It’s Monday. Time to buckle down and …

… chill out with my weekly “Linkfest” of the best reading material the web has to offer!

1)🌲 Beautiful app plays the sounds of different forests

Tree.fm is a super soothing app — each time you refresh the page, it displays a gorgeous picture of a forest somewhere in the world, and plays a loop of ambient sound recorded from precisely that location.

I don’t like to listen to music while I work; I find it too distracting, even instrumental stuff with no lyrics.

But this — this is great! I could listen to these gorgeous forest sounds all day. My favorite forest so far is Mud Pond in Minnewaska State Park; check it out.

2) 🐟 Recovering the ancient fishing technology of a First Nations tribe
