This is Starpath, a sprayable glow in the dark lighting system that makes pathways twinkle like a billion little stars after the sun goes down. That way you don't accidentally wander off the path and get eaten by bears. You may get mesmerized by all the stars and crash your bike into a park bench though. Whatever, chicks dig scars. But not brain injuries, so wear a f***ing helmet.

The coating is applied in three layers, with a middle aggregate stage that absorbs UV energy during the day, which is then released as a blue glow when it's dark. It's kind of like a high-tech version of those glow in the dark stickers you put on the walls of your room when you were a kid. Manufacturer Pro-Teq Surfacing sees Starpath as a way for municipalities to save money, by replacing costly electric pathway lighting with the low-maintenance coating. Installing the surface takes only a few hours, leaving a durable coating that's slip and rain resistant.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? "Probably not." They should spray a path from my bed to the bathroom so I don't have to turn on any lights to go to piss in the middle of the night! Because right now I try to navigate in the dark and-- "The hall closet smells like piss." Yeah... Plus my roommate said he found a turd in his hamper. Keep going for a video demonstration.

This video and his others had a very big influence on me years ago.

I've been holding out on you. I know, I'm sorry. I don't even know why, because these lemon bars ... oh man, they are meant to be shared. In fact, keeping them to yourself would be very dangerous. The truth is that I've been making this lemon curd recipe on its own for years, and I've been tinkering with my favorite shortbread recipe for years. Now, finally, I've had the presence of mind to bring them together. No need to thank me — you're welcome.

Since reading about the ultra-efficient, small space friendly, 7 Minute Workout, I've incorporated it as one of the very first things I do each morning. But for such a simple routine, how I actually executed it was sort of complex: I'd set an interval timer app for the 30 seconds on/10 seconds rest configuration on my phone, while using a screencap of the helpful graphic on a tablet to refer to. But now I don't have to juggle two devices while I memorize the routine to memory...
