Calm zooming<\/strong>
\nUnexpectedly, you can decrease the fatigue of zooming all day if you don\u2019t see your own image on the screen all day. The easiest way to hide your self picture in Zoom is to hover over or right-click your image until a blue square appears in the upper right corner. Click on the 3 white dots, and in the dropdown menu, click on\u00a0\u201cHide Self View\u201d<\/a>. Once it was gone I noticed the absence of an irritant I had not been aware of before. Zooming is calmer. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Visual search engine for kids<\/strong>
\nKiddle.co<\/a>\u00a0is an illustrated, large-font search engine designed specifically for kids . It\u2019s powered by Google Safe Search so only family-friendly results are returned. If any \u201cbad\u201d words are entered you get an \u201cOops, try again!\u201d I tried to break it by searching for whatever \u201cadult\u201d words I could think of. \u201cDeath\u201d told me to try again, \u201cDying\u201d directed me to a\u00a0Death facts for kids page<\/a>, which is interesting. I don\u2019t have a kid, but if I did this would be their homepage. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Colorful bowls<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m a fan of colorful plates, cups, and bowls, so when I saw this set of\u00a0six porcelain bowls<\/a>\u00a0last month on Amazon I bought them without first checking the size. (A rookie mistake!) Fortunately, they aren\u2019t the size of thimbles. In fact, they\u2019re bigger than I expected, which is a bonus, as I\u2019m a hearty eater. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Font identifier<\/strong>
\nEvery now and then I come across some text whose style I find attractive and I wonder what font they are using. I grab a shot of it and slip it into the\u00a0\u201cWhat the Font\u201d<\/a>\u00a0website which usually can (90% of the time) identify the font. I don\u2019t know if there is a better identifier but this free one works for me.\u00a0 \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

DIY Spice Chart<\/strong>
\nI came across this\u00a0cool visual guide<\/a>\u00a0to making your own spice blends on Reddit. It made me realize I should be utilizing my coriander more often.\u00a0\u2014 CD<\/p>\n

How to remove stuck cups<\/strong>
\nIn a recent issue of my Magnet newsletter, I asked readers to help me separate two coffee cups that somehow got stuck together. (It\u2019s the\u00a0second-to-last item<\/a>\u00a0in the newsletter.)\u00a0 Almost all of the hundreds of suggestions I received involved cooling the small cup and heating the big one to allow thermal expansion to do its work, but that didn\u2019t help. Can Recomendo readers come up with a solution? Send email to:\u00a0markfrauenfelder+stuckcups@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 MF<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
