Hey there! In my latest blog post, I dive into some great resources I’ve come across. From transforming your outdoor space into a lush garden with Life Kit’s tips, to kicking off an exercise habit in just 22 minutes a day, I’ve got you covered. Plus, I explore strength training, the secrets of public key cryptography, the intriguing Kelly betting strategy, and a look into the minimalist kanban board, nullboard. Happy exploring!

• Life Kit: Transform your outdoor space into a fruit and vegetable garden. Find out which plants to grow, what kind of soil you’ll need and whether to start from seeds or transplants.
• Life Kit: Feeling blocked with it comes to starting an exercise habit? You can actually get the health benefits of exercise with just 22 minutes of exercise a day — and you might be surprised what “counts” as exercise. Kiss your excuses goodbye!
• Life Kit: Strength training is a great way to exercise efficiently while preventing injury. But it can be nerve-wracking if you’re worried about what other people think of you at the gym.
• The Simple Math Behind Public Key Cryptography: The security system that underlies the internet makes use of a curious fact: You can broadcast part of your encryption to make your information much more secure.
• Kelly Can’t Fail: Introduction You may have heard of the Kelly bet allocation strategy. It is a system for correctly exploiting information or bias in a gambling situation. It is also known as a maximally aggressive or high variance strategy, in that betting more than the Kelly selection can be quite ruinous. I recently ran into a strange…
