How to fake influence<\/strong>
\nI blurbed this self-published book,\u00a0Under the Influence<\/a>, which explains how popular influencers on social media make a living by buying fake followers, fake likes, and fake comments. It will tell you how to do all that. It was written by Trey Ratcliff, a photographer who has actual followers and real influence. I blurbed the book because it is more than just a take-down of the dark side; it\u2019s about how to have real, enduring, positive influence by being creative, producing real engagement, and being honest. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Advice from books<\/strong>
\nI recently started a weekly newsletter called\u00a0Book Freak<\/a>. Each issue has three short pieces of advice found in books. Here\u2019s an example, from issue 7: \u201cIf you want the law to leave you alone, keep your hair trimmed and your boots shined.\u201d \u2015 Louis L’Amour, The Man Called Noon (1970) \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Death checklist<\/strong>
\nI came across\u00a0this checklist<\/a>\u00a0and immediately bookmarked it. It\u2019s a list of what to do after a death occurs. I compared it to other lists floating around online and liked this one best because of it\u2019s practical reminders to take care of unpaid bills, contact the post office, etc. May be a bit morbid, but I like to be prepared. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

This vacuum cleaner really sucks<\/strong>
\nThe\u00a0Bissell Zing Canister<\/a>\u00a0(model 2156A) was only $50 and it exceeded my expectations. It is bagless, quieter than any other vacuum cleaner I\u2019ve owned, and has powerful suction. It\u2019s great for hardwood floors (I don\u2019t know how well it works on carpeting since we don\u2019t have any). \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Find fake people that look like you<\/strong>
\nThis website (Have They Faked Me?<\/a>) matches your selfie against AI-generated photos and tells you how close you are to being faked. You might be helping them to create more fakes, but it\u2019s still kind of fun. It\u2019s weird to see pictures of women that look so human and look sort of like me, but don\u2019t exist at all. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Earphone adapters<\/strong>
\nFor a reason that no longer makes sense, airlines use a headphone jack that has two prongs, one for each ear channel, instead of the standard single \u215b\u201d plug used everywhere else. That means you need a small 1-to-2 adapter if you travel with your own earphones\/earbuds. These adapters are tiny, easily lost or left behind. I wanted to replace the several units (extra for companions) that I carry and lost, and could not figure out what they are called to order them. No specification I could think of worked. \u00a0Eventually I discovered they are called\u00a0Airline Headphone Adapters<\/a>. You are welcome. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n
