Exquisite documentary<\/strong>
\nI\u2019ve watched my share of mountain climbing documentaries. A new one,\u00a0Meru<\/a>, streaming on Netflix, is among my favorites. Meru is a stone fishtail peak in the Himalayas that had remained unsummited until recently because it required climbers to haul their own 200 pounds of gear for the final overhang wall routes. The lure of this doc is that it includes an intimate record of two attempts by the same team, the first one failing within 100 meters of the summit. It also documents unbelievable disasters and horrors the climbers endured to before starting the second. Because two of the three ace climbers happened to be world class photographers (one works for National Geographic), no other high adventure has been this well documented, or as beautiful. The climbers are intelligent, warm and humble \u2014 and obsessed. Meru is a stunning experience, expertly crafted, comprehensive in capturing all moments, yet briskly edited, and a joy to watch. It entails the most innovative, thorough, and brilliant photography I\u2019ve seen in any documentary. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Emoji to go<\/strong>
\nI found a good\u00a0searchable emoji database<\/a>\u00a0to use in the\u00a0Future Now Newsletter<\/a>\u00a0I write for Institute for the Future. You can search for emoji by subject, and when you find one you like, just copy and paste it as you would with any text-based character. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Vital podcast<\/strong>
\nSupreme Court decisions can be monumental in their consequences, but they often hinge on very specific, sometimes messy cases.\u00a0More Perfect<\/a>is a super podcast from the folks at Radio Lab that burrows deep into the specifics of Supreme Court cases, in order to illuminate their logic and meaning. All the episodes are fantastic, but a recent one on the Commerce Clause in the US Constitution \u2014\u00a0One Nation, Under Money<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 is especially great. I was shocked how little I knew about this clause, and consider this audio lesson to be essential listening for any American. No matter what your political tilt you\u2019ll be perturbed, and educated. Afterwards, listen to the rest of the shows. \u2014 KK.<\/p>\n

Watch movie trailers<\/strong>
\nI love getting to the theaters early enough to watch all the movie trailers.\u00a0Trailernite.com<\/a>\u00a0is non-stop trailer watching. If you don\u2019t like it, just hit next. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Simple reminder note<\/strong>
\nIf there\u2019s an affirmation or inspirational quote I\u2019m really loving, I save it as my iPhone wallpaper so that I see it every time I open my phone until I\u2019ve absorbed it or I\u2019m sick of it. I\u2019m sure there are lots of wallpaper apps you can download for free to create your own wallpaper, but I just use my Notes app and copy and paste text into a new note (centering it in the middle of the screen) > screenshot it > save to Photos > Use as Wallpaper. Right now my background just says \u201cPause.\u201d \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Smallish green wirebound notebook<\/strong>
\nThis\u00a08\u00bc\u201d x 6 \u215e\u201d spiral bound notebook<\/a>\u00a0costs $3.50. It has light green paper and 30 college-spacing rules per page. I like the smaller-than-usual size because it takes up less room on my desk and in my backpack. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
