Apple Card
I actually think this is pretty cool mainly because the idea for this is to help me carry one less card than what is currently in my wallet (hopefully). Also, the security around this card is pretty good and if anything I hope it continues as a larger trend into the rest of the credit card industry.
When this comes out later this summer, I’ll definitely be signing up.
I got that limited edition plastic Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card
I'm kidding. Well, not really. I did get a plastic version of Chase's new Sapphire Reserve card in the mail. But it's only temporary until Chase can get more metal cards printed (upon which they'll just send me another card). Demand for this card has been so high that they actually ran out of the material to print the card. Does that normally happen? Crazy.
The Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card
Haha, I want to know who approved the animated GIF in the beginning of this article about the Chase Sapphire Reserve card. News about this amazing credit card has been making the rounds lately and I really am considering it for myself. The annual fee is high -- $450 -- but the perks easily seem to outweigh the upfront cost of the card itself. Plus, for somebody who travels a lot, the application fee credit for Global Entry or TSA Pre-Check seems like a great deal. What I'm really waiting for is a few things to line up so I can spend that $4000 in the first 3 months so that I can get that insane 100,000 point bonus. I think I can do it.
Look at all of these cool random things encased in epoxy resins
These videos here come from the same channel that brought you that rainbow Crayola bud vase. I couldn't stop watching this guy's epoxy experiments where he basically dips and covers random stuff in epoxy. I love stuff in epoxy and always thought the process was much more involved. But it looks so simple here! And quick initial search on the internet brings up several DIY tutorials (like this cool headphone amplifier).
TAP Plastics has a tutorial online plus a bunch of other stuff to help you do this easily.
I would love to do this to some of the stuff I own. Nothing too important, but maybe something that would otherwise be disposable but with some sentimental value.
