How was your week, guys? I spent the last seven days in Tulum really, actually unplugging and relaxing. We cenote-d, we ruin-ed, we beach walked, we ate one million avocados. Now I’m back at home, doing that post-vacation laundry-grocery-run thing, being glad that I flew back on Saturday rather than Sunday. This week’s Web Time Wasters is a short one!
Links for you!
Travelers, did you already know about this? Cheap, super effective, and since it’s a solid you don’t have to worry about the 3 ounce rule! I bought one for my trip and loved it.

Faaaaascinating. Mr. Miss Universe: Meet Jeff Lee, Professional Beautiful-Woman Coach
Lee lives like he, too, is competing in an unending pageant prelim. He takes selfies frequently, “as an instructional thing.” He records himself on conference calls to improve his voice control. He calls it self-calibration. “I know exactly what I look like talking to you right now,” he tells me one day in the middle of lunch. His pathological quest for self-awareness is partly professionalism: Lee asks nothing of his clients that he doesn’t also demand of himself. But it’s also his worldview. In life, everyone is judging us all the time. Why shouldn’t we be our best?
