Bootstrap workshop<\/strong>
\nI like this guy\u2019s YouTube channel,\u00a0the $50 Workshop<\/a>. He\u2019s bootstrapping a woodworking workshop starting with $50 worth of simple bought tools, and then using them to build his own table saw, drill press, etc. He makes things from scrap wood with his current tools to buy parts to make better tools. It\u2019s encouraged me to make my own tools. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Menu bar notepad<\/strong>
\nTyke<\/a>\u00a0is a free, simple MacOS menubar app that opens a small text-only scratch pad. It converts copied text into plain text, which I like. I\u2019ve only had it for couple of days, but I\u2019m already using it multiple times a day. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Easy time tracking<\/strong>
\nTimelog<\/a>\u00a0is a free time tracker you can use in your browser. You don\u2019t even need to sign up for an account.\u00a0I like that it keeps going even if I accidentally close my window. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Stiff-bristled scrubbing brush<\/strong>
\nThe\u00a0B\u00fcrstenhaus Redecker<\/a>\u00a0($10) is made from beechwood and has incredibly stiff palm leaf fiber bristles. It removes burnt eggs from cast-iron pans with ease. I was a die-hard fan of the OXO scrubbing brush, but this is better. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Mindful eating tip<\/strong>
\nA new habit I\u2019ve picked up is to put my fork down between bites. Originally this was a weight-loss tip \u2014 and it has helped me eat less \u2014 but also it\u2019s helped me relax while eating, and I enjoy my meals more. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Good book I enjoyed<\/strong>
\nThe recent short biography of the\u00a0Wright Brothers<\/a>, in a book by that name, written by the historian David McCullough had tons of news for me. I did not realize the brothers worked out the mathematics of airfoils. They were not just tinkers but doing actual science. Pioneering that pure research paid off. But they also spent too much time trying to defend their initial patents and not enough inventing new stuff afterwards. This succinct book has other lessons and is well worth the time. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n
