Must listen:<\/strong>
\nA fantastic two-part podcast episode from Reply All (Russian Passenger<\/a>, Part 1 + Beware All<\/a>, Part 2) delves very deep into the mystery of how producer Alex Blumberg had his Uber account hacked by Russians. Could it be malware, phishing, man-in-the-middle exploits, or what? To arrive at a solution required the participation of the full technical teams of Google, Uber, and independent security experts over several weeks, and still the final aha<\/i> was surprising. Along the way, it\u2019s an entertaining detective story, dishing out a serious but still understandable education in global cyber security. The bottom line: You need a password manager right now. My family and I use 1Password,<\/a> which has been great. \u2014 KK

\nHandy photo app:<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m old school: I take photos with a camera that I process on my Mac. That makes it difficult to post to Instagram \u2014 the new home for photographers \u2014 because Instagram insists you upload photos only from a phone. Flume<\/a> Pro is a $10 app for Macs that let you drag and drop photos from your desktop directly into your Instagram stream. (The free version is a handy Instagram stream manager.) Works for me. \u2014 KK

\nHay fever relief:<\/strong>
\nI\u2019ve been taking nettles leaf capsules for over 20 years to deal with my allergies to dust and pollen. My wife and daughter use it too. Every one of my dubious friends who try it also become true believers. I buy the 100-capsule bottles of Nature\u2019s Way<\/a>\u00a0and take 4-6 every few hours during allergy season. \u2014 MF

\nTime zone aid:<\/strong>
\nI have difficulty with time zones. It\u2019s easy enough to use the world clock on my smartphone to find out what time it is in another country right now, but I don\u2019t trust myself to count forward or backward to figure out what time it will be in Edinburgh when it\u2019s 10am in Los Angeles, for example. I have 24 Meetings<\/a>\u00a0bookmarked to do the math for me. A simple slider lets me see what time it will be in different cities. \u2014 MF

\nFast email finder:<\/strong>
\nHunter<\/a> lets you quickly find personal and support email addresses from any company website. I have the chrome extension and it\u2019s great for when I have a customer service or billing issue and want a response as soon as possible. I cc: all the relevant generic email addresses for the company and so far have gotten a response and issue resolved within hours. \u2014 CD

\nQuotable:<\/strong>
\n\u201cWhat ever you cling to, it is not that,\u201d is my new mantra to remind me to not get attached to the stories I create, or my own perspective. It\u2019s kind of like a gentle kick in the butt. I heard it while listening to Pema Ch\u00f6dr\u00f6n, Coming Closer to Ourselves: Making Everything the Path of Awakening<\/i><\/a>. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n
