Outlet Shelf for Smart Speaker
I considered getting a shelf to hold an Echo Dot or Eufy Genie, but after I hit the post button I'm gonna buy one of the shelves since it is only $5 with code MX6AGTXV. (You can also get a two-pack for $10 with the same code.)

Airplane Filling Station
I posted about the Airplane Filling Station 8 years ago. The old links are dead, but check out the update and pictures of the restored site.
The building also got a new steward. Knox Heritage, an East Tennessee preservation group active in Knoxville and the surrounding area, assumed ownership of the building in November of 2018. When the AFSPA approached them about selling the plane two years ago, Morgan says, Knox Heritage initially suggested a preservation easement. “They said, ‘Well, I think we would just feel better turning it over to an organization like Knox Heritage,’” Morgan repeats, laughing. “We’re just proud they thought of us! It really is an honor for us.”
An easement through the Tennessee Historical Association protects the plane through 2025; in the future, Knox Heritage will continue to preserve it, Morgan says. The airplane is the group’s first commercial property, and the rent it generates will help fund its other preservation efforts.

Human history can be divided into five distinct societies— Mark Maslin (@ProfMarkMaslin) February 28, 2019
1. Hunter gather
2. Agricultural
3. Mercantile capitalism
4. Industrial capitalism
5. Consumer capitalism
Human population, knowledge, energy use & global environmental damage increases with each transition.

Picture Frame Phone Charger
It's pricey at over $55, but I really like the idea of this picture frame with a builtin wireless charger for your smart phone. It also keeps the phone upright so you can see notifications easily. I could see myself with one at the desk in my office and another one on the end table beside by chair in our family room.
