!

Multiple Sclerosis, is a disease that is actually viral in origin, and often sits dormant until first symptoms get expressed in a person’s 20’s. The degree of debilitation can vary greatly from individual to individual, and one’s attitude (as with all diseases) can make a huge difference.
In the video you are about to watch below, Amber Mills, a former Marine who is now a full-time stay-at-home mom of three children, was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. She had been growing increasingly depressed over the decline in her health, when she read about an unusual contest online; make the winning wedding dress out of TOILET PAPER and win $10,000!
No longer wanting to dwell on her fear and disillusionment with her health challenges, she went to work with pink and white CHARMIN, tape, glue, needle and thread to create the most incredibly beautiful and detailed TOILET PAPER WEDDING GOWN!
With painstaking effort, you will see her craft toilet paper lace, by boiling the toilet paper with glue which she incredibly turns into a work of art. Pain is not only the touchstone of change, but for Amber it opened the door to an artistic ability that was life-changing.

It Seems Like A Normal Camper But It’s Hiding An Incredible Secret. I’m Speechless!

At first glance, this camper appears to be normal, albeit a little quirky for some people’s tastes. It’s life-sized and fully functioning with a tow hitch, safety lights, and everything else you’d need to haul it around. However, upon closer inspection something a little strange comes to light about this caravan, which sets it apart from any other RV or camper you have ever seen before.
That’s because it’s made completely out of thousands of LEGO pieces! The camper was special made for the 2015 Motorhome & Caravan Show that was held at the National Exhibition Center in Birmingham, UK. It was unveiled there and placed on display this past October 13th-18th.
According to the show’s organizer and marketing campaign director James Bissett “We wanted to create something truly unique to celebrate 130 years of leisure caravanning and we are absolutely delighted with our record-breaking model.” Also present at the unveiling was a Guinness World Records adjudicator who presented an official certificate recognizing the camper as the biggest LEGO camper ever. The last camper that held this honor was made from just 20,000 LEGO pieces, a far cry from this one.
That’s because to build this world record holding camper it took a whopping grand total of 215,158 LEGO bricks. In addition, a team of 12 professional LEGO builders worked for well over 1,000 hours for 12 weeks straight. When it was all said and done the project measured in at 2.2 meters tall and 3.6 meters long, the size of other similar types of campers on the market.
Watch as the life sized camper comes to life in this cool video that shows the entire process sped up, from brick number one to brick number 215,158. The type of caravan they chose to replicate is what’s called a “teardrop” style caravan.
It features all the modern amenities you’d expect, such as electric lighting, a sink with running water, and a table and seats that transform into a bed. The designers didn’t stop there though, they thoughtfully chose to include a chess set, toothbrushes, and even a partially stocked fridge and cooking stove, all of which were expertly crafted out of LEGOs!
The show’s organizers definitely had the right idea, the caravan model is really unique and unexpected. It’s something the whole family can enjoy and check out, and who doesn’t love LEGOs?!
