AI-gen video<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Machine generated video is coming fast. Google just released their version, Veo 2<\/a>, this month, which is now one of a dozen apps that turn text instructions into cinematic video, in your choice of styles. Jason Silva used these apps to create a 13-minute film called The Arrival of the Psychedelic Puppets<\/a> that is weirdly trippy yet coherent in a dream-like way. His theme is that AI-generation is a new kind of psychedelic. Years from now this video will seem incredibly primitive, but right now it is the most stunning example of what one person will be able to achieve soon with these new tools. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10-year AirTag battery case<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

TimeCapsule<\/a> is a clever solution for extending AirTag battery life from 1 year to 10 years. Just remove the standard coin battery and put the Airtag in this waterproof case that uses two AA batteries. It’s valuable for tracking high-value items like camera gear or items in long-term storage. Around $20. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visual network of connections across time<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Network of Time<\/a> is a website that lets you choose two historical figures and connect them through a series of photographed encounters across time. It\u2019s a fun way to waste time, and fascinating how it visually demonstrates the interconnectedness of human experiences and relationships throughout history. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work in making art<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I especially enjoyed The Work of Art: How Something Comes from Nothing<\/a> by Adam Moss, a book that inspects the work processes of world-class artists. The artists range from painters, to poets, to musicians, screenwriters, comedians, photographers, and so on. Adam Moss is my favorite magazine editor; he gets the diverse artists to let him watch them work and through his firm questions best understand exactly how they create, including their detours, and mistakes along the way. The book is innovative in its layout and a work of art itself. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flat outlet plug<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Sleek Socket<\/a> is perfect for getting furniture closer to walls. It plugs into any 3-pronged outlet and provides three power ports via a flat cable that can be neatly routed along walls. It comes with adhesive clips for cable management. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filters to use before talking<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Someone on Reddit posted a visual to show the internal filters<\/a> they use before speaking. However, I found the most valuable filtering advice in the comments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Is this something that needs to be said?<\/li>
  2. Is this something that needs to be said by me?<\/li>
  3. Is this something that needs to be said by me right now<\/em>?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    I also agree with another comment that the simplest filter process is always: \u201cIs it kind? Is it true? Is it necessary?\u201d Another one to add to the EQ toolkit is a filter I learned this year for therapeutic settings, which is simply to WAIT\u2014Before you speak ask your Why Am I Talking? <\/em>and reflect on your intentions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
