MacGyver’s Notebook
To any origami master, a crisp, single sheet of paper can be turned into a beautiful creation with just a few folds. The Japanese art of taking a simple object and turning it into something beautiful is just that, artistic. In TechLife, “the useful†is much more my area of expertise. Television’s poster-child of usability was MacGyver, who seemingly every week used duct tape and a paperclip to defeat the bad guys. One utility item MacGyver always carried was his Swiss Army knife, a multi-utility tool about the size of a cigarette lighter.
While there doesn’t appear to be a revival of the television show, the idea of a utility tool in all areas of life is always appealing. I have a special treat for you today, something I call MacGyver’s notebook, also known as a PocketMod.
