It\u2019s a tiny plastic bottle with a spherical base. It has a weighted bottom to keep it from tipping over. I can make it lie on its side, but no one else can (unless they know the secret, and surprisingly few do). Drive your friends crazy with frustration. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n<p><strong>Minimalism notebooks<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019ve long been a fan of blank (no-lines) Moleskine notebooks, large and small. I recently switched to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2IyKCp0\" target=\"_blank\">Minimalism Art notebooks<\/a>\u00a0which are very similar, maybe better, quality and half the price. They also come in bright cover colors. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n<p><strong>Apologize effectively<\/strong><br \/>\nI often refer back to this\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/LifeProTips\/comments\/58hw8h\/lpt_a_real_effective_apology_has_three_parts_1\/\" target=\"_blank\">Reddit LifeProTip<\/a>\u00a0that describes the three parts of an effective apology.\u00a0<i>(1) Acknowledge how your action affected the person; (2) Say you\u2019re sorry; (3) Describe what you\u2019re going to do to make it right or make sure it doesn\u2019t happen again. Don\u2019t excuse or explain.<\/i>\u00a0It\u2019s amazing how easy this is to forget so I have it saved and pinned in my iCloud notes. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n<p><strong>Binge watch TV: Colony<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019m eagerly looking forward to season 3 of\u00a0<i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.usanetwork.com\/colony\" target=\"_blank\">Colony<\/a><\/i>, a science fiction thriller about a world under lockdown after aliens arrive and take over. We never see the aliens \u2014 the oppressors are the humans who have cut a deal with the aliens to administrate repressive and cruel martial law in exchange for better living conditions. The story centers on a family trying to survive in a militarized, walled-off Los Angeles, where the smallest infraction is punishable by death. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n<p><strong>Teleport around the world<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.globegenie.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Globe Genie<\/a>\u00a0is a relaxing respite from my daily routine. I randomly bounce around to remote places, imagine myself there and appreciate the hugeness of the world. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pinterest scrapbooks<\/strong><br \/>\nA lot of folks, especially guys, kind of sneer at Pinterest, but I use it all the time. I have the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/about.pinterest.com\/en\/browser-button-confirmation-page\" target=\"_blank\">Pinterest plugin<\/a>\u00a0activated on my web browsers, so anytime I come across an image or visual idea on a webpage I want to save, I simply click on the little red Pinterest bug that appears in the left corner of that image, and it is saved to a \u201cpin board\u201d of my choosing. The advantage of this method over say Evernote is that each image saved can unearth many more similar images from all the Pinterest boards. So say I am researching how to make a lumber rack, I can collect a few examples from Google Images, or from some online forum, and then Pinterest will generate many more similar that others have collected. I can then curate my own collection from those, which is better than just looking at pages of Google results. You can keep your collections private or make them public, as I do with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/kevin2kelly\/design\/\" target=\"_blank\">some of mine<\/a>. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recomendo: issue no. 90<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13684,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[2323],"tags":[2324],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31247"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13684"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31247"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31247\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31249,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31247\/revisions\/31249"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31247"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31247"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
