To make capacitive touchscreens work through gloves, you need a conductive pathway between the screen and your finger(s). Commercial touchscreen-friendly gloves made with conductive fabric at the fingertips are available, and if you’re handy with a needle you can use special thread to sew conductive stitches into the fingertips of a glove you already own. If you’re not, this no-sew “hard” method, using the button or “cap” half of a snap fastener, may be more your style.

Co-working office space, a woodshop, sewing lab, creative people, dogs and a laser cutter; how awesome is that?!?! Adina and Marc Levin show us around Collab, their collaborative workspace in Manhattan, which is pretty much the coolest place you could imagine working in.

If you’re looking for an interesting spin on the old gingerbread house this holiday season, take a look at this Gingerbread Geodesic Dome Kit from Scout Regalia. It’s the prefect treat to conjure up while airing your grievances around the Festivus pole.

You may have already seen this video — it’s gone viral in the last few days. Miguel Endara drew an portrait of his dad entirely in stipples. When I was into drawing, stippling was my shading of choice, but this is nuts. And not only did he peck down 3.2 million dots, he counted them, too! Yikes.
