Stuff I Like

Curiosity Stream is a streaming documentary service with thousands of films about history, science, nature, travel, biography, etc. $20.00 a year, on the Web, or with an App.

Baronfig makes high quality notebooks, planners, and great pens.

I recommend two free email newsletters: Emerging Tech Brew and Morning Brew. Both are well-written, interesting, and not over-the-top marketing drivel.

I use Literature and Latte’s Scrivener, a Swiss army knife of tools for writers. Download the 30 day free demo version for yourself.
