BOXABL believes they have the potential to disrupt a massive and outdated trillion-dollar building construction market by bringing assembly line automation to the home industry.
BOXABL homes are built in their Las Vegas factory, folded, shipped on a truck, and then unfolded on site in one hour. They aim to transform home construction, much like how Henry Ford automated car manufacturing – bringing assembly line efficiency and mass production to an artisanal, slow industry.
And they're not just dreaming big; they're delivering:
Initial prototype order delivered to SpaceX in 2020.
Subsequent project order of 156 homes from the Department of Defense completed in 2021.
Now, after implementing what was learned from those prior orders, actively delivering to developers and consumers.

Digital Calendar Tools: Never Miss an Appointment
In today’s fast-paced world, staying organized is more important than ever—and digital calendar tools are helping millions of people do just that. Whether you're managing doctor’s visits, work meetings, school events, or social plans, a digital calendar can keep your schedule running smoothly and stress-free. Best of all, you don’t have to be tech-savvy to use one.
Digital calendars are available on most smartphones, tablets, and computers, often built right into the device. Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Microsoft Outlook are some of the most popular options, and they’re all free to use. These tools allow you to set appointments, add reminders, and even share events with others—all in just a few taps. You can color-code different types of appointments, set recurring events like weekly classes or monthly check-ups, and receive notifications ahead of time so nothing slips through the cracks.
One of the biggest advantages of digital calendars is their ability to sync across multiple devices. That means if you add an event on your phone, it will automatically appear on your tablet and computer as well. You’ll never again find yourself wondering whether that appointment was at 2:00 or 3:00—because it’s right there at your fingertips.
For caregivers or busy families, shared calendars can be a game changer. Parents can coordinate school pickups and playdates, adult children can keep track of a parent’s medical schedule, and roommates can organize bills and household chores. Everyone stays on the same page, literally.
Another helpful feature is the ability to attach notes, addresses, or Zoom links to appointments. No more scrambling for the doctor’s office location or the password to that video call—it’s all stored right with the event.
And for those who prefer speaking over typing, many calendars now integrate with voice assistants like Siri, Alexa, or Google Assistant. You can add or check appointments simply by saying, “What’s on my calendar today?”
Whether you're managing a busy household, juggling work and personal life, or just trying to stay on top of your own schedule, digital calendar tools are an easy, reliable way to stay organized. With just a little setup, they can make a big difference—so you never miss an appointment again.

Yesterday’s Poll Results: What’s your real estate investment style (or dream)?
We asked about your real estate investment style (or dream), and the results are in! Over half of you (52%) said real estate just isn’t your thing—you're sticking to other investments. But nearly 1 in 5 admitted you're interested… just a little nervous about the upkeep. A few of you already enjoy the steady income from rentals, while others are dreaming of a sunny vacation home. Whether you're hands-off with REITs or still figuring it all out, it’s clear: there’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to real estate.
TOP COMMENTS
“I own my own home out right, but I tried investing in Real Estate years ago and I found it too tumultuous. My rentals would go vacant at the most inconvenient times.”
“We own land our children can sell or keep after we’re gone”
“We own multiple properties and have a property manager. The income is great. Those people who need a fixed income every month, it may not fit your needs. Renters come and go which means there's never an exact amount monthly. It is a very hands-on investment, just make sure you are prepared.”
Refresh Your Makeup Routine: Chic & Simple Updates at Any Age
If your makeup routine feels more fussy than flattering, it might be time for a gentle refresh. Swapping heavy, matte products for sheer, glow-boosting formulas can bring a soft, natural radiance back to your skin. Cream blushes add warmth without settling into fine lines, and applying them a bit higher on the cheekbones creates a subtle lift. Lightening up your eye routine—with soft brown liner, a touch of neutral shadow, and well-groomed brows—can brighten your whole face without feeling overdone. A few small updates can bring ease, confidence, and a sense of joy back to your beauty ritual.

Good News of the Day
Rescue Dog Sienna Detects Stranger’s Seizure Before It Happens
At a Campbell County, Virginia, animal shelter adoption event, a rescue dog named Sienna displayed remarkable intuition by detecting a medical emergency before it occurred. A former stray, Sienna broke away from the crowd to approach a man she had never met, gently placing her paw on his leg and refusing to move. Minutes later, the man began to experience a seizure, which was confirmed by his wife upon her return.
Though Sienna had no formal training in detecting medical issues, she instinctively recognized the signs of distress. The heroic act drew widespread attention, resulting in donations that covered her adoption fees, although she has yet to find a permanent home.
The shelter, which found Sienna in downtown Altavista, estimates she is 4-5 years old and had previously given birth to multiple litters. Shelter staff praised her calm demeanor and basic training, despite not knowing her full background. Since the incident, Sienna has received several adoption applications, and the shelter emphasized the deep empathy shelter dogs can offer, highlighting how sometimes the rescued become the rescuers.
