Smart contact lenses are in prototype, gardening pros have a trick nobody ever taught you, and the term glass holes is back. A tech and DIY expert connects all of it.

 

**He Started Playing Guitar Because of Ritchie Valens. His Favourite Cars Are From That Same Era.**

Andy says his love of 1950s cars and his reason for picking up a guitar trace back to the same source: Ritchie Valens. He also walks through the inverse container planting method, the gardening trick that pre-builds holes before any plant ever touches soil.

 

**Smart Glasses Are at Your Next Party and Nobody Agreed to Be Filmed**

Andy says smart glasses are the current version, content creators are wearing them at events, and his behaviour already changes when he notices someone has them on.
