Multi-tools are awesome. For those who don't know what a multi-tool is, it's a category of tool which has many tools in one, generally in a compact arrangement easily carried. For instance, a Swiss Army knife is a type of multi-tool.
A good multi-tool can be useful in a wide variety of situations. A screwdriver flip-out with detachable bits is useful in opening or closing tightened compartments. A knife is useful for cutting apples. A nail file is always nice to have, and a corkscrew can't hurt. Pliers can be handy for getting into tight spaces, and scissors that you can carry around in a pocket can always come in handy. A toothpick is useful for, well, picking your teeth.
From the most mundane to the most ridiculous (I once saw a miniaturized saw and a mini-hammer on a multi-tool), multi-tools can be incredibly useful in everyday life, as well as in dealing with the extraordinary.
Along with duct tape, multi-tools can probably be used in some way or another to solve the vast majority of the world's problems.
On a more mundane note, today was a pretty darn good day. I was productive and efficient, and accomplished quite a lot. I got Mathematica 8 onto my computer, and was fiddling with some of its functionality - it is awesome! More on that later, hopefully.
