Helpful Hints from joeeze: Tatiana's paintbrush holder hack

She commented on the Magnetic Paintbrush Holder, "Me, I'm too cheap and lazy. I just take a big fat rubber band and wrap it around the paint can after I open it.(Think like wrapping a bow around it, so that looking down into the can's opening you'd see the rubber band bisect the hole.) Leaves lots of room for stirring the paint, and not only can you rest the brush but you also can take off excess paint from the brush before you glob the paint on. The rubber band usually just gets tossed when I'm done."

An acolyte of Edwin H. Land ("solve the problem with what's in the room"), fer shur.

I emailed her to ask if she had a site she'd like me to link to when I posted this and she replied, "Thanks. I'm always glad to spread Enlightened Slackerism among the masses that shall form my waddley army. I've got a blog at cookiemonster.vox.com, but I pretty much abandoned that a couple of months ago. For now I'm just a freelance agent provocateur."

I can feature that.
