Heya,
You've gotta love the return of baseball; creative people use it as a seed for some pretty cool creations. Last week it was GoT bobbleheads and this week I follow it up with an MLB-Masters of the Universe mashup. The fact that He-Man is not included in the final roster makes me think his mass is not entirely natural. It's a shame to see a classic toy get asterixed out of contention like that.
I also found some nice tools for productivity, a guide to a more sustainable web, Google's next level snooping, and cool things to make with paper.
Enjoy,
Chris.

If the He-Man universe was actually a clever cross-promotion with MLB then these would be the characters.

If productivity apps were designed by Victorinox then Notion would be that app.
I have only just started testing it out and largely because I liked the idea of the disappearing interface. However, the idea of merging all of my RedBooth tasks and my Trello boards has me quite giddy.

I am not sure this is a good share; domain squatting is a crappy occupation. However, I likes a good domain name and I'd like something for a new blog so I am going to test it out.

Outro
And that is the end of my loved links of the week; I am always looking for more if you're of a mind to send them. Hurl them in the direction of Twitter.
Also, if you would like to run this puppy for a week, you can reach me in the same place.
Tupac himself said, "We can never go nowhere unless we share with each other". Let's go somewhere and forward this all over the place.
Finally, if you arrived via a forward, then you can subscribe here.
Have a great week,
