Newsletter App
Iâve been using the Stoop app to discover and read new newsletters. Itâs great to have them all in one place where I can let them pile up and read when I have the time. Iâm really enjoying the Clearer Thinking newsletter, which offers tools for better decision-making. You can also find Recomendo on there! â CDÂ
If You High (and even if you aren't)
The ifyouhigh Instagram account has 3.4 million followers, but I recently stumbled on it and am hooked. Itâs an endless scroll of strange and beautiful short videos of natural phenomena, machinery in motion, slo-mo, time-lapse, art, and other âWhoa dude!â moments that you donât need to be high to appreciate. â MF
Typeset in the Future
Iâm spending hours studying this coffee-table book celebrating the typography and design used in science fiction movies. What do we see on screens âin the futureâ? More broadly, this dense picture book, Typeset in the Future, is a roundabout way to examine where the interface design of technology is headed. â KK
The Alien Exercise
In Jen Sinceroâs book, You Are a Badass, she describes the Alien Exercise for rebooting yourself and getting some clarity. Imagine you are an alien and youâve just landed on Earth â into your body and life. Take notice of all the connections, opportunities, skills, possessions and people who love you and can help you. What would you do and how would you feel? I think this is great for brainstorming projects, ideas and new ways to enjoy your day-to-day life. â CDÂ
Cheapest Lightning Cables
Lightning charging cables are expensive and seem to fray quickly. Micro USB cables, on the other hand, are dirt cheap and seem to last forever. I bought a 10-pack of adapters that convert a Micro USB plug into a Lighting plug. The price for all 10 was $7, about half the price of a single Lightning Cable. I tested them, and there were no duds in the pack. â MF
