A wiki of Aesthetics<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m fascinated by Aesthetics and the people who submerge themselves in these visually-appealing worlds like\u00a0cottagecore<\/a>, which is a romanticized interpretation of western agricultural life (Jonna Jinton<\/a>\u00a0has mastered this). This\u00a0Aesthetics Wiki<\/a>\u00a0has all the links to everything you would ever need to know about aesthetics, including\u00a0how to create your own<\/a>\u00a0beginning with a wardrobe, or how to go about\u00a0blending aesthetics<\/a>\u00a0to create something new (I\u2019m leaning towards\u00a0vintage parisian<\/a>\u00a0plus\u00a0surrealism<\/a>). It is a fantastic rabbit hole. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Hiking snack<\/strong>
\nMy snack of choice while hiking is an\u00a0RXBar protein bar<\/a>. Made of egg whites, nuts and fruit and nothing else. They come in lots of yummy varieties but the only one I carry anymore is the chocolate raspberry, which I never tire of.\u00a0 \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Best older iPad<\/strong>
\n[Update – the 8th generation is actually the latest version, and is available at Apple for $429] I wanted to give my daughter an iPad, but I doubted she needed the biggest, most powerful model, which costs as much as a MacBook Air. After poking around on Reddit, I found the consensus was to get an\u00a08th generation iPad<\/a>. Amazon has 128GB models for under $450. It works with the Apple Pencil and supports the smart keyboard, too. It\u2019s all the iPad she needs for drawing and video streaming. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Light-blocking eye mask<\/strong>
\nThis $8 light-blocking eye mask is my go-to relaxation tool for long flights and drives and meditation and afternoon naps. It\u2019s called a \u201cMen\u2019s Travel Comfort Eye Mask<\/a>\u201d but it\u2019s one size fits all and has adjustable straps. What makes it better than other inexpensive eye masks is the ultra-soft ridge at the bottom of it that prevents any light from leaking in. This mask + noise-cancelling earbuds are the perfect tools for an at-home sensory-deprivation experience. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Amazing triangle juggler<\/strong>
\nSeth Godin sent me a link to this YouTube video of\u00a0juggler Michael Moschen<\/a>, who bounces balls inside a giant wooden triangular structure. The balls make a pleasant percussive sound, and once Moschen gets going with multiple balls, the performance is spectacular. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Constitutionally entertaining<\/strong>
\nOne text has outsized influence on the US, and indirectly, on the world: The US Constitution. It is a nuanced article that benefits from scrutiny. I greatly enjoyed the Amazon special based on a Broadway show that documents Heidi Schreck\u2019s deep and innovative exploration of this key document.\u00a0What the Constitution Means to Me<\/a>\u00a0is entertaining, funny, sobering, dramatic, educational, clarifying, and enlightening. What more could you ask for from an hour and 44 minutes? \u2014 KK<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
