Find a quiet place to eat<\/strong>
Use the\u00a0Soundprint app<\/a>\u00a0to measure the noise level in public places and share your findings with other people who appreciate quiet environments. A map shows the decibel measurements of coffee shops, clubs, parks, and restaurants around the world. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Super image search<\/strong>
Google has famously not added anything to its simple and austere search page in 20 years. But recently they added something special: a little camera icon. This is\u00a0Google Lens<\/a>. You can drag an image into the Google\u2019s search bar and use AI to do many more things that Google Image does. If it is a common image it can tell you the source of the image. If it is an uncommon image it can show you similar images. If it is a product, it can identify it and suggest sources. If it is a plant or living creature it can identify it. It can translate foreign scripts, including mathematics. If I am searching for something that has an image associated with it, I can often find much better results, faster, searching via the image in Google Lens. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Screenwriting resource<\/strong>
Screenplays.io<\/a>\u00a0is the ultimate repository of movie and tv screenplays. It\u2019s easy to search and filter by genre and there are thousands of scripts available to read for free. I like to read them for fun, but it\u2019s also a useful learning resource. \u2014 CD\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n


iPhone battery saving tip<\/strong>
Since I deactivated background app refreshing on my iPhone (Settings > General > Background App Refresh), the battery charge has lasted much longer. My apps will no longer run int the background, but I haven\u2019t noticed any difference in the way the phone works. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Best Star Wars so far<\/strong>
The Star Wars series\u00a0Andor<\/a>\u00a0is the best Star Wars so far. And I\u2019m not the only one who thinks so. There are no jokey comedic relief scenes, so it seems aimed squarely at adults rather than kids. You feel for the villains. It has unexpected turns.\u00a0 Also it has the most sophisticated science fiction world-building since DUNE. Twelve episodes on Disney+. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Unblock your creativity<\/strong>
Here\u2019s a visualization to help unblock the creative process by Julian Shapiro. He calls it the \u201cCreativity Faucet\u201d:

Visualize your creativity as a backed-up pipe of water. The first mile is packed with wastewater. This wastewater must be emptied before the clear water arrives. \u2026 Let\u2019s apply this to creativity: At the beginning of a writing session, write out every bad idea that unavoidably comes to mind. \u2026 Once the bad ideas are emptied, strong ideas begin to arrive.<\/em>

Here\u2019s his more thorough explanation of\u00a0why this works<\/a>. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n\n\n\n
