Share a secret<\/strong>
\nOne Time Secret<\/a>\u00a0offers an alternative to sharing passwords or credit card numbers via text message with your friends or family. To use it, enter the text you want to into the form and click \u201cCreate a secret link.\u201d The site will create a unique link, like this:\u00a0https:\/\/onetimesecret.com\/secret\/h5mwuomihrdz7ptv3qrphkdv6s8rag4<\/a>. Share that link with your friend. Once it is viewed, it gets deleted, so you can\u2019t share it with a group of friends. If no one visits the link in seven days, it gets deleted. Of course, you have to trust the people behind One Time Secret, which has been in operation for 8 years. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Listen to people’s “forever” memories<\/strong>
\nThe After Life Experience<\/a>\u00a0is an interactive website that will walk you through the process of figuring out which memory from your life to date you would choose to spend eternity reliving. The \u201cFacilitation\u201d process will ask you a series of questions like, \u201cWhen was a moment you felt your most authentic self?\u201d or \u201con a brilliant adventure?\u201d or \u201cin awe of something so much bigger than you?\u201d or \u201cknew you were in love?\u201d and on and on until you\u2019ve decided on your forever memory. You can then choose to record it and share it on the website. I spent thirty minutes listening to\u00a0a stream of stranger\u2019s share the moments in which they chose to spend eternity<\/a>. I cried a lot. There was a woman who lost her son seconds after giving birth and spent the night holding him in a hospital bed. She said it was her event horizon and in that moment there was no past or future. This was the moment she realized that the question of \u201cWhere do we go to when we die?\u201d<\/em>\u00a0is actually the same question as \u201cWhere were we before we came into being?<\/em>\u201d \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Marvelous science documentary<\/strong>
\nScience documentaries are hard to make right. They are either too boring, or too superficial. This new science documentary is just perfect:\u00a0\u00a0The Edge of All We Know<\/a>\u00a0is the astounding story of trying to take a picture of a black hole, which is inherently unseeable. The doc takes the most abstract subject possible and makes it thrilling by following groups competing to create the best image and then negotiating to merge all their results together into one picture. Along the way you get a pretty good idea of what we think black holes are. It streams on Netflix. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Gifting a paid article<\/strong>
\nAll paying New York Times subscribers can\u00a0gift an article<\/a>\u00a0behind the Times\u2019 paywall to others so they can read it for free. Subscribers can gift up to 10 articles per month. This includes posting gifted articles on Twitter or Facebook, so followers are not blocked when you share a great piece. The gifted article does not count against reader\u2019s free monthly allotment. To gift an article, look for the \u201cwrapped gift package\u201d button in the row of badges at the top and bottom of an article to get the link. I wish all paid publications would do this. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Inexpensive, but stylish sunglasses<\/strong>
\nI recently found myself at a mall trying on $100+ sunglasses when I had the realization that I did not want to be doing that or spending that much money on sunglasses ever again. My husband had been raving about\u00a0Carfia\u2019s $20 and below polarized sunglasses<\/a>, so I bought myself\u00a0a women\u2019s pair for $13<\/a>\u00a0and I love they way they look on me, and how the polarized lenses make the outside world look clear and sharp. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Excellent dartboard<\/strong>
\nMy wife bought me a dartboard for Christmas last year and we play darts a few times a week now. She got a high quality dartboard \u2014 a\u00a0Winmau Diamond Plus Tournament Bristle Dartboard<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 and it\u2019s much better than the cheap dartboards I had as a kid. The darts rarely bounce out, and the board has held up well, showing little signs of use. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n
