Beautiful.ai, Bo Burnham

Two discoveries from today

A smart tool to help create beautiful presentations: https://about.beautiful.ai/

There was a time I was obsessed with trying every trick in PowerPoint and then Prezi. But for a while now I've only used very basic features of PowerPoint and Google slides and sometimes Keynote. Today heard about this thing from a colleague and it definitely calls me to try it out. Seems pretty new (their pro version is TBD).

Over lunch I was listening to Bebbie Millman's podcast and for the fist time got to know this young comedian: Bo Burnham. I found his live show "what" on Youtube (from 5 years ago) and gosh - isn't this guy hilarious and heartbreaking?! It's like nothing I've ever watched. And though some jokes I'm not sure I fully got it, I could tell this is genius, amazing bizarre. How eyeopening it is to see something like this! For a moment I just felt daily worries were gone, and I thought about those absurd imagination and weird thoughts that used to rise in my head - they could have been valid and interesting creations. Nowadays I just rarely got them in my more and more "analytical" head.
