Barlow\u2019s stories<\/strong>
\nWhen I took LSD, I got it from John Perry Barlow. Barlow was a famous internet pioneer and a veteran hippy. Barlow was also a semi-politician, pundit, writer, and a most remarkable story teller. He died recently but left an amazing fast-paced memoir behind, which I thoroughly enjoyed. He may not be everyone\u2019s cup of tea, but I found moments of profundity in his autobiography\u00a0Mother American Night<\/a>, a series of tales which I will happily re-read. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Use cloud storage like a local drive<\/strong>
\nI use several cloud storage services. The easiest way to access them is with\u00a0CloudMounter<\/a>, a $49 Mac utility that mounts OneDrive, Google Drive, Amazon S3, Dropbox, and others as local hard drives on my desktop. Setup was painless and it works flawlessly. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Equipping students<\/strong>
\nFew things in life are as satisfying as getting handwritten thank-you notes from school kids for helping them learn.\u00a0DonorsChoose<\/a>\u00a0is a non-profit that features thousands of public school teachers seeking basic school supplies, or extra gear for special projects (rocket kits for science!). The teachers post their pitch. You choose a project. When it gets fully funded they post verification pictures of the kids using the resource which your funds provided, and later they\u2019ll send you a fistful of amazingly detailed (and endearing) letters from the students themselves. You\u2019ll want to do this. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Motorized corner desk<\/strong>
\nI am very happy with my IKEA standing desk. I bought it because I needed an affordable corner desk for my small home office and the\u00a0BEKANT sit\/stand desk<\/a>\u00a0($529) was half the price of other adjustable height corner desks on the market. There\u2019s different sizes and color combos you can choose from and the desk comes with a 10-year limited warranty. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Bamboo gardening gloves<\/strong>
\nI bought these\u00a0$7 gardening gloves<\/a>\u00a0for pulling up roots in my yard. They have a textured, latex grip that kept the roots from sliding out of my hand. They\u2019ve held up well after many hours of hard work. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Keep your hair in place while sleeping<\/strong>
\nI use my\u00a0satin pillowcase<\/a>\u00a0($10) on nights before \u201cno-wash\u201d hair days. The silky pillowcase prevents my hair from getting tangled up or matted so that I barely have to brush it or style it. Beauty blogs claim that these pillowcases also prevent face wrinkles while you\u2019re sleeping, which would be an added bonus if true! I just like how it makes my hair look and how cool and soft it feels. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
