Why We’ve Recommended Briggs & Riley’s Baseline Luggage for Over 10 Years

1 Comment

With many luxury suitcases, you’re paying big bucks to own a stylish status symbol. With Briggs & Riley suitcases, you’re paying for something that will give you a measurably better travel experience.

Of the hundreds of suitcases we’ve tested, Briggs & Riley’s Baseline suitcases have consistently stood out as the best. For over a decade, the company’s bags have held top spots, as our upgrade pick for the best carry-on bag and as the best checked bag.

Kit Dillon, a senior staff writer and luggage expert, and Wirecutter founder Brian Lam both use Briggs & Riley Baseline suitcases for their own travel. Lam said, and I quote, “I love this bag.”

A pleasure to pack and use, this carry-on is spacious, thanks to a unique compression system. It’s also likely to last a lifetime.

NeoPixel Simulated Liquid Physics

Led pixels oozemaster thumb

This OOZE MASTER 3000: NeoPixel Simulated Liquid Physics tutorial is just one of the MANY halloween themed guides in our learn system!

This project lets you dress up a window, Halloween prop or wall decoration with eye-catching LEDs that simulate dripping liquid, but leave no mess behind…it’s a completely dry effect!

Also, just changing the color and the prop, this is perfectly usable for Christmas decor as well. This is one of those “sandbox projects” that can fit wherever your imagination takes it…I’m just really partial to Halloween, so that’s what’s demonstrated here. Raawr!

Check out the full guide in the adafruit learn system!
