Podcasts about notebooks

In this episode: I'm talking about the wrong way I was doing this podcast from scheduling when to work on it, to how seriously to treat it, to realizing I need to freaking relax and come here as myself, an AuDHD perimenopausal woman. And I fell into what I think is accidental genius when I said, "Just because you have EXTRA (time, money, bandwith, etc.) doesn't mean you have to GIVE IT AWAY. YOU ARE ALLOWED TO RESERVE."  Special Patreon Offer For August - Jen's Birthday Month! Choose from one free month of Patreon or get 28% off annually!

In this episode: I talk about why the original name for this episode was "Different Chairs For Different Things" as I explain that Zone Zoning is simply doing different tasks in different areas of your home and office in order to set internal boundaries, and create novelty and motivation to help with getting stuff done as an ADHD/AuDHD human.

SSDs und Arbeitsspeicher sind weiter teuer, und wie die c't-Experten Christian Hirsch und Florian Müssig analysieren, wird das vorläufig so bleiben – und zwar nicht nur ein paar Wochen lang, sondern eher auf einige Jahre hinaus. Aber derart lange vorhandene PCs und Notebooks weiter zu nutzen und die Speicherkrise einfach auszusitzen, ist nicht für jeden praktikabel. Lässt sich ein Neukauf nicht weiter hinauszögern, sollten auch Gebrauchtgeräte in die Überlegungen einbezogen werden. In diesem Video-Podcast stellen wir Hardware-Empfehlungen zusammen und diskutieren Alternativen wie externe SSDs oder Aufrüsten. Auch warnen wir vor einigen Fallstricken, denn inzwischen ist auch der Gebrauchtmarkt ganz schön abgegrast. Die empfehlenswerten Gebrauchtgeräte sind Firmenrückläufer. Was nach drei Jahren abgeschrieben ist oder aus dem Leasing fällt, geht an Refurbisher, die sich um Details wie das Aufspielen gültiger Windows-Lizenzen kümmern. Aber weil auch die Firmen unter den gestiegenen Neupreisen leiden, nutzen viele die Geräte fünf Jahre und länger. Entsprechend ältere Geräte dominieren nun den Gebrauchtmarkt. In vieler Hinsicht ist das kein Risiko, weil wichtige Techniken wie schnelle Prozessoren, vollwertige USB-C-Ports und auch die Windows-11-Tauglichkeit seit vielen Jahren üblich sind. Aber Vorsicht ist dennoch geboten, da einige Händler nun auch die verstaubtesten Ladenhüter auf den Markt bringen. Und einige Details wie gute Mikrofone und Webcams kamen teils erst deutlich nach Corona in Mode und in die Firmengeräte. Christian und Florian geben weitere Tipps und erklären, warum auch die Gebrauchtpreise mit den Speicherpreisen steigen. Im Windows-Bereich sollte man Intel- oder AMD-Geräte kaufen. ARM/Qualcomm holt zwar auf, aber die guten Prozessoren sind im Gebrauchtmarkt noch nicht zu finden. Genau anders herum bei macOS: Für Intel geht die Unterstützung absehbar zurück, also sollte man gebrauchte Apple-Hardware nur mit M-Prozessoren kaufen – der M1 ist für vieles weiterhin schnell genug. Dem Aufrüsten – sowohl der eigenen Geräte als auch etwaigen nur zu schwachbrüstig gefundenen Gebrauchten – sind enge Grenzen gesetzt: Bei vielen Notebooks ist der Speicher fest aufgelötet, der Prozessor inzwischen immer. An die SSD-Module kommt man zwar bei manchen Modellen, aber fast alle Firmen-Notebooks vertragen nur ganz bestimmte Module. Die c't-Redakteure erklären, warum man dann nicht einmal herausfinden kann, welche Module das sind. Spannend in dieser Hinsicht sind die modularen und aufrüstfreudigen Notebooks vom Hersteller Framework. Diese durchaus erfolgreiche Firmenstrategie führt allerdings dazu, dass Framework im Gebrauchtmarkt kaum eine Rolle spielt. Die Zusammenhänge erläutert Florian. Besser sieht's bei Desktop-Rechnern aus. Passende RAM-Riegel und SSDs lassen sich einfacher finden, und mit etwas Vorplanung verträgt das Mainboard sogar noch ein paar neuere Prozessorgenerationen. Trotzdem empfehlen Christian und Florian, gebrauchte Notebooks und PCs komplett zu kaufen, vor allem aufgrund der Händlergewährleistung. Das ist auch der Hauptgrund, weswegen die c't-Redakteure vom Privatkauf abraten – oder man sollte sich zumindest der Risiken bewusst sein, auch in Bezug auf Verschmutzungen oder Windows-Lizenz. Zudem haben die Consumer-Baureihen inzwischen manchen technischen Fortschritt erst später bekommen als die Business-Baureihen. Ach, und wer Gaming-Grafik erwartet, der Podcast geht ausführlich drauf ein, aber die Kurzform ist: das gibt der Gebrauchtmarkt nicht her.

In this episode: I talk about how I'm a hot mess right now and somatics has kept me sane. I also talk about how ADHD/AuDHD keeps us disconnected from our bodies which is not great for our minds and what we can do about it! Take a somatics class with Jen! Click here.

Work life balance is a myth, but work-life integration is a possibility. There are certain phrases that catch on quick, everyone starts repeating them and they are all over social media. Work life balance is one of those phrases. Everybody is saying, but no one is actually doing it.  Or knows how to do it. Maybe it is time to try work-life integration because balance is a myth. Balance sounds amazing in theory. We all want what it promises—calm, order, peaceful.  We have this idea of what balance must look like. We've chased it like it is the final boss level of adulthood. But we fail day after day. We tell ourselves if we could just find the right planner, right system, right schedule, then everything will fall into place.  There is a reason we can't achieve balance, because it is a myth.  We aren't failing to find it. The version being sold was never meant for real life. It assumes clear lines, equal categories, and predictable days. It assumes your responsibilities sit politely in separate boxes and wait their turn. That is adorable. Also false. So instead of chasing balance, I want to offer a better goal: work-life integration. Not a perfect life. Not a flawlessly managed life. Not a color-coded, guru-approved life where everyone thrives at all times and nobody ever has a meltdown. Just a life where you have moments of peace, calm, and one you enjoy. Let's talk about work-life integration. Show notes and links: https://lifeunboxed.blog/work-life-integration/ Grab your guide today!

Google hat NotebookLM in Gemini Notebook umbenannt. Am Namen hängt wenig, an dem, was darunter liegt, umso mehr: Jedes Notebook kann jetzt Code ausführen, Daten auswerten und Diagramme erzeugen. Ich habe das an zwei eigenen Notebooks durchgespielt. Aus einer Deep Research zu KI-Kompetenzen im Mittelstand habe ich 52 gefundene Quellen auf 17 reduziert. Aus einem zweiten Notebook zu Tool-Neuerungen habe ich mir Kosten ausrechnen lassen, was eine Trainerin im Monat für ihren Stapel zahlt. Anschließend habe ich die Zahlen auf den Anbieterseiten nachgesehen, und da stimmten sie nicht mehr. Dollar gegen Euro, Add-on gegen Bundle, Listenpreis gegen Aktionspreis. Nicht falsch gerechnet, sondern nicht dasselbe verglichen. Dazu mein eigener Fehler: Ich hatte die Ergebnisse zuerst von einem anderen KI-Tool verifizieren lassen und erst mitten in der Arbeit gemerkt, dass ich damit eine Behauptung gegen eine Behauptung stelle. Das nimmst Du aus dieser Episode mit: → Was sich durch die Umbenennung ändert und was nicht: Adresse, Links und Notebooks bleiben → Was der abgesicherte Cloud-Computer wirklich bringt und für welche Tarife er verfügbar ist → Warum Quellen kuratieren Deine Aufgabe bleibt, auch wenn die Recherche automatisch läuft → Wofür das Werkzeug stark ist: eigene Daten, Feedback, Evaluationen → Wofür es nicht taugt: Preise und Verfügbarkeiten aus dem Netz → Warum eine saubere Tabelle wie ein geprüftes Ergebnis wirkt, obwohl sie nur eine geordnete Behauptung ist Die Prompts aus der Episode: "Werte ausschließlich die Quellen dieses Notebooks aus. Erstelle eine Tabelle mit Spalten: Kompetenzbereich, konkrete Kompetenz, Belege aus Quellen, Relevanz für KMU, Trainingsimplikationen. Kennzeichne widersprüchliche oder nicht ausreichend belegte Aussagen als Prüfpunkt." "Erstelle aus den recherchierten Neuerungen eine Tabelle mit Tool, Anbieter, Anwendungsfall, Verfügbarkeit, Kostenmodell, Relevanz für Trainer. Werte aus, welche Kategorien am häufigsten vorkommen, und visualisiere das als Diagramm." Bis demnächst in Deinem Ohr,  Deine Mareike

In this episode: If you want to journal but can't get started, here's a hack I think I made up - copy and paste the long texts and emails you already wrote today, and that's your journal entry. I talk about why the words you write to other people are often more honest than what you'd write for yourself, and what you'll notice about your own patterns once you have a month of them to read back.

Are you tired before the day even starts? You wake up at four in the morning with your to do list marching around in your head. It might be time for a mental-load detox. The mental-load is exhausting because it is not just about what you do. It is about everything you are constantly remembering, planning, anticipating, and carrying before the day has even fully started. Before your feet hit the floor, your brain is already churning. You are thinking about all the things that need to get done. The appointments, the work schedules, the email you forgot to answer, and of course what's for dinner.  Show notes and links: https://lifeunboxed.blog/mental-load/ Grab your guide today!

A inteligência artificial já faz parte da rotina de muitas empresas. Mas, além de automatizar tarefas e acelerar processos, ela também está mudando o próprio computador usado no trabalho. Nesta edição do Podcast Canaltech, conversamos com Murilo Tunholi, técnico de PR da ASUS Brasil, para entender como a fabricante enxerga essa transformação e por que acredita que os notebooks corporativos caminham para uma nova geração. Durante a entrevista, Murilo explica a estratégia da ASUS para crescer no mercado brasileiro de PCs corporativos, detalha as diferenças entre as linhas ExpertBook e mostra como recursos como inteligência artificial local, múltiplas camadas de segurança e garantia com atendimento no local podem fazer diferença para empresas de todos os portes. A conversa também esclarece um ponto importante: nem todo notebook com IA funciona da mesma forma. O executivo explica quais modelos realmente processam inteligência artificial localmente, por que isso é importante para proteger dados sensíveis e como essa tecnologia deve ajudar profissionais no dia a dia sem substituir o trabalho humano.

Welcome to another episode of the Bowie Book Club, where wild speculation and grasping for straws about Bowie's favorite books has reigned supreme since 2016. This time we read Basquiat - The Notebooks edited by Larry Warsh - just like the ones you used in grade school, but probably worth a lot more!

This week, we have two Bens! Ben's friend Ben Rosenzweig joins us to discuss "The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge" by Rainer Maria Rilke. We discuss our personal relationships with Rilke's work, love and death, and how this book smacks of gender.As always, we hope that you enjoy the conversation.

Tell me if this sounds familiar: you buy a beautiful notebook, excited by all its possibilities to help refine your thoughts and generate new insights. Then it sits unused until you forget about it. The problem is not *what* notebooks you own but instead *how* you use them. In this episode, Cal walks through the four different notebooks he owns, and the four different ways he uses them. Below are the questions covered in today's episode (with their timestamps). Get your questions answered by Cal!

Welcome to another episode of Spun Today, where we explore the creative process and the world of storytelling through the eyes of a writer. In this episode, we dive into "A Night Out," the latest short story to come from the Spun Today vault—a thriller born from a vivid dream shared by my brother, David Ortiz. It's been a while since the last short story release, and I reflect on the challenges of carving out time for writing amidst life's whirlwind of big changes—reminding all writers to defend their creative time as they would any other responsibility. We pull back the curtain on how this story was conceived, from the initial dream spark to the slow unwinding of resistance and procrastination, all the way to a finished piece that unfolds like a cinematic experience. Join us as we break down the origins, themes, and creative choices behind "A Night Out," a story woven from a mix of harrowing real-life what-ifs and the kind of moral dilemmas that keep both characters and writers up at night. Whether you're here for the inspiration, the storytelling, or the craft, this episode is for anyone who knows that creativity isn't just about having ideas—it's about nurturing them until they bloom.   The Spun Today Podcast is a Podcast that is anchored in Writing, but unlimited in scope.  Give it a whirl.      Twitter: https://twitter.com/spuntoday  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spuntoday/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@spuntoday   Website: http://www.spuntoday.com/home  Newsletter: http://www.spuntoday.com/subscribe      Links referenced in this episode   Check out the short story: https://www.spuntoday.com/shortstories/anightout   Purchase your copy of Melted Cold TODAY! https://amzn.to/456Aw8D   Get your Podcast Started Today! https://signup.libsyn.com/?promo_code=SPUN (Use Promo code SPUN and get up to 2-months of free service!)   Check out all the Spun Today Merch, and other ways to help support this show! https://www.spuntoday.com/support     Check out my Books   Make Way for You – Tips for getting out of your own way ÁBRЕТЕ CAMINO: CONSEJOS PARA DEJAR DE SER TU PROPIO OBSTÁCULO (Spanish Edition) FRACTAL – A Time Travel Tale Melted Cold – A Collection of Short Stories   http://www.spuntoday.com/books/ (e-Book, Paperback and Hardcover are now available)   Fill out my Spun Today Questionnaire if you're passionate about your craft.  I'll share your insight and motivation on the Podcast: http://www.spuntoday.com/questionnaire/     Shop on Amazon using this link, to support the Podcast: https://amzn.to/4km592l      Shop on iTunes using this link, to support the Podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewTop?genreId=38&id=27820&popId=42&uo=10   Shop at the Spun Today store for Mugs, Notebooks, T-Shirts and more: https://spuntoday-shop.fourthwall.com/   Music: https://www.purple-planet.com   Outro Background Music: https://www.bensound.com   Spun Today Logo by: https://www.naveendhanalak.com/   Sound effects are credited to: http://www.freesfx.co.uk   Listen on: ApplePodcasts | Spotify | Pocket Casts | YouTube | Website

Mac Geek Gab 1148 hands you a fresh stack of Quick Tips you’ll actually use. You’ll find out how Mark recovered every one of his accidentally deleted iMessages with Control-Command-4 (or the Recently Deleted view), undo a botched Finder rename with a casual Command-Z, and automate Theater Mode on your Apple Watch so it goes dim and quiet at night without Sleep Focus. You’ll pick up several ways to email a Safari webpage or just its link, learn to strip out distracting page clutter before you share, and finally understand why Apple Music can hijack your Mac’s default speaker output. Then you’ll hear why speakers deserve real thought before you buy a Mac mini, how to coax a stubborn Time Machine disk into ejecting cleanly, and a low-tech trick for AirTags too slippery to grip at battery-change time. When Doug’s M4 Pro MacBook Pro started beach balling and pausing apps from low memory, you’ll get the full playbook for clawing back storage, from spotting the culprits in your menu bar to pruning Downloads and clearing out bloated Messages and Apple media. You’ll walk through Adam’s step-by-step approach to slimming down iMessage storage, learn how to stop copying and pasting invisible white-on-white text that haunts Contacts and email, and speed up a sluggish macOS Contacts app with a clean iCloud re-sync. Keep these moves in your back pocket and don’t get caught with a full drive and a spinning beach ball. 00:00:00 Mac Geek Gab 1148 for Monday, June 29th, 2026 June 29th: National Bacon Burnt End Day MGG Monthly Giveaway – Win a license to SaneBox Quick Tips 00:00:01 Mark-QT-You can recover recently deleted iMessages ^Cmd-4 (not 5) 00:03:45 Scott-QT-Cmd-Z works to undo Finder Renames, too! 00:05:06 Larry-QT-Automate Theater Mode on Apple Watch 00:06:36 Hans-QT-Email a Safari Webpage to Someone 00:08:17 Russ-QT-Apple Music can override the Mac’s default speaker output Volumio 00:11:42 Adam-QT-More on Cmd-I (and Cmd-Shift-I) in Safari to mail a webpage (or the link) Likely based upon the web page's print.css Also File – Export as PDF 00:17:39 Safari – Hide Distracting Items The (no-longer-actively-developed) Printliminator 00:21:33 Doug-QT-Think about speakers when buying a Mac mini Insta360 Link 2 Pro 00:28:02 Bill-QT-Try Jettison, Mole, and more to eject resistant volumes 00:30:36 Dom-QT-Use tape or thimbles for slippery AirTags Sponsors 00:32:06 SPONSOR: Coveron.

Tonight we are in a horrifying hospital and we cannot escape!

What does success look like for you? We have so many people defining how to be successful that we need to pause and define it for ourselves. How to be successful. Is it defined, in your mind, by a bigger house, a bigger car, and a bigger bank account? This is how traditional success is typically defined. But for the work from home and homeschool mom, how to be successful looks completely different. The Instagram reels will try to tell us success looks like six figures, or a homestead, or perfect sourdough bread. But that also doesn't work for work from home and homeschool moms. It is time to go outside of the box and define how to be successful on our own terms. We need a definition that fits real life, not a polished fantasy. Show notes and links: https://lifeunboxed.blog/how-to-be-successful/ Grab your guide today!

Shawn Mahoney of NFPA's Technical Services team joins Drew for his fourth time on The Fire Protection Podcast, and this one covers a lot of ground before landing on a problem the industry keeps stepping over: construction-site fires. You've seen the headlines. A light wood-frame building goes up mid-construction, and the whole thing is gone, like the Denver complex that took a 238-unit building with it, or the South Park fire in North Carolina that killed two workers. Shawn's point is blunt: we already have the standard to prevent this. It's NFPA 241, the Standard for Safeguarding Construction, Alteration, and Demolition Operations, and it's been around since 1930. It's referenced by NFPA 1, NFPA 101, the IBC, and the IFC. "The biggest issue is people just aren't using it," Shawn says. The code isn't broken. Enforcement is. Drew and Shawn dig into why adoption is so piecemeal, what real enforcement looks like (Boston shuts a site down if the fire prevention program manager isn't there), the legislative push after the North Carolina fire, and what the Fire Prevention Program Manager actually has to do day to day. Before that, they preview the NFPA Conference & Expo in Las Vegas, including Drew's Tuesday session on AI and fire protection, how AI has reshaped the codes world through NFPA LiNK, CASI, and the new Notebooks feature, and why data centers and small nuclear reactors are creating fire-protection problems in towns that have never seen anything like them. Join Drew for Episode 96 for a real conversation about why the standards we already have only matter if someone enforces them. Topics covered: Inside the NFPA Conference & Expo in Las Vegas AI in fire protection: NFPA LiNK, CASI, and NFPA Insights LiNK Notebooks for codes, checklists, and impairment permits Data centers and small nuclear reactors as emerging fire risks Light wood-frame construction fires and why they're catastrophic NFPA 241 and the enforcement gap The Fire Prevention Program Manager role   Timestamps 00:00 – Introduction 02:27 – Inside the NFPA Conference & Expo 05:35 – AI in Fire Protection 07:46 – Data Centers & Small Nuclear Reactors 09:13 – NFPA LiNK, CASI & NFPA Insights 12:00 – LiNK Notebooks 15:21 – NFPA 241: A Standard Since 1930 16:50 – Why Wood-Frame Construction Fires Are Catastrophic 19:07 – Referenced Everywhere, Enforced Almost Nowhere 20:36 – How Boston Enforces 241 25:54 – The Fire Prevention Program Manager Role 28:33 – Educational Videos & NFPA's YouTube Channels 30:23 – Conclusion

Can you actually work from home for mom and homeschool six kids? How is that even possible? Won't everyone demand your attention at the same time—kids, clients, curriculum, laundry, and the random crisis of the day? Is it truly possible to build a business and homeschool without completely losing your mind? Work from home for mom brings up a lot of questions and doubts. However, here's what I've learned along the way: it is possible to work from home and homeschool. It isn't effortless. It isn't picture-perfect. But it is absolutely doable—and it can even be deeply rewarding. Let me tell you how I got here and what has actually made it happen for work from home for mom. Show notes and links: https://lifeunboxed.blog/work-from-home-for-mom/ Grab your guide today!

Movie tickets? Bought. Notebooks? Out. Butts? In seats. The Mandalorian and Grogu was the first theatrical release we had the opportunity to see during Growing Up Skywalker's run—and what a joy it was to see Star Wars on the big screen!This week, we're covering the first half of the movie, from opening credits to Embo's first appearance, and parsing themes of fatherhood, masculinity, and bread-and-circus blood sports. We discuss the strategic importance of this movie in giving movie-only fans a taste of the New Republic in its heyday. We also sing the praises of Rotta the Hutt (he who paints arenas with blood and sets the stage for a classic Mandalorian-style romp) and Zeb, who is only getting better with age.Next week, join us for the back half of The Mandalorian & Grogu!Timestamps:00:00:00 Who Are We?00:02:45 Plot Summary00:13:15 The New Republic and Subcontractor Reliance00:31:13 We Have Heart Eyes For Rotta the Hutt00:50:32 Zeb!00:57:43 Bae Watch01:04:03 Closing ThoughtsWant more Growing Up Skywalker?

In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with my wife, Zoila Ortiz, to share her powerful story of living with multiple sclerosis. We dive deep into her first symptoms, the uncertainty of diagnosis, and the emotional and physical challenges that come with MS. Zoila walks us through her search for information, the importance—and dangers—of online self-diagnosis, and the strength found in community. Through candid discussion, Zoila offers an inside look at adapting to adversity, the rollercoaster of medications (Glatiramer by injection (Copaxone) and Fingolimod (Gilenya) to the current day infusion Rituximab which is a monoclonal antibody). We touched on clinical trials, and the vital role of support systems. She talks openly about how MS can impact confidence, independence, and daily routines—but also about how determination and a strong mindset can turn even the most daunting obstacles into new paths forward. We dig into the importance of raising awareness, supporting one another, and using our platforms to connect and inspire. Tune in for a conversation about resilience, empathy, and the healing power of storytelling—and learn how you, too, can advocate for others and yourself.   The Spun Today Podcast is a Podcast that is anchored in Writing, but unlimited in scope.  Give it a whirl.      Twitter: https://twitter.com/spuntoday  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spuntoday/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@spuntoday   Website: http://www.spuntoday.com/home  Newsletter: http://www.spuntoday.com/subscribe    Links referenced in this episode:      Follow Zoila: @melodyrosa2083   What is Multiple Sclerosis video from ASAP Science: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Naecv3h868c   To donate for MS research or partake in activities like Bike MS, Walk MS, or just to learn more, check out the National MS Society: http://www.nationalmssociety.org/     Jpmetz YouTube Page: https://www.youtube.com/@jpmetz     Get your Podcast Started Today! https://signup.libsyn.com/?promo_code=SPUN (Use Promo code SPUN and get up to 2-months of free service!)   Check out all the Spun Today Merch, and other ways to help support this show! https://www.spuntoday.com/support     Check out my Books Make Way for You – Tips for getting out of your own way ÁBRЕТЕ CAMINO: CONSEJOS PARA DEJAR DE SER TU PROPIO OBSTÁCULO (Spanish Edition) FRACTAL – A Time Travel Tale Melted Cold – A Collection of Short Stories   http://www.spuntoday.com/books/ (e-Book, Paperback and Hardcover are now available)   Fill out my Spun Today Questionnaire if you're passionate about your craft.  I'll share your insight and motivation on the Podcast: http://www.spuntoday.com/questionnaire/     Shop on Amazon using this link, to support the Podcast: https://amzn.to/4km592l      Shop on iTunes using this link, to support the Podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewTop?genreId=38&id=27820&popId=42&uo=10   Shop at the Spun Today store for Mugs, Notebooks, T-Shirts and more: https://spuntoday-shop.fourthwall.com/   Music: https://www.purple-planet.com   Outro Background Music: https://www.bensound.com   Spun Today Logo by: https://www.naveendhanalak.com/   Sound effects are credited to: http://www.freesfx.co.uk   Listen on: ApplePodcasts | Spotify | Pocket Casts | YouTube | Website

Geek Pride Day kicks off an episode packed with the kind of tips you’ll actually use. You’ll learn why Shift+Tab is your fastest escape from a runaway numbered list, how holding the lower-left CarPlay button summons Siri, and why copy/paste (and drag-and-drop) between apps still beats exporting and re-importing every time. You’ll also get the real story on Comcast’s email migration (spoiler: it’s not mandatory), discover why the Screenshot app blows past Command-Shift-5 (and -4), and figure out how to shut down the fake browser notifications hijacking your Mac. Then it’s into the meaty stuff: whether those no-name fast chargers are quietly cooking your devices, and the brands the guys actually trust to plug in without worry. Public charging stations look innocent until they aren’t, so the crew breaks down power-only cables, data blockers, and the chillingly clever O.MG Cable from Hak5: Don’t Get Caught handing a stranger the keys to your iPhone over a free USB port. You’ll get strategies for sharing organized photo libraries with the non-Mac humans in your life, dock recommendations for driving external monitors from your laptop, and a stacked Cool Stuff Found run featuring Gifski for gorgeous animated GIFs, WhatCable.uk for decoding that mystery USB-C cable in your drawer, Talk For Me v3 piping text-to-speech into FaceTime calls, and free GigSky eSIM data for Visa Signature cardholders heading abroad.

This episode of Alchemical Dialogues features host Henry Cretella in conversation with Micha-El (Alan Berkowitz) on the life and teachings of Paul Brunton, and the intersections of Sufism, Vedanta, and other contemplative traditions. The discussion begins with Henry describing how he first encountered Brunton's book The Short Path to Enlightenment, which he initially bought simply because of the title but left unread for years. Later, through engagement with Sufi practice and references to figures such as Ramana Maharshi and conversations within his spiritual circle, he returned to the book and found it deeply meaningful. Micha-El shares his background growing up in suburban New York in a non-religious Jewish family, where institutional religion felt empty and unengaging. During his time at Cornell University in 1969, amid political and social upheaval, he experienced an existential crisis. Feeling disillusioned with both activism and academic structures, he was directed to the American Brahmin Bookstore in Ithaca, associated with Anthony Damiani. There he encountered a comparative study of spiritual traditions, including Buddhism, Hinduism, Sufism, and Western mystical thought, all presented in a unified way. Through Damiani, Micha-El eventually encountered Paul Brunton and later met him personally several times in Switzerland and the United States. Brunton is described as someone who studied and synthesized many traditions and teachers, producing a body of work that includes A Search in Secret India and later The Notebooks of Paul Brunton, a large compilation of teachings organized into thematic categories. Micha-El emphasizes Brunton's approach as both experiential and investigative. Brunton did not present himself as a guru but as a researcher of consciousness. His work draws from direct encounters with teachers, texts, and his own inner experience. He was also interested in integrating scientific inquiry with mystical insight, emphasizing a “scientific attitude” toward spiritual experience. A central teaching discussed is Brunton's idea of “the quest,” which includes four aims: knowing the self, knowing the higher self (or Overself), knowing the universe, and understanding one's relation to the universe. This framework combines inner realization with understanding of the external world, including modern science, rather than rejecting it. The conversation also covers Brunton's distinctions between different levels of realization, including temporary “glimpses,” personal illumination, and what he called cosmic illumination. Micha-El explains that glimpses are often the initial experiences that draw people into spiritual seeking, but they are not the final stage. Meditation is described as a movement beyond thought into a deeper inner emptiness where thoughts cease. In this state, Brunton suggests, communication can occur at a subtler level than language or intellect. Henry connects this to contemplative practices in Sufism and Christianity, while Mikael relates it to similar ideas in Buddhism and Vedanta. A significant theme is the role of teachers. Brunton acknowledged that qualified teachers are rare but valuable, yet he did not require students to depend on one. Instead, he emphasized what he called an independent path, where individuals rely on inner guidance and serious study. Books, in this sense, can function as direct transmissions when deeply engaged. The discussion also addresses Brunton's skepticism toward spiritual organizations. He observed that many become entangled in ego, power, and institutional issues. While organizations may preserve teachings, he did not see them as essential for spiritual realization. Both Henry and Micha-El reflect on the difficulty of discerning authentic teachers, noting that seekers must rely on experience, patience, and discernment rather than idealized expectations. They also discuss Brunton's broader view of human development, moving from materialism to religion, then mysticism, and finally philosophy as a synthesis of intuition and intellect. The episode closes with reflections on Brunton's vision of a decentralized spiritual transmission: individuals working inwardly, often in isolation, yet forming a subtle collective of understanding through shared inquiry and practice.

Do you feel like you need a parenting guide for the real world? You know one that isn't full of ideas that no one will use, but a practical guide from parents who have done this thing well. Real world parenting isn't Instagram or Pinterest perfect. It is one giant learning curve with no checkpoints, cheat codes, and no refunds. But it is the greatest thing you will ever do. Kids don't come with a parenting guide, but we can learn from those who are further ahead of us.  Parenting can feel like you are making decisions on the fly. It is mismatched socks, questionable stains, and hiding in the pantry to eat your breakfast because you just want one morning without anyone asking for your food. Yet, even in these hectic times you're showing up, adjusting, and figuring it out as you go. And that's exactly what this parenting guide is here to help you do. This is your official permission slip to ditch the idea of being perfect and embrace the real life, boots-on-the-ground version of parenting.Show notes and links: https://lifeunboxed.blog/parenting-guide/ Grab your guide today!
