IMG_0001 is a website that streams raw and unedited videos uploaded to YouTube between 2009 and 2012. All these videos were uploaded with default filenames of IMG_XXXX, and there is no identifying information except for the upload date. The random nature of this content and these glimpses into everyday life make me feel like an alien stumbling upon a time capsule of human existence. — CD
We are slowly weaning ourselves away from teflon non-stick pans. So far we’ve found some good ceramic pans that keep their non-stick for years, but contain no plastics. Per a recommendation from Tim Ferriss, we got a titanium-ceramic hybrid pan, which has fantastic non-stick without plastic. We really like the 10-inch Titanium Always Pan Pro frying skillet from Our Place, coated inside with a matrix of alternating titanium and ceramic. It was expensive, a little deeper than a frying pan, but is now what we grab first. – KK
TimeMap.org presents a world mapwith a slider bar that starts at 4000 BC and ends at the present day. As you slide through time, you watch empires rise and fall. Any interesting civilization or event you spot can be instantly researched — just click on it and the relevant Wikipedia article appears in a side panel. — MF
My dog is trained not to jump on the bed or couch unless his special blanket is laid out first. However, we recently discovered that our microfiber duvet cover ($30) repels dog hair, so our house rules have changed. We no longer lay out the blanket and we just invite him up, which he, of course, quickly adjusted to. I’m not sure where all his dog hair goes, but it definitely does not stick to our bedding. Another reason I’m happy with our duvet cover is that it’s made of seersucker, which means it never looks wrinkly. — CD
I like this tiny thermometer that hangs on the zipper pull of my jacket or daypack. It settles the question of exactly how hot or cold it is. The Sun Zipogage ($21) weighs only half of an ounce (13g) and is digital with an on/off button. (Tiny analog thermometers are not readable or accurate.) – KK
This Cevaton Screen Extender adds two 15.6" 1080p screens that wing out from my laptop. I use it when I'm working on my treadmill desk. It folds flat when done and comes with a sturdy carrying case for travel, but both monitors plus the stand weigh about five pounds, so I don't plan to travel with it (I use an iPad as a second monitor when I'm on the road.). It comes with a variety of cables to connect to most laptops. (Note: it won't work with basic M1/M2 MacBooks.) — MF
