Life Hack of the Day: Turn an IKEA Stool into a Kid’s Bike
IKEA instructions can be difficult enough to follow as is, but what happens if you didn’t follow them at all and made something else instead? Samuel Bernier and Andreas Bhend spent two days reverse-engineering the Swedish furniture company’s FROSTA stool into a kid-sized bike. According to the duo, the handlebars feel “a bit stiff” but the wheels “roll like a dream.” Wanna make your own? Check out Bhend’s step-by-step modification instruction on Instructables!
This list, which took the better part of four years, was inspired by those who said that jazz was limited to a certain style or type of performer. The idea behind this list was not to create a “best” albums list, but rather a extensive list of albums that covered as much of jazz history as possible.
Even after posting 1,000 albums, this list is really only a sample of the history of this great art form.
Hopefully you will find some great music you have never heard before and add to your collection.
Check out the full list!

Galimberti explores the universality of being a kid amidst the diversity of the countless corners of the world; saying, “at their age, they are pretty all much the same; they just want to play.”
