My favorite everyday use for the M510 is controlling my living room media PC. With the Unifying Receiver plugged into my mini-PC connected to the TV, I can comfortably browse streaming services, select movies, adjust volume, and even type search queries right from my couch. The wireless mouse lets me do all this without being tethered, offering a freedom that regular TV remotes just can’t match for complex navigation.

Beyond just entertainment, I’ve found the M510 i invaluable for managing my smart home dashboard. My home control software runs on a dedicated PC, and using the M510 allows me to precisely adjust thermostat settings, check security camera feeds, or tweak smart light schedules with ease. Its accurate tracking means I can quickly hit those small on-screen buttons without misclicks.

I also utilize its programmable buttons for quick household tasks. I’ve set the forward/back buttons to switch between open tabs in my digital recipe book on my kitchen PC, making it incredibly convenient while my hands are busy. The side-to-side scrolling on the scroll wheel is surprisingly useful for navigating wide spreadsheets that track my home inventory or budget.

In essence, my Logitech M510 Wireless Mouse has proven to be a surprisingly powerful remote for my connected home. Its ergonomic comfort, reliable wireless performance, and handy programmable features have empowered me to interact with my digital world in more intuitive and efficient ways, transforming everyday household tech management into a smooth, enjoyable process.

My Logitech M170: The Quiet Hero of My Connected Home

When I first bought my Logitech M170 Wireless Mouse for PC, I was just looking for a simple, affordable mouse to replace an old, wired one. I expected basic functionality, but what I got was a surprisingly versatile tool that has quietly revolutionized how I interact with my home devices. Its wireless freedom and reliable performance have opened up new, creative ways for me to navigate, control, and streamline my everyday household tech, making my digital life much more convenient.

My absolute favorite everyday use for the M170 is controlling my living room media center. I have my PC connected to my TV, and the tiny USB receiver plugs directly into it. Now, instead of fumbling with a clumsy remote or getting up to change a video, I can comfortably browse streaming services, select shows, adjust volume, and even type in search queries right from my couch. The 10-meter wireless range is perfect for this, giving me complete control without any wires.

Beyond the TV, I also use the M170 for more intricate household tasks that involve a computer. When I’m working on digital photo albums or organizing files on my home server, the precision of the mouse is a lifesaver. I can easily drag-and-drop hundreds of photos, rename files, and navigate complex folder structures much faster than with a trackpad or keyboard shortcuts alone. It truly makes these tedious tasks feel more manageable.

I even find myself using it in the kitchen! I have a small tablet or laptop nearby for recipes, and sometimes I need to scroll or click without touching a greasy screen. The M170, with its compact design, is perfect for this. I can quickly navigate through ingredients or steps, keeping my hands on my cooking and my screens clean. It’s those little moments of convenience that add up throughout the day.

In essence, my Logitech M170 has become the unsung hero of my connected home. It’s a simple, unassuming device, but its reliable wireless performance and comfortable design have empowered me to interact with my digital world in more intuitive and efficient ways, transforming everyday tasks into seamless experiences.

HOW TO: Sewing Kitchen Hand Towels

I just stumbled upon a fantastic little project that I had to share with you all. It’s one of those simple, practical ideas that makes you say, “Why didn’t I think of that?” We’re talking about turning those oversized  Zeppoli Classic Dish Towels into perfect, handy little towelettes. You know the ones I mean – those big towels that are a bit too bulky for wiping down the counter or doing dishes. Well, this is the solution.

The idea is brilliantly simple: take one large  Zeppoli Classic Dish Towel and transform it into four smaller, more manageable ones. I love projects like this because they’re not only about creating something new but also about making everyday items more functional.

The process is straightforward. I started by cutting a large 14×25 inch towel into four equal quadrants. A great tip I picked up was to trim off the original thick hem from one side of each new piece. This is a clever little step that really helps reduce bulk when you sew the new seams, making the whole process much smoother.

Next, I prepared the raw edges by giving them a neat double fold. This hides the cut edge completely, so you don’t have to worry about fraying, and it gives the towelettes a clean, professional finish. Since most of the pieces already had one or two finished edges from the original towel, I only had to hem the two cut sides on each one.

Then, it was time to fire up the sewing machine. The video I saw used a Brother CS7000i, and its special “J-foot” handled the thickness of the folded fabric like a champ. I started by sewing the first folded edge, making sure to keep the fabric taut. Then, I tackled the second edge, and here’s the part I really love: after the first line of stitching, you turn the fabric and sew a second line right beside the first. This double-stitching reinforces the hem, making these little towels super durable for all that scrubbing and washing.

After a quick trim of the extra threads, I was done! In just a short amount of time, I had four fantastic towelettes. They’re incredibly absorbent, lint-free, and perfect for everything from washing dishes to polishing glasses. It’s an easy, satisfying project that makes your kitchen essentials even better. Give it a try!

Happy crafting! -Sterling W.
