Alien humor<\/strong>
\nIn these dark times I need a little lightness, I need some humor, I need a bit of inspiration. I need\u00a0Inspirobot<\/a>. Inspirobot is an AI that generates inspirational quotes set on an inspirational photo \u2014 you know those posters. Because it is a dumb AI, it generates a lot of nonsense. But every fifth one is foolish in an unconventional way, which is the root of humor. It borders on profundity. Just keep clicking. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Hand Mirror for online meetings<\/strong>
\nHand Mirror<\/a>\u00a0is a one-click camera check (free, Mac only). If you are about to join a Zoom or other video meeting, just click the icon on your menu bar and make sure you look presentable before you go live. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

The best learning videos<\/strong>
\nYouTube is way underrated as an educational institution. You can learn literally anything, including how to do surgery. The challenge is the uneven quality of the average video. One solution is YouTube\u2019s own channel called\u00a0The Learning Playlist<\/a>. YouTube hired experts to curate the best learning videos they could find on a particular subject, and make a playlist for it, all on one channel. I am a happy subscriber. It\u2019s also a good place to begin a search for how to study for a test, to how to organize a community group, and so on. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

3M Scotch Tear By Hand Packaging Tape<\/strong>
\n3M Scotch Tear By Hand Packaging Tape<\/a> looks like ordinary packaging tape. The difference is that you can tear off pieces by hand, instead of having to use scissors or the serrated edge on a dispenser. I started using it years ago and it\u2019s worth the extra price in the safety (no more ripped finger skin) and convenience I gain. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Relaxing deep stretch video<\/strong>
\nThis deep stretch for hips\u00a0YouTube video by Sara Beth Yoga<\/a>\u00a0is 20 minutes long, but flows so well and it\u2019s easy to follow on my phone. It\u2019s relaxing, rewarding and always helps me get rid of the tightness in my hips. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Links to lists, ideas and advice<\/strong>
\nMy inbox has an abundance of newsletters and emails with advice for the current situation, as does my newsfeed. I feel connected, grateful and overwhelmed. Here are the links I found most helpful and am happy to share:<\/p>\n
