Notable Quotes<\/strong>
\nA few quotations I\u2019ve recently come across:<\/p>\n

\u201cSo what\u2019s the Original Sin of the Internet? Nearly all business models it supports require spying on consumers and monetizing them.\u201d \u2014\u00a0Bob Sullivan<\/a><\/div>\n
\u201cEverything that needs to be said has already been said. But since no one was listening, everything must be said again.\u201d\u00a0\u2014\u00a0<\/strong>Andr\u00e9 Gid<\/a><\/div>\n
\u201cI always thought burnout happened when you work too much. Now I get it. It\u2019s investing emotionally and then not getting a return on that investment.\u201d \u2014\u00a0@spamap<\/a><\/div>\n
\u201cWhen a person I don\u2019t really know or have a regular relationship with reaches out on email or in the DMs, wanting to hang out or has an ask of me and I do not have the time or desire, I have started simply\u2026 not responding at all. This feels like next-level boundary setting (and next level guilty and selfish, which I am practicing sitting with). Beforehand, I was at the stage where I could say no, but I would have a lot of excuses and wordiness about it. Now, it\u2019s just, delete\u201d. \u2014\u00a0\u00a0Catherine Andrews<\/a><\/div>\n
\u201cTwitter is so low-friction it might as well be lubricated: You can create an account and accidentally get the entire nation of Malaysia angry at you within 20 minutes.\u201d \u2014\u00a0Max Read<\/a><\/div>\n

Trees from all over the world<\/strong>
\nBeing able to identify tree species is something I ache to learn, but I am intimidated by the amount research and reading involved. For now, I just enjoy noticing them and\u00a0taking pictures of them<\/a>. Also, I just discovered\u00a0Monumental Trees<\/a>, a website where people all over the world can submit their tree photos that you can filter by species and country. I still haven\u2019t discovered all this site has to offer, but for now just looking at the photos satiates my curiosity! \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Virtual trip on paper<\/strong>
\nIn a bit of self-promotion, I\u2019d like to recommend my 50-year passion project, the 3 volumes of\u00a0Vanishing Asia<\/a>. In it I photo\u2019d and designed 1,000 pages of old Asia. I am happy that it is finally available on Amazon at a price that is almost as cheap as the original Kickstarter price. In fact with free Prime shipping, it is probably cheaper. (I don\u2019t think Amazon makes any money from selling it.) People who have gotten a set are very happy with the virtual trip it creates. You can easily spend a day or two just paging through all 9,000 images and captions. I can promise a book unlike any other book in the world. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s Easy Flight Tracker<\/strong>
\nYou might already know you can enter a flight number in Google and get tracking information. Another easy way to find out when a flight is departing or landing and if it\u2019s on time is to enter it in Mac OS Spotlight. Also, if you send a message with a flight number, you and the recipient can click it and see where the plane is on a map.\u00a0Here\u2019s more about this handy feature<\/a>. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Babies 101<\/strong>
\nThe 6-part Netflix series\u00a0Babies\u00a0<\/a>changed my ideas about human babies. Babies are far more smarter and adaptable than they appear. This series uses video from scientific experiments on babies to demonstrate their remarkable intelligence and stunning development. I look at them with renewed wonder now. The series is a remarkable work of science communication. I strongly recommend to any parent or grandparent. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Templates for saying no<\/strong>
\nHow to say no<\/a>\u00a0is a collection of email templates that you can use to decline social events, meetings, dates, phone chats and other work-related requests you might get. Some of these are examples given by notable productivity experts like James Clear and Tim Ferris. You can even download these canned templates and install them into your gmail. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n
