In my orbit—March 24, 2024

Links that do one thing well

• Printable 1 page year calendar

  Handy little site to create and print a whole year calendar on a single page. Useful for goal setting or project planning.

• Little mac app for clean uninstalls–AppCleaner

  Found this when I was trying to mimic the features I rely on most in the paid CleanMyMac app (which I can’t afford anymore).

• Natural language event creator tool

  Paste disorganized text or give it an image and it will make a calendar event you can add to your calendar with one click. Free, doesn’t seem sketchy.

• Collaborative note app

  Like google docs without needing to log in or make an account. Notes can’t be deleted unless they’re untouched for 180 days.

• How We Feel - emotion tracker

  Created by scientists, designers, engineers, and psychologists. Non-profit.

• Huge AI blocklist for uBlock Origin & uBlacklist

  To block sites that contain AI generated content! 👏🏻

Everything else

• Let’s Crush Capitalism

  A simple entry-level guide to Marxism and socialism, against capitalism.

• Fun painting while not painting?

  Go to this site, and if you like what it is doing you choose PAINT, or if you don’t like what it’s doing you choose NO. Keep doing that to create a little painting!

• A collection of personal Now sites for finding people to collaborate with

  Really cool human-made list of people and their personal Now pages, for connecting with folks who are doing something you might want to collaborate on. Very inspiring! Learn what a now page is, and also here’s mine.

• Terms of service explainer and rankings

  Worked well on my mom to convince her that Facebook and other big sites are creepy AF!

• GF DF breakfast cookie recipe

  I’ve made this a few times now. I add a whole bunch of seeds when I make these because my body requires lots of protein and would self-destruct if I ate only sugar and carbs in the morning. I also use pumpkin puree instead of applesauce cuz that’s what I have on hand.

• My best friend’s fave soup recipe—Curried chicken and rice soup

  I haven’t made this yet but my friend is a great soup recipe discoverer and she makes this particular one a lot because she loves it.
