It\u2019s about the zigzagging insane quest to surf a 100-foot wave. Because there is no professional surfing without professional photography to record it, this 12-part series documenting all 30 years of the quest is incredibly complete and cinematic. Big wave surfers are unique human beings. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Build your own notebook<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>My secret to journaling every day is using custom notebooks. I previously recommended&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.recomendo.com\/i\/95096725\/customize-your-own-journal\">Papier<\/a>&nbsp;as a source for beautifully designed journals that you could customize with a title and name, but I&#8217;ve now moved on to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/denik.com\/products\/custom-hard-cover-notebook?variant=39450033913953\">Denik.com<\/a>&nbsp;for full customization. I uploaded a design I created using Midjourney and Canva and received my notebook within 10 days after ordering. Here&#8217;s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/substack.com\/profile\/23887829-claudia-dawson\/note\/c-17130997\">what my diary looks like<\/a>.\u2014 CD&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Hair detangling brush<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>My wife purchased this&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/detangler\">battery-powered hair detangling brush<\/a>&nbsp;when our kids were young, and she, along with my daughters, continue to use it whenever their hair becomes knotted. Instead of traditional bristles, this brush features paddles that rotate back and forth, effortlessly gliding through knots and mats in the hair. It&#8217;s like magic! \u2014MF<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Free library card for teens<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many public libraries in the US are underfunded, or ban politically incorrect books. Teenagers anywhere can get access to the big city Brooklyn (NYC) Public Library which can lend you 300,000 ebook titles, and 200,000 audio books, including books banned elsewhere. To get a free library e-card, start with this&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bklynlibrary.org\/media\/press\/brooklyn-public-library-94\">page<\/a>. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Learn about optical illusions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m fascinated by optical illusions and how they challenge my perceptions. I&#8217;m currently working my way through this collection of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/michaelbach.de\/ot\/index.html\">151 Visual Phenomena &amp; Optical Illusions&nbsp;<\/a>with explanations on how they work. My mind always feels bendy and agile after just a few minutes spent on the website. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>What to do when police ask to search your car<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re pulled over by the police and they ask to search your car, remember these key words: &#8220;Officer, you do not have permission to search my car.&#8221; This is a crucial piece of advice offered by criminal defense lawyer Kirk Piccione. In his\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/xIZz0vF2KPo\">instructional video<\/a>, he guides viewers through potential responses should the officer respond with, &#8220;OK, then we&#8217;ll have to wait for a drug dog to sniff the outside of your car.&#8221; Once more, your best response is, &#8220;Officer, you do not have permission to search my car.&#8221; Beyond this, Piccione advises calmly and periodically asking if you&#8217;re free to go. This underscores that you&#8217;re not voluntarily remaining on the scene and that you&#8217;re being unreasonably detained by the officer, which can help you in court. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kevin2kelly\">Kevin Kelly<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Frauenfelder\">Mark Frauenfelder<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/clauddaws\">Claudia Dawson<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recomendo &#8211; issue #362<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[2323],"tags":[2324],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41286"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41286"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41286\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":41287,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41286\/revisions\/41287"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41286"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41286"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41286"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
