8SOME NEW THINGS
It’s the 15th edition of the link posts at How About This! I have two requests that would mean a lot to me:
Sharing by E-mail or social media - if you’re enjoying what you read here at How About This, I strongly encourage you to share my posts on your favorite social media platform (Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, etc.) to help spread the word. You can also forward the posts by E-mail to friends, family, colleagues and complete strangers if that works better for you.
If you also have a Substack newsletter and you’re enjoying How About This, please consider using the Recommendation feature to Recommend this newsletter if you haven’t already. I would greatly appreciate your support!
Now let’s see what the H.A.T. Scouts have found!
OVER THERE (found elsewhere)
Jillian Hess’s Noted newsletter is quickly becoming a favorite, loved this overview of Leonardo Da Vinci’s notes, with an explanation of his mirror writing. I’ve written two previous posts related to Da Vinci: curiosity and six other steps identified by author Michael Gelb.
At Subject Headings, Alison describes her thoughts and feelings about the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
Clint posted this listing of maxims authored by Thomas J. Bevan, founder of the Soaring Twenties Social Club - they’re worth checking out.
I found this post describing Frome absolutely charming, with lots of great photos to add character. From somebody from Frome!
Bryn challenges us about systems because we are all integral parts of the systems.
Rare skills - I was intrigued by this listing of 3 skills; I did a double-take during the first read but it makes a lot of sense.
BACK HERE (the past week’s posts)
Interviews with Julia Wright and James McLeod this week, hope you enjoyed them!
My memories of black and white television - this was a fun essay to write and share with you.
CROSS-PROMOTION(S)
If you have a newsletter and want to expose your work to more people, consider signing up for The Sample (referral link) to join a network of other publishers who use The Sample. It’s also another good way to find newsletters tailored to your interests and quickly subscribe to them.
Refind (referral link) is a service that can E-mail you a recommended list of 7 links to posts, articles and websites several times per week (even daily). You can provide feedback on the links on how good they are which should improve your experience over time. There’s also a mobile app if you prefer to use that. Worth checking out if you want to find more interesting material to read!
RELEASE
Time to release the H.A.T. Scouts for another week! And remember, it’s always better to be a H.A.T.T.E.R. than a hater.
Really loving the format here with snapshots of notebook lines! Also, thanks for the very generous promotion!
Another great crop of links from the H.A.T. Scouts - thanks, Mark!
I am impressed to notice that I'd already read all but one of the Substack posts you'd linked to in your post - great minds clearly think alike! :D
