Immersive art destination<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

TeamLab produces immersive destinations that are worth going out of your way to see. They began in Japan, where they have four huge installations that offer entertaining environments, using lights, mirrors, video, projectors and other media magic inside giant rooms. Our family spent an exhilarating 3 hours in the TeamLab Borderless<\/a> site in Tokyo wandering through the mazes of experiences with constant smiles. It dazzled kids and elders. Even though TeamLab have become Instagram hot spots, and art snobs consider it too commercial, I would recommend making a trip to experience Borderless yourself. Go with friends, it\u2019s more fun. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listen to whale codas<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Project CETI\u2019s Listen to Whales<\/a> website is an immersion into the codas and culture of cetaceans, inviting you to literally listen in on sperm whale family life and history. The project uses AI to listen to, decode, and translate sperm whale communication. I love how CETI reframes whales as cultural beings with their own clans, dialects, and stories, and has created this living platform to share what they\u2019re learning in real time\u2014and to inspire meaningful action to protect our oceans. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kitchen drawer multitool<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I keep this Workpro 24-in-1 Multitool<\/a> in a kitchen drawer for quick fixes so I don’t need to shlep down to the basement for my toolbox. It handles minor repairs: tightening a loose cabinet hinge, snipping a zip tie, prying open a battery compartment. The pliers are solid, the knife is sharp, and the Phillips and flathead screwdrivers cover 90% of household fasteners. Folds to about the size of a thick marker. Not a replacement for real tools, but perfect for “I just need to fix this one thing” moments. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compact travel toy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve long been a big fan of Magna-Tiles, which are small plastic squares that act as parts of a construction system for kids. The tiles rely on magnetic edges to build things easily. You can build a million different things, like Lego, but it is much easier to do than Lego. Even toddlers can master them without boredom. They now make MicroMags<\/a>, tiny compact versions of mini-Magna-Tiles, perfect for travel. A small set of MicroMags will fit into a slim box about the size of a standard book, and give restless kids enough options to occupy them for hours. Small enough to pack in luggage, but set out on a table, they invite playful engagement. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Correlation Experiment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Correlation Experiment<\/a> has you answer questions about everyday preferences so it can predict your answers based on data correlations. I don\u2019t like being predictable, so I loved when its predictions went wrong\u2014out of 60 questions, it missed about 20%. After a while, though, I was insulted by the misses: it pegged me as not<\/em> an inbox zero person, guessed comedy over horror, and said I don\u2019t make my bed first thing in the morning. No login needed, and it\u2019s fun to play. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free iPhone storage cleaner<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Clever Cleaner<\/a> is a free iPhone app \u2014 no ads, no subscriptions, no paywalled features. It scans your photo library for duplicates and similar shots, identifies large videos hogging space, and rounds up forgotten screenshots. A \u201cSmart Cleanup\u201d button lets AI select which duplicates to trash, or you can swipe through photos manually. All processing happens on-device, so your photos never leave your phone. It\u2019s made by CleverFiles, the folks behind Disk Drill data recovery software. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n\n\n\n
