SFO Museum<\/strong>
\nFor years the San Francisco airport has been accumulating and displaying stellar modern art throughout its four terminals. They now call this ongoing collection the\u00a0SFO Museum<\/a>. Though thinly dispersed, IMHO it\u2019s one of the better modern art museums today,. It is well worth going to their website to discover where the works are and what is showing. Most are in post-security areas, so it\u2019s convenient if you have extra time once checked in, or are in transit. I\u2019ve been seeking them out with great pleasure. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

How to persuade, distilled<\/strong>
\nA whole book (\u201cInfluence\u201d by Robert Cialdini) on the key scientific principles of how to persuade people \u2014 get them to change their mind or behavior \u2014 has been expertly compressed into a 12 minute doodle video. It\u2019s so compressed you might need to review\u00a0The Science of Persuasion<\/a>\u00a0more than once. The principles work! \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Find your taste charts<\/strong>
\nTwo images I find myself pulling up from time to time are 1)\u00a0this chart of apple varieties lined up from most tart to most sweet<\/a>, and 2)\u00a0a visual guide to major types of wine grouped by flavor characteristics<\/a>. I may never be able to articulate tasting aromas or textures, but at least I\u2019ll be able to pick a delicious wine I\u2019ll enjoy. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Find the perfect pet bird<\/strong>
\nI\u2019ve owned birds in the past, and I\u2019m not in the market for one now, but my daughter showed me\u00a0this fun quiz<\/a>\u00a0that matches you up with the perfect type of pet bird and points you to rescue centers near you so you can adopt one. The quiz result said my kind of bird is the lineolated parakeet, and I agree. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Remember what you read<\/strong>
\nIf you read books on Kindle or iBooks you should be using\u00a0Readwise<\/a>. I got turned on to Readwise by Recomendo readers Chris Galtenberg and Len Edgerly almost two years ago, and it\u2019s become an integral part of how I read and retain the words and ideas that grab me. Every passage I highlight in my Kindle is auto-imported and sent back to me in a thrice-weekly email (you can choose the frequency and number of highlights you receive). This service is free for a trial period. I pay $4.99\/per month for the upgraded version that allows you to import highlights from other sources, like Medium and Twitter. And I also have it synced to my Evernote account, so that anytime new highlights are imported, my Evernote is updated immediately. Using Readwise makes me want to read more and highlight more, I\u2019ve even started inputing the highlighted passages from my favorite paper books. You can read a random selection of my highlights at:\u00a0https:\/\/readwise.io\/@claudia<\/a>. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

My favorite mayonnaise<\/strong>
\nI\u2019ve been spoiled by\u00a0Kewpie mayonnaise<\/a>, made in Japan. No other mayo comes close. The secret is extra egg yolk and MSG. My kids and I squeeze it on everything (especially sweet potato chunks roasted in coconut oil). Kewpie also has a U.S. made version, but Amazon sells the real Japanese version. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
