APP:<\/strong>
\nI\u2019ve had a lot of fun in the past few days playing with a new iOS app that creates a mosaic of video, still images, and sound, and into which you can also paste code to create animations and actions. They are cool post-gif loops. You then share and follow others who are creating. Still in beta, it\u2019s called Universe<\/a>. Follow me! \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

THING:<\/strong>
\nLast year I started using a Salux Japanese Nylon washcloth<\/a> (reviewed on Cool Tools<\/a>), and I won\u2019t ever go back. No other product has made me feel this clean before. It exfoliates, but it\u2019s not as rough as some gloves or loofahs I have tried, and I use the one labeled \u201csuper hard.\u201d \u2014 CL<\/p>\n

WATCHABLE:<\/strong>
\nA series I am binging on is Silicon Valley<\/a>. I know all these people and every detail of their lives and situations is pitch perfect right on. The producers get the tiniest details exactly right, from the technology to the mannerisms, as well as their bigger narrative. I haven\u2019t laughed so much is ages. At the same time, it\u2019s a remarkably fantastic advanced class in what technology companies are *really* like; whether you want to work in one, or start one: watch this series. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

WEBSITE:<\/strong>
\nReddit\u2019s Futurology subreddit<\/a> features news stories that point to our future. \u201cNew antibiotic found in human nose.\u201d \u201cSingapore Scientists Grow Mini Human Brains.\u201d \u201cShould a human-pig chimera be treated as a person?\u201d I visit it daily. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

GAME:<\/strong>
\nI recently bought the Junior Game Inventors Kit<\/a> to build with my soon-to-be stepson. We had a lot of fun creating a board design and brainstorming \u201cconsequence” and \u201creward\u201d cards. We didn\u2019t get a chance to finish and play the game, but I\u2019m looking forward to seeing how it evolves. Very reasonable price for a kit that inspires creativity. \u2014 CL<\/p>\n

SERVICE:<\/strong>
\nTruecaller<\/a> is a free, ad-supported smartphone app that blocks telemarketers\u2019 calls. When a call from a spammer comes in, your phone will display a red screen that says \u201cIdentified as Spam.\u201d And if a telemarketer slips through, you can easily add the number to Truecaller\u2019s database. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n
