A newsletter full of problems<\/strong>
\nI like reading the\u00a0Houston newsletter<\/a>. Once a week, the top 5 problems posted on the\u00a0Houston forum<\/a>\u00a0are shared as an email, and by then people have either commiserated over having the same problem or in some instances shared a website\/app as a solution. Like this problem of\u00a0counting calories when you eat out<\/a>.\u00a0I am not interested in finding ideas for a startup, but it\u2019s interesting finding problems I didn\u2019t know I had. \u2014 C<\/p>\n

Best knot tying instructions<\/strong>

A terrific podcast about Artificial Intelligence<\/strong>
\nI started listening to\u00a0Sleepwalkers<\/a>\u00a0a couple of weeks ago. The hosts talk to software developers, ethicists, artists, doctors, military professionals, and other people who are creating, using, regulating, and thinking about AI and how it\u2019s affecting every aspect of life on Earth. Instead of inviting guests into the studio, the hosts go into the field and talk to their guests where they live and work, which makes all the difference. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Better anti-wrinkle patches<\/strong>
\nA few years ago I\u00a0recommended using Frownies<\/a>\u00a0at night to prevent the forehead wrinkles that happen when you furrow your brow, which I tend to do a lot while I sleep. I\u2019ve now switched over to\u00a0Facial Smoothies<\/a>\u00a0because they are easier to put on, less noticeable, and they cost less \u2014\u00a0one pack is $16 and lasts almost four months. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Musical travel<\/strong>
\nLatcho Drom<\/a>\u00a0is a 25-year old French documentary that explores the historical migration of (and connection between) music from the nomads of western India to the Roma deep in the heart of Europe. It has no narration, and essentially no speaking at all. The film just follows music being played and sung by genuine local musicians in their authentic homes as it travels westward.\u00a0The film itself is a long song and quite unlike anything else I\u2019ve seen. You can watch it in full on YouTube. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Step-by-step solutions to math problems<\/strong>
\nScan almost any textbook math problem with your phone\u2019s camera and\u00a0Photomath<\/a>\u00a0will generate a step-by-step solution instantly. The app works for iOS and Android and it\u2019s free. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n
