Little Bits Of Light

What do you know, another Friday, another frosty ass day in February, and another steaming plate of links fresh out of my brain oven.

Pssst…if you want a Rad way to say “Hey Tyler, Thanks for this rad place, I love you 30,000, there’s a way. Hop on board the exclusive community train!

Here’s the scoop of sauce, kidderinos:

1. Top 50 Love Songs Of All Time - Fresh off of Valentine’s Day, we’ve got a list that will set your heart strings soaring. The top 50 love songs of all time. Here’s an idea, before you read the list, chime in the comments what YOU think the number 1 should be. Then pop in and see what they voted it as. I’m curious how polarizing this list will be.

2. Why DOES February Only Have 28 Days? - A question we’re probably all asking ourselves (unless we’ve already researched this) as we’re plummeting right towards the end of this month. Why does it? Here’s a concise little summary as to why. Huh…who knew?

3. Harry Potter Spells Ranked By Usefulness - This is the weird kind of stuff my brain debates itself on all the time. It can be anything, it can be anytime, and my brain is wondering stuff just like this. Weirdly refreshing to see that someone else is at least somewhat similar. What’s your favorite spell? Don’t act like you’re not nerdy, I know you have a spell you like.

4. Ukeireru And How It Can Help You - Here’s a very, very useful little article that has a very, very useful way of looking at life’s challenges. The Japanese have a concept called “ukeireru” and it’s how they approach all of the hard things that are inevitably thrown at us. Adopting this can be massively beneficial, and reduce the burdens we’re all so diligently carrying. Give it a read.

5. Clarkson’s Farm Season 2 - I absolutely loved, and was surprised by Season 1…it was one of my favorite things I watched last year. It’s back, and Lady G and I had an amazing time watching it. There’s some weird tenderness and honesty about it that just really, really works.

6. Typewriter Series Insanity - Another pile of videos of my ridiculousness. Start with one, proceed down the rabbit hole if you so choose.

   

   @tylerknottgregsonTypewriter Series #303. I just hope when you see this, you’re happy.
