I like gadgets. I know it’s kind of shallow and earthly and consumerist, but they are hard to resist. Tools are also hard to resist because they represent the possibility of things that can be built – and they come in a lot of cool colors these days.
But I’m not sure about combining the two. Stanley has come out with an application that turns an iPhone or an iPod into a level. The user downloads the app and calibrates it with a regular bubble level. Once complete they can start using an iPhone or iPod to check the level on all kinds of things. Stanley recommends using it to hang art, or shelves.
So I guess while I’m talking on my iPhone with someone and I sense they might not be be telling me the whole truth I can check to see if they’re “on the level.” Hey, it just happens. I have no idea where those thoughts come from.
Stanley says you can get your own Stanley Level from the Apple App Store. So get one, calibrate it, and then get out there and do your “level best.”
