Family improvement<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
I learned some valuable techniques and got a lot of wise guidance for cultivating a happy family from the book The Secrets of Happy Families<\/a> (2013). Much of it I wished I had known earlier when our family was younger. There\u2019s a bunch of self-improvement advice out there, but not much on family-improvement, so this is highly recommended. \u2014 KK<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
T-handle plunger<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Hardly anyone makes luggage without wheels now. But for some crazy reason, most toilet plunger don\u2019t have T-shape handles. The T-shape top allows you to plunge sinks and toilets with greater force and control. Do yourself (and your wrists) a favor, get a plunger like the Korky Telescoping T-Shaped Handle BeehiveMAX Universal Plunger<\/a>. \u2014 MF<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
A newsletter of offbeat research<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
One of my favorite newsletters is TITAA<\/a> (Things I Think Are Awesome) by Lynn Cherny, a data scientist consultant who sends out a monthly roundup of whatever she finds interesting in the fields of creative AI, generative art, science fiction, fantasy, games, folklore, poetry and more. It\u2019s weirdly fascinating and always inspiring. Here is a link to the archive<\/a>. \u2014 CD<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Science twitter follow<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
A swell account I follow on Twitter is Massimo<\/a>. They consistently posts the most interesting science-y, curious, and educational stuff. (And no outrage!) It bills itself as \u201cAstronomy, astronautics, meteorology, physics. Engineer, trying to build the big picture of #science<\/a> via selected & curated pics, videos & links,\u201d which it does spectacularly well. \u2014 KK<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
