Drawing lamp<\/strong>
\nMy daughter needed a lamp to light up her drawing board, so I bought this\u00a0$15 CeSunlight LED clip-on lamp with a flexible neck<\/a>. She can adjust the brightness and color temperature and to provide the ideal illumination for her work. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

A website of untranslatable words<\/strong>
\nI enjoy browsing this\u00a0website of 500+ words<\/a>\u00a0that don\u2019t translate, because I\u2019m always intrigued by the concepts I had no idea existed, like \u201cqarrtsiluni,\u201d a North Alaskan Inupiatun word for sitting in the darkness, waiting for inspiration to strike you, or \u201c razbliuto,\u201d a Russian word to describe the feeling for someone you used to love but no longer do, or \u201cvellichor,\u201d which I think may be made up but is a much needed word to address \u201cthe strange wistfulness of used bookstores.\u201d It\u2019s weird how once I learn a word for something I was hardly aware of before that I can instantly recall feeling it in the past. I would like to know the word for that. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Failing, while being right<\/strong>
\nWhile failure is to be avoided, no teacher is as powerful. The tech startup General Magic failed big time, but it was also one of the most influential companies of all time that no one has heard of. Its all-star team of tech wizards invented the smartphone 15 years too early.\u00a0General Magic\u00a0<\/a>is a fantastic documentary about the dilemma of dreaming big versus paying attention to reality. It\u2019s now streaming on Amazon Prime ($0.99). \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Delightful Twitter feed<\/strong>
\nFor my Twitter feed I like following people who surprise me, and ideally, delight me. (Outrage is exhausting.) No one reliably surprises me with delight as much as\u00a0Kurt Kohlstedt<\/a>, director of the 99% Invisible podcast. His Twitter feed delivers a steady stream of unexpected discoveries and insights. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Excellent indie movies for free<\/strong>
\nMy Los Angeles Library card entitles me to 8 free movies on Kanopy a month. Your local library probably has a similar Kanopy offering. It\u2019s like Netflix for classic, foreign, documentary. and indie films.\u00a0Visit the site<\/a>\u00a0to see what they have. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Important life lessons thread<\/strong>
\nJulie Zhuo<\/a>, Product Design VP at Facebook, asked \u201cWhat\u2019s your most important life lesson that you wish you learned ten years earlier?\u201d and Twitter answered. My favorite replies were \u201cBetter understand your inner child issues so that your subconscious becomes conscious.\u201d \u2014 @AmandaMGoetz, and \u201cThe grass is always greener because it\u2019s been fertilised with bullsh*t. Enjoy what you have.\u201d \u2014 @pTah_XV. Here\u2019s\u00a0the full thread<\/a>. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n
