A Hidden Underground Pool [VIDEO]
With these bitterly cold temperatures seeming like they are staying forever, my mind can't help but wander to the joy and excitement of the summer season. And, in addition to being able to walk outside of your house without having to wear 35 different clothing layers, another great part about summer is swimming. But, what to do if you have a small space and want a swimming pool? Buy one of those inflatable, above-ground pools? Nope. Here's an amazing invention called the Hidden Water Pool. I don't want to spoil the video, so check out its amazingness. I would love to have one of these!

A Capsule Hotel [VIDEO]
Have you ever heard of the term, "Capsule Hotel"? I know I didn't. But, the concept is pretty interesting. Pretty much, a capsule hotel is a hotel stripped down to basics. A place to put your shoes, shower and sleep. That's it. The one featured in this video is a 9-hour capsule hotel--1 hour to shower, 7 hours to sleep and 1 hour to rest. This capsule hotel is in Japan. Check out the video--it explains a lot more. Do you think something like this would work in America?
Turning a Kitchen Into a Musical Instrument [VIDEO]
So, if I said to you, "Turn your kitchen into a musical instrument," what would you do? My first thought would be to revert to my toddler years and hit a spoon against a frying pan to make a drum-like sound. But, not this guy in the video. He goes one step further than just hitting a spoon against a frying pan. He turns his whole kitchen into an instrument. He uses everything from a can of cooking spray to a whisk to make musical sounds. I should clarify that he actually turns his kitchen into one big synthesizer. Check it out.
The Dreaded Awkward Handshake [VIDEO]
I know it's happened to me plenty of times: you go to shake someone's hand, and something goes wrong. Either your hands don't meet in the right spot, causing one of you shake fingers instead of a hand. Or, when you go for a handshake, the other person throws out a fist for a fist bump and you don't have time to change your hand positioning. You both know it's awkward, but nobody says a word about it. Here's a funny video about "Handshake Awareness." After watching the video, I have been in the same awkward handshake scenario. Check it out--I thought it was humorous.
