I want to purge Spotify from my life, but it does a lot to turn me onto music.

First I start a playlist with a general vibe I’m looking for, then either go to playlist radio and add tracks I like that come up, or scroll down to suggested tracks and start adding them from there.

I also have a special playlist where every time I hear a tune and go “damn, that’s good”, regardless of genre, it gets added there. The suggested stuff for that one is pretty solid.

The custom auto-generated Discover Weekly and Release Radar playlists are really good for surprises too. And other people’s playlists can be really great.

For electronic music, I have a di.fm subscription, and listen to that a lot. Plenty of great stuff has come to me via Shazam from there

I prefer metric for everything but indoor/outdoor temperature. Fahrenheit is based on human comfort ranges and feels more precise when used for that

My mom was a chef, and she taught me some absolute basics like how to hold a knife and a couple of recipes. She also told me that when learning, if I mess up it’s okay, but try to eat everything you make to learn to taste what went wrong.

I got really good after I started watching “Good Eats”, though.
