Library of the mysterious<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you’re curious about the occult and esoteric but unsure where to begin, Vestus Mysteria<\/a> is a great newsletter to subscribe to. Joe<\/a>, the writer, is a history buff who provides clear and easy-to-understand context on the most mysterious subjects. I appreciate that he includes links to sources and book recommendations for those who want to learn more. Each issue feels like taking a sip of the unknown. Here\u2019s a link to a recent issue where he explains the origin of the phrase “Dark Night of the Soul<\/a>“. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best blinds<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In our home we went with window blinds instead of curtains. Over three decades we\u2019ve tried all kinds of blinds, and have settled on these Persilux Cellular Cordless Shades<\/a> as the best. Through some kind of magic you can raise or lower the blinds with two fingers, and the blinds will rest at the level you leave it. There are no strings to haul or to get tangled. You can get translucent or blackout versions. A number of different brands make them; the key words seem to be \u201ccellular cordless.\u201d The Persilux brand has worked great and I order them online. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public Domain Review Print Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Public Domain Review website resurfaces forgotten visual treasures and literature. It\u2019s one of my daily visits. Its online store offers museum-quality prints<\/a> from their vast archive of historical art, illustrations, and curiosities. Check out this surreal 1892 illustration of meteor showers over Niagara Falls<\/a>. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultra-slim reading glasses<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These nearly flat ThinOptics reading glasses<\/a> are made from elastic nitinol metal and shatterproof polycarbonate and weigh less than two sheets of paper. The genius is their magnetic case, which attaches to your smartphone for quick access and secure storage. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capture your thoughts on the go\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

AudioPen<\/a> is a voice recording tool that transforms my rambling thoughts into coherent, well-structured text. I recommended it last year, but it\u2019s worth resharing since it\u2019s now available as an app on both iOS<\/a> and Android<\/a>. The free version allows you to record voice notes up to 3 minutes long and save up to 10 processed notes, all without needing a credit card. The prime version offers more features, including the ability to record up to 15 minutes, save unlimited notes, and adjust the writing style. I continue to use AudioPen regularly for summarizing calls, capturing ideas, and drafting newsletter posts. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fantastic history museum<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Museum of the History of the Polish Jews<\/a> in Warsaw, Poland is one of the best museums I\u2019ve ever visited and I\u2019ve visited a lot of museums. It\u2019s a several hours meander through recreated time periods over thousands of years, which immerses you into that period with brilliant veracity. It emphasizes the everyday life at each period, which makes it larger than just a Jewish experience. I recommend a visit to the museum even if you are only interested in the art of exhibits, storytelling, and immersive experiences. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
