AR glimpses<\/strong>
\nI\u2019ve been writing about the future of Augmented Reality (AR), where you can see virtual things in the real world. Two short video fantasies by Keiichi Matsuda are key illustrations of what could come. One is\u00a0Hyper-Reality<\/a>, a overly dense packed layer of information and ads, the other is\u00a0Merger<\/a>, a workplace that takes over. Neither are futures I want, but the technology design seems plausible. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Tours by locals<\/strong>
\nWhen I want to find an expert to guide me around in a walking tour in a foreign city, I first look up a freelance local guide on\u00a0Tours by Locals<\/a>. Rates and experience vary. \u2014\u00a0KK<\/p>\n

Good Google Calendar tricks<\/strong>
\nI use Google Calendar to schedule everything. Some of the\u00a0tips in this PC Mag article<\/a>\u00a0were unknown to me, but I\u2019m glad I found out about them. Particularly useful: \u201cFind a Time That Works for Everyone,\u201d and \u201cBlock Off Appointments.\u201d \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Getting the Love You Want<\/strong>
\nI really enjoyed watching the\u00a0Youtube episode of the Smart Couple Podcast<\/a>featuring the authors of \u201cGetting the Love You Want: A Guide for Couples.\u201d\u00a0Harville and Helen<\/a>\u00a0share insights on\u00a0how relationships have evolved over the last few decades and give tips on how to be present with your partner and defuse disagreements. They are such a warm and personable couple that I kind of wish they had their own show I could watch regularly.\u00a0An\u00a0updated third edition\u00a0<\/a>of their bestselling book was released a couple weeks ago. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Outdoor furniture protection<\/strong>
\nThese\u00a0Adirondack chair covers<\/a>\u00a0($22) by Classic Accessories look really good and are made of heavyweight water repellant material. The fabric has handles sewn on so they\u2019re really easy to pull off and put on furniture, which otherwise would be a big deterrent for me. They have a\u00a0variety of covers<\/a>\u00a0to fit all kinds of outdoor furniture. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Golden monkey tea for less<\/strong>
\nEver since I tried Teavana\u2019s Golden Monkey Tea a few years ago, no other tea can compare to its bold flavor. The problem is that\u00a02 ounces<\/a>\u00a0cost $22. I\u2019ve tried other, less expensive, brands of golden monkey tea to no avail, but finally found one that is as good as Teavana. It\u2019s called Yunnan Golden Special by Tealyra and\u00a04 ounces<\/a>\u00a0cost $15. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
