Would you drive a canary-yellow Lada Kalina Sport sedan hundreds of miles across some of the most desolate stretches of Siberia? No, you wouldn’t… but you’re not Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Cake in a Can: Just Add Water
Posted in: Today's ChiliThat feeling you get when you realize that you forgot someone’s birthday is just the worst. You can set alarms and have alerts pop up, but if it slips your mind, it slips your mind, so it’s better to have a back-up plan in place for when it happens.
It doesn’t make much sense to have a bunch of generic gifts in your closet, but having some cake on hand is something doable. Plus, who doesn’t like cake on their birthday?
The Food Ministry’s Cake in a Can makes “baking” easy, since you’ll only have to pour water into it as they’re filled with cake mix for your chosen flavor. Go for lemon if you feel like something tart or go for chocolate because that’s everyone’s favorite. Better yet, stock up on a few different flavors because you never know when you might need to bake a cake.
Each of the tins are available from Not on the High Street for £5 (~$8.50 USD).

The iPhone 6 and iOS 8 make it impossibly easy to shoot timelapse and high-speed footage using just your phone. But while the boxy design of the iPhone 5 meant it could be stood on its edge for hands-free shooting, you unfortunately can’t steady the curvy iPhone 6 that way. Lots of companies have announced tiny tripods and folding cases to help solve that problem, but none seem as elegantly simple and straight-forward as the MOS Kick.

Sticking an SSD drive inside the MacBook Air helped Apple create one of the sleekest laptops you can buy. The tradeoff was limited storage, since SSDs don’t boast the same capacity as regular hard drives at any sort of sane price. Thankfully there’s also an SD card slot you can use to boost your MBA’s storage, but instead of grabbing one of those expensive trimmed SD cards to sit flush inside, consider Brando’s cheap microSD adapter instead.
