Erasable highlighters<\/strong>
\nThese\u00a0erasable highlighter pens\u00a0<\/a>really work as advertised, at least on non-glossy books. The eraser is smooth and by rubbing on the paper, it produces heat, which causes the highlight mark to vanish completely. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Laughing at evil<\/strong>
\nFor something completely different in movies, I recommend the intensely dark comedy\u00a0The Death of Stalin<\/a>. As the New Yorker said, its humor \u201cis so black you could pump it out of the ground.\u201d Normally trivializing evil is not something I could enjoy, but this story, loosely based on historical facts, is so over the top and well done, it was funny. Laughing at the horrifying atrocities seemed the only sane response. The movie skirted the soul\u2019s edge, but it worked for me. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Free PDF editing<\/strong>
\nMy Acrobat Pro maxed out on being able to reduce the size of a PDF. I used\u00a0Smallpdf<\/a>\u00a0to finish the job and it reduced it by half. It\u2019s free to use twice per hour. There\u2019s a lot of other editing features you can you use too. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

7-minute workout<\/strong>
\nI am a minimalist. What is the least amount of exercise I can do with max benefits? Answer: Just\u00a0seven minutes of calisthenics<\/a>. For the past several years I\u2019ve been using a 7-minute workout app on my phone, which is also great for traveling. Many versions to choose from, including that simple one from the New York Times. My favorite app is free, no upsell:\u00a0Johnson & Johnson\u2019s Official 7-Minute Workout<\/a>. \u00a0\u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Cable management<\/strong>
\nIt didn\u2019t take long for my new kitten to discover all the fun cables dangling behind my desk, so I bought these\u00a0black sleeves<\/a>\u00a0to keep them tied together and concealed. Now it looks neat and sleek. I also bought this\u00a050-piece set of velcro cable ties<\/a>\u00a0to tidy up all the cords around our house. It\u2019s practically a lifetime supply for only $7. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Best song identifier<\/strong>
\nI\u2019ve been using the SoundHound smartphone app for years to identify songs, but my 15-year-old told me to switch to\u00a0Shazam<\/a>. She\u2019s right, it\u2019s much easier to use the features that I need. My favorite way to use: If I\u2019m in a store or a coffee shop that\u2019s playing unfamiliar music that sounds great, I just press the large button on the screen and it will grab the title and artist of every song and save it for later. I can then easily add the songs to Apple Music (you can also save to Spotify) and save them to my library. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n
