Digital IDs (US)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the US, mobile digital IDs can replace your state\u2019s driver license, so there would be no need to carry a card if you had your phone. A handful of states have their own state ID app (California, Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Utah), and a handful of states allow an ID in an Apple Wallet (Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, Georgia), even fewer states accept Android wallet, and only 6 airports in the US accept digital IDs for TSA. However there are 30 states in the process of adopting digital IDs so availability is in flux. I just downloaded and enrolled in the California DMV Wallet<\/a> app, which the TSA at San Francisco\u2019s SFO will accept in their pilot program. \u2013 KK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cross-body bag<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Maxtop cross-body belt bag\u2019s<\/a> compact design allows me to discreetly tuck it under my shirt or jacket, significantly reducing the risk of pickpocketing. The bag\u2019s multiple pockets comfortably hold my passport and essentials, making it great for travel. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find interesting places nearby<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

NearbyWiki.org<\/a> is a map you can use to find places nearby that have their own wikipedia page. I discovered that one of the last independently owned radio stations in the Bay Area is broadcasting from a house two blocks away. \u2014 CD <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Books belonging on paper<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A few years ago, we ran a website edited by my wife, Carla Sinclair, that showcased visual reference books \u2013 art books, comics, photography books, pop-ups, atlases, and so on. We realized these were books that belong on paper and were worth keeping as books (they don\u2019t disappear). You can still visit the site (called Wink<\/a>), but it hasn’t been updated recently. We are repacking all this visual greatness into a new free newsletter: Books That Belong on Paper<\/a><\/em>. Each issue will feature two books from Wink, complete with updated links to purchase them. We hope you subscribe! \u2014 MF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Good Friends Look Like<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This article on \u201cWhat Good Friends Look Like<\/a>” prompted me to reflect on the qualities of my closest friendships. The author introduces Tim Urban\u2019s \u201cDoes This Friendship Make Sense\u201d Matrix, a framework for evaluating friendships by dividing them into four quadrants. Q1 friendships are both healthy and enjoyable, Q2 friendships are healthy but not enjoyable, Q3 friendships are enjoyable but not healthy, and Q4 friendships are neither healthy nor enjoyable. But the quicker method is Tim Urban\u2019s Traffic Test \u2014 a metaphorical test where you and a friend are in a car together driving home. If you’re hoping for traffic because you enjoy their company and conversation, they pass the test. If you encounter traffic and feel a sense of dread, they don’t pass. I realized I might have a couple of those traffic-dread friendships, but that just inspires me to dig deeper into our conversations.  \u2014 CD  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Screenshot this!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The easiest way to capture a screenshot on an iPhone is to say \u201cHey Siri, screenshot this.\u201d It\u2019s hands-free and idiot proof. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
