Seth\u2019s secret recipes<\/strong>
\nMy friend Seth Godin, who hosts the terrific\u00a0Akimbo podcast<\/a>, recently posted a list of\u00a010 \u201csecret recipes<\/a>,\u201d including \u201cVery famous tahini cookies,\u201d \u201cInformal cashew dressing,\u201d and \u201c(Mostly) raw brownies.\u201d The one recipe I\u2019m most exited about is his \u201cAlmost secret, no-sugar, all fruits and nuts Pacojet chocolate ice \u2018cream\u2019 recipe,\u201d but I won\u2019t be making it anytime soon because it requires a $5,000+ appliance I\u2019ve never heard of \u2014 a Pacojet machine, which micro-purees solid blocks of frozen food without thawing. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

A guide for daily “professional” interactions<\/strong>
\nHow to professionally say<\/a>\u00a0is a list of things you might feel like saying at work and the alternative \u2014 more professional way \u2014 you should say it. Example: Instead of saying \u201cThat sounds like a horrible idea,\u201d you can say \u201cAre we confident that this is the best solution or are we still exploring alternatives?\u201d This guide was inspired and compiled from content created by\u00a0@loewhaley<\/a>\u00a0on Instagram, and while some of it might not flow comfortably out of my mouth, I\u2019m inspired to adopt more neutrality and directness in my professional language. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Free weekly wisdom<\/strong>
\nI cut back on the number of newsletters I subscribe too, but one that I am keeping is the weekly\u00a0Brain Food<\/a>\u00a0from Farnam Street. It dispenses pithy \u2014 and sound \u2014 advice about living. In two minutes I get a refreshing reminder of age old wisdom. Free. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Social media distortions<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s been more than three years since I deleted my Facebook account and lately, I find myself using Instagram and Twitter less and less. This list of\u00a08 Ways Social Media Distorts Reality<\/a>\u00a0by the Center for Humane Technology reminded me why I have a 5-minute time limit on my Instagram and Twitter phone apps. I\u2019m especially sensitive to \u201cinformation flooding\u201d and the algorithms are great at tricking me into thinking that everyone is talking about this\u00a0one thing.\u00a0<\/em>As much as I do appreciate a community, I have to remind myself that Twitter and Instagram are not reality. The whole list is worth reading and understanding. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Favorite mind-blowing facts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tim Urban of the explainer site\u00a0Wait By Why<\/a>\u00a0asked his Twitter followers \u201cWhat\u2019s your favorite mindblowing fact?<\/a>\u201d\u00a0 Sample replies:<\/div>\n
    \n
  • The moon and the sun are exactly the same size as seen from Earth<\/li>\n
  • Reno, Nevada is west of Los Angeles<\/li>\n
  • Neutrinos, subatomic particles created in the sun, are so neutral and small and that a wall of lead a light-year thick has 50\/50 chance of stopping one. About 100 trillion of them pass through your body every second.<\/li>\n
  • There\u2019s a giant volcano underneath Yellowstone National Park that would wipe out most life in North America if it were to explode (which it has done at least 3 times in the past that we know of).<\/li>\n
  • Every tool that exists today, from hammers to particle accelerators, has been constructed with others tools, and those with other tools, and so on, and eventually all tools where fabricated with rocks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
