Snooze browser tabs to read later<\/strong>
\nTab Snooze<\/a>\u00a0is a free chrome extension that has replaced my Pocket subscription. I can save articles, videos or any webpage and schedule it to reopen as a browser tab whenever I want. Which works better for me because it was always too easy to forget the articles I saved in Pocket. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Soothe sore muscles<\/strong>
\nI bought this $55\u00a0Actigun percussion massager<\/a>\u00a0after my neighbor raved about hers. Instead of just buzzing like most vibrating massagers, a percussion massager rapidly beats your muscles with a hard rubber ball (or other included attachment). It works wonders on my calves, which often get sore because I walk at least five miles every day on a treadmill desk. One day a couple of weeks ago I foolishly wore rubber sandals on the treadmill and my calves were so sore the next day I could hardly walk. A few minutes with this massager made them feel much better. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Radio Garden App<\/strong>
\nIn a past issue of Recomendo I recommended the\u00a0Radio Garden website<\/a>, which plays radio station feeds from all over the world. Reader Chris let me know that Radio Garden now has apps for\u00a0Android<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0iOS<\/a>. The functionality of the apps is the same as the website. Chris says,\u00a0 \u201cBasically it\u2019s an interactive map of the world with indicators for thousands of radio stations. You click on one of the green dots and suddenly you\u2019re listening to radio from that part of the world. The sound quality is remarkably good and there are a number of features to enhance the listening experience. I\u2019ve spent hours listening to music from Africa, the Mideast, and Asia already. I must say it\u2019s one of the coolest apps I\u2019ve come across in quite some time. Check it out if you haven\u2019t already.\u201d \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Prescription dive mask<\/strong>
\nI wish I had realized years ago that you can get scuba masks with inexpensive prescription lenses. My wife needs heavy duty glasses, with severe -10 corrections, and was otherwise blind underwater. But she got a great simple diving mask with -10 lenses for $60. This\u00a0Promate Slender Mask\u00a0<\/a>is available with Rx lenses from GetWetStore. Now she can snorkel with the rest of us. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Hidden iPhone scanner<\/strong>
\nI recently realized my updated\u00a0iOS has a scanner hidden within my Notes app. It works just as good as the\u00a0paid subscription app<\/a>\u00a0I previously recommended. All you have to do is create a new note in your Notes app and above the keyboard you will find a row of icons, one of which is a camera icon. Select the camera icon and you\u2019ll find the option to \u201cScan Documents.\u201d\u00a0Further instructions here<\/a>. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Best label maker<\/strong>
\nTwo kinds of people in the world: those who put labels on things and those who don\u2019t. I am a labeler. I\u2019ve long had a Brother battery-powered portable labeler, but the new\u00a0Brother PTD450<\/a>\u00a0is even better because it can connect to my computer via USB, which I find much easier to use if I have a lot of labels to make. Just import the text. All Brothers use the same P-Touch family of waterproof tapes in multi-colors and widths. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
