Uber pro tip<\/strong>
I often fly in and out of LAX. Uber, Lyft and taxi riders are required to walk or take a shuttle to a lot near the airport to hail a ride. It\u2019s very crowded in the lot and the last time I was there I had to wait over 30 minutes for a Lyft. But I learned in\u00a0this article<\/a>\u00a0that you can take a free hotel or metro shuttle from the airport and hail a ride after you get to the station or hotel. Not only will you save money (no airport surcharge) you probably won\u2019t have to wait as long for a ride. This tip might work at other airports, too. If it does, let us know. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paint with music<\/strong>
I\u2019m playing around with an AI-powered app that enables me to paint music. Appropriately named\u00a0Paint With Music<\/a>, this free web-based app from Google transforms my doodles into music based on its visual form. It\u2019s playful, just a toy and perfect fun for kids. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DIY Book Nook Kit<\/strong>
I had been coveting ready-made book nooks on Etsy for a while now, but I am so happy I waited and bought my I had been coveting ready-made book nooks on Etsy for a while now, but I am so happy I waited and bought my own\u00a0build kit from CuteBee<\/a>. I bought the\u00a0Pray in the Church<\/a>\u00a0kit, but there are other whimsical options. The instructions were easy to understand and it took me a couple hours to assemble, but it was meditative and fun to see it come together. It came with everything I needed, except for two AAA batteries, wood glue, scotch tape and scissors. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon Japan store<\/strong>
Amazon has a\u00a0sub-site dedicated to products from Japan<\/a>. You can buy cookware, toys, gadgets, candy, stationery, clothing, beauty supplies, and more. Many products are Prime eligible, like this tasty\u00a0miso paste<\/a>\u00a0I bought. \u2014 MF

Birthplaces of the most “notable people”<\/strong>
If you\u00a0spin this globe<\/a>\u00a0and zoom in you can learn the birthplaces of the most notable people in culture, science, sports, or leadership (from 3500BC-2018AD). Clicking on their names will take you to their Wikidata page where you can learn more about them. I learned about an\u00a0indigenous princess<\/a>\u00a0who was born near my parents hometown in Mexico. \u2014 CD

Food science guru<\/strong>
By far the nerdiest food YouTube channel out there is\u00a0Adam Ragusea<\/a>\u00a0with 2 million followers. He dives deep into the chemical nature of foods, such as what happens with smoking meat at the molecular level, why fennel and liquorice taste the same, or what is the chemical that makes the smell of rain. But also definitively answers many useful questions like \u201cdo the eggs of happy chickens taste better?\u201d He references obscure scientific journals, does his own experiments, and mixes in delicious recipes you can follow yourself. He is one of the best science communicators working today. I recommend\u00a0Ragusea\u2019s food science playlist<\/a>\u00a0for the full course. \u2014 KK
