- Napkin AI This is AI software that helps make interesting and creative graphics based on your inputs. I have found it simple to use and helpful from time to time when turning boring lists into something more interesting in the context of teaching (handouts and slide decks).
- Cool online thesaurus Came across this recently in one of the newsletters I read. Immediately bookmarked it. I imagine it would prove useful for writers, teachers, and students.
- Window Swap Website Every once in while I dial this up on my laptop while I am working on my desktop. I find it equal parts relaxing and fascinating. Some views are better than others, but it is easy to switch things up.
- Discussion on YouTube This is a great discussion about the decline of reading and its deleterious impacts on society. Worth a listen.
- Day One journal app Productivity and lifestyle gurus usually advise journaling as a positive habit. Science also backs up the habit. I have been a keeper of a journal off and on for most of my life because I like keeping a record of my life. I think it is the same inclination that leads me to find history interesting and to want to track my personal (QS) data. This is a digital journaling app that I love. Two cool features I dig include the ‘on this day’ feature, which allows you to see what you were doing on a particular day in the past, and the geolocation feature, that tracks where you were when you made the post. It works great on a phone or a desktop.
