The 250 best adventure novels of the 20th century<\/strong>
\nVoracious adventure novel reader Josh Glenn put together a list of\u00a0250 of his favorite adventure novels of the 20th century<\/a>, with a capsule review of each book. I\u2019ve already added a bunch to my reading list. Many are available on project Gutenberg and other public domain book and audiobook websites. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Draw something in 6 steps<\/strong>
\nAs someone who is on the never-ending quest to learn how to draw, I really appreciate NYT\u2019s\u00a0How to Draw in Six Steps<\/a>. The visual clips and tips are encouraging. Here is a sketch of\u00a0Pablo\u2019s face<\/a>\u00a0(my dog). \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Correct USB plug orientation<\/strong>
\nYou try to insert a USB plug and it doesn\u2019t fit. You flip it over and it still doesn\u2019t fit, so you flip it back to the original side and now it fits. Ugh! How many thousands of times has that happened? Just remember this: the topside of\u00a0any<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0USB plug will be smooth metal and the underside will have a groove down the center. Keep the smooth side up. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Keep your Mac clean<\/strong>
\nI\u2019ve been using a utility called\u00a0CleanMyMac X<\/a>\u00a0for a number of years. I use it to completely undelete applications (and all their associated files), locate and delete space-wasting unneeded files, and scan for malware. It has a lot of other features, all of which are presented in a simple interface. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Sharpen your skills of deduction<\/strong>
\nOne thing that has helped me unwind at the end of every day is trying to solve logic puzzles on my phone. Something I always loved doing as a kid. I found this free, no ads iPhone app<\/a> ($2.99 on Google Play) called\u00a0Logic Puzzles by Egghead Games<\/a>. There are puzzles for different levels of experience that you have access to, so you can start off easy and work your way up, or alternate between quick and more challenging games. It\u2019s been two months since I downloaded it, and I have solved 80+ games, and I still have 16 more to go before I in-app purchase more, which I will, because it really is fun! \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

The story of my life<\/strong>
\nStory<\/a>, by Robert McKee, is the best book written on how to construct a great story. McKee\u2019s masterclass on story writing is well known in Hollywood. It is condensed into a 4-hour audiobook<\/a> (better than the written book), performed by McKee himself. It is not just a manual for screenwriters; these short 4-hours turned me into a super fan, able to appreciate stories on whole new levels. Indeed, I found this book profound and realized that it is a useful guide to constructing an interesting life, which in the end is also a story. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n
