Explore the Tree of Life<\/strong>
\nOneZoom<\/a>\u00a0is an interactive tree of life that allows you to zoom in and out and explore the connections between 2.2 million living species. It\u2019s a lot to visualize and process, but fun to explore. I felt really small and grateful realizing what a tiny little branch of life we are as humans. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Test yourself on African countries<\/strong>
\nAfrica has over 50 countries. Test your geography knowledge with a quiz,\u00a0You Don\u2019t Know Africa<\/a>, that presents you with a blank map of Africa. It then displays a country name, and you have to click on the right country to increase your score by one. You can also test your knowledge of the flags of Africa. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

The remembering place<\/strong>
\nThere is a movie you saw, a song you remember, a book you once read but now you can\u2019t recall the title. You can hold it in your mind\u2019s eye, but it\u2019s name escapes you. A long online search turns up nothing. For an answer turn to the crowd-sourced answer machine that is Reddit. On the subreddit r\/Tip of my Tongue<\/a>\u00a0over 1.8 million redditors might be able to identify your target from your written description. They succeed about 1 out of four times. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Improved Bluetooth trackers<\/strong>
\nTile\u2019s new line of Bluetooth trackers<\/a>\u00a0includes the Pro, which has a 400-foot range and a replaceable battery. Tiles are currently on my car key fob, wallet, and AirPod case, and I just bought a couple more to put on my water bottle and Nintendo Switch case, which I misplace all the time. Tiles now work with Alexa and Hey Google, too. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Cheap foam core boards<\/strong>
\nFoam core is super versatile making stuff. Together with hot glue you can make almost anything \u2013 doll houses, organizers, quick prototypes, kid\u2019s constructions, models, displays, etc. The boards can be expensive at stationary stores. The cheapest source of\u00a0foam board<\/a>\u00a0I know about are 20 x 30 x 3\/16 inch sheets from the Dollar Tree store, at $1.25 per board. They are thin but sufficient and cheap. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

AI art machine<\/strong>
\nDream by WOMBO is an AI art machine that is fun to play with. All you have to do is enter a text prompt and pick an art style to create something weird. This is great for bringing to life imagery from dreams and or designing your own oracle deck. Here are a few I made:\u00a0Dimension of Play<\/a>,\u00a0Guardian Tree Spirits<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Frog Shaman<\/a>. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
