My Wife Gets Me. I mean... most of the time. She knows that I enjoy learning new tech tools and making things, so if she can give me the opportunity to make things through using new tech tools, that's a win win for her. That's what happened this year for Christmas. She bought me an Ortur Laser Master 2. I've had a TON of fun putting this thing through it's paces so far. I'll give you the short version of the review here. Will bullet points work for you? Hope so. This thing was WELL packaged. I bet they rarely have any shipping damage. It was easy to setup. The instructions were picture based, and there was only one step where I misinterpreted the picture. My youngest sons helped build it. Total time from opening the box to the first burn was approximately 90 minutes. That includes downloading, installing and setting up the software.

Google does a lot. Yes, the company you think of as "Google" (ahem... Alphabet) does a ton, but I mean the literal page google.com. It may not look like it does much. There's the doodle, and the search bar (ahem... Omnibox) and a couple of buttons. So simple that it can't be that powerful, right? Sorry, but no. The Omnibox has some neat tricks. Yes, it's got the goofy tricks. Have you tried askew? do a barrel roll? Google Gravity? Zerg Rush? Some of these require you to hit the "I'm feeling Lucky" button to activate these days. Those are cute, but the Omnibox also has some very useful tools. That's what Squatter 19 is all about. Take a look. As always, click the image below for a full sized PDF to print for yourself.
