⤷ Death-Cap Mushrooms Are Spreading Across North America ●

If you want, you can click through to the actual article, but I personally think Marius’s mushroom comments are equally (probably more) worth your time. There’s a part of me that wants to giggle about how much Marius knows about mushrooms, but then I remember: It’s Marius. He knows everything about the natural world.

⤷ Keychron’s 4th Generation Low-Profile K1 Mechanical Keyboard ●

I can totally get into the freshly painted keycaps and the slew of updates to this now-4th-generation low-profile mechanical keyboard. At this price, it’s hard not to buy one just to try. Gateron Reds or Browns? Anyone have any thoughts? I’ve read the Reds are quieter and better for office spaces.

⤷ Would You Be Willing? ●

I love tips and tricks like this. Actually implementing many of the conversation and phone etiquette tips has completely changed how much success I have in communicating with people. I wish these types of skills were taught in school.

⤷ Colin Trevorrow's Star Wars 9 Was Full Of Shocking Story Choices ●

It took me a little while to read through Trevorrow’s entire Duel of the Fates script, but it left me wondering what Disney disagreed with. Trevorrow’s finale was the ending the Star Wars sequel trilogy needed. I’d say this script would have taken the sequel trilogy from the bottom of the heap to for sure the middle of the heap, in terms of trilogies.

⤷ Leonardo Da Vinci and Roam Thinking ●

Roam Research really is a powerful, connective thinking tool that can have wide-ranging impacts for so many people. So far, Roam has been my rabbit hole tool — last night I sat down to do my day’s Bible study and got caught going down three or four extra passages because each of them connected to the next. The cool part about Roam is it gets more powerful the more you use it. And building out the “Roam Graph” is almost addicting.

⤷ AtinPiano’s Rendition of Cantina Band from A New Hope ●

The Guitar Hero of the video really ensures the difficulty of this song stands out. Crazy fun to watch his fingers fly around.

⤷ Cloudflare’s New Internet Speed Test Tool ●

I’d say this blows Fast.com and Speedtest.net out of the water, personally. Lots of data to see here.

⤷ The Awesome macOS Catalina Fonts You Didn’t Know You Had Access To ●

Founders Grotesk and Graphik are available to use free of charge, to name but a few.

⤷ Sandwich Made Another Slack Video Ad and It’s So Good ●

It should be noted: Sandwich is the only video-slash-advertisement-slash-production company I recognize, by name. I think that tells the exact tale needed to showcase Sandwich’s team’s talent.

⤷ Christopher Lawley’s Must Have iPad Gear ●

Count me as one of those guys surprised by that first laptop stand. I’m going to give one of the three stands I have sitting in my closet a shot before ordering, but that cheapo Amazon stand looks surprisingly great.
