What are you going to be watching on TV this thanksgiving holiday? Probably haven't given it a thought yet right. How about a 4 day marathon of Cool Tools (November 27-30th 7am-11pm). Cool Tools gives you an insider's look at the changing tools marketplace. From the newest innovations to improvements on old standbys, you'll see design, development, demonstrations and testing of the coolest tools out there.

Avoid the lines at the store and all the hassle that goes along with fighting the crowds to try and save $5 on a gift for your sister. She wants a Bosch PS20 anyway, so you might as well sit back on the couch watching Cool Tools on the TV, shop along at OhioPowerTool.com from the laptop and enjoy the weekend with too many left over turkey sandwiches.

Posted by blogs@bobvila.com (Ben) on under hinges, hinge, endeavor, ace, pins, holes, couch, doors |

Just the other week I had to remove and then re-install a hanging door in order to move a couch out of a room. Although I had help with the couch, I was left on my own to wrestle the door back into place, with a drill in one hand, as I tried to line up the holes in the hinges (yeah, I probably could have just removed the hinge pins, but I chose to unscrew the hinges from the door frame) to screw them back into place. Needless to say, it was frustrating endeavor and not one I wish to ...

Techcrunch: YouTube ‘Leanback’ Launches, Takes Aim At Your Television Set

Earlier today YouTube debuted a new mobile experience, using HTML5 to offer a mobile site that sports better video quality and (soon) more content than the native YouTube iPhone application (and it works on other smart phones as well). But they’re not done. Tonight, the video portal is also launching YouTube Leanback, a version of YouTube that’s optimized for watching content on your TV set, or when you're sitting a few feet away from your desktop computer. In short, this is YouTube TV. Leanback was first shown off as a preview at Google I/O, and will be integrated into Google TV when it launches this fall. The product evolved from YouTube XL, which launched in June 2009. The XL interface was cleaner than the standard YouTube site and was easier to use from a distance, but it didn’t deliver an experience that felt natural to couch surfers. LeanBack changes that.
