31 Jul 2018

Feburary 2018 - March 2018 - April 2018 - May 2018 - June 2018 - July 2018 - August 2018 - September 2018 - November 2018 - December 2018 - Yearly Recommendations 2018 - January 2019 - February 2019 - March 2019 - April 2019 - December 2019

I read, watch, listen to, play, and use a ton of different things every month, and I pick out a few of my favorites to recommend.

Augmenting Long-term Memory Michael Nielsen
Lengthy article advocating for and showing how to use Anki to aid in remembering important information in the long-term. I’ve been interested in spaced repetition for a decade or so, but I’ve never really gotten a good system set up around it. This finally helped me get me off my butt, and I’ve now had a strong Anki routine going all month.

Illiteracy (Play in your browser) Le Slo
Fun little puzzle game where you discover what to do through experimentation.

Conspiracy Ryan Holiday
Interesting and detailed account of the Hulk Hogan v. Gawker lawsuit (and all of the surrounding context) that Peter Thiel secretly financed as part of his decade long vendetta to bring Gawker down.
