      <description><![CDATA[A true rarity: A shop carrying the world’s two greatest waters (in terms of excellence in bubble texture). These two are incredibly distinct from one another but both are spectacular. Topo’s edge is its bubble longevity, which really seems to defy science. It’s a quality that can only be described as magical.

      <description><![CDATA[I wrapped up my daily publishing experiment and began the next one.
On December 22, 2020, I began an experiment. I decided to write and publish a blog post/thread, somewhere between 250-1000 words, every single day for 100 days, and for no particular reason.
I did that, and during some pretty difficult times at work and at home.
It was easy. 👇
This, after a series of 7,000(ish) days during which I wrote a handful of things, all for very important reasons, and never published them. ~20 years, a f...]]></description>

David Vargas (@dvargas92495), the creator of RoamJS, has done it again. We can now do more with YouTube inside of @RoamResearch: Timestamps and looping! This thread demonstrates a few ways I’m using these features. Full demo here: https://youtu.be/9RuHGSqT0h0 👇
I’m sure Roamans will enjoy the ability to take notes at specific timestamps in a video or YouTube-uploaded podcast, but to me that’s not the most game-changing part…

A quick little Zettelkasten fancy… Let us whisper of a dream…
What if bottom-up writing/notetaking/thinking (same thing) works just as well, if not better, for fiction as for non-fiction? 👇
Why do stories need to be conceived top-down? Who says that’s a rule? Stories are more freeform than arguments even. Aren’t they?
What should you do when that moment of inspiration strikes? That character, that single scene, that feeling, that image… What if you just wrote it down for...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The Nervousness/Excitement Trick
I don’t remember where I learned this, but there’s a trick that sometimes works when you’re super nervous/anxious about something you have to do: Change the self-talk from “I’m so nervous/scared/anxious” to “I’m so jazzed/excited/tingly.” 👇
This probably doesn’t work for people with serious anxiety problems, and it only sometimes works for me, but what’s neat about it is that the physical sensations are really quite similar between nervous and excited.

      <description><![CDATA[Pop Lullaby List
Wendell (my 1-year-old) has had a 104 fever today, and though it looks like it’s broken (he’s sweating), it took a lot of songs to get him to sleep tonight.
Here are some pop songs I like to sing as lullabies to my kids, with links to every music service, where possible. 👇
“Everyday” by Buddy Holly: https://song.link/us/i/1434889884
“Only You” by Yazoo: https://song.link/us/i/302300885
