Clearly includes the same web clipping technology Evernote already had, but adds another key function: Cleaner reading of web pages on the desktop. In fact, its very similar to the Reader function in Apple's Safari browser because it removes everything from a web page except for the content and then presents it in a clean, easy to read format.

This add-on won't help you save web content for offline use if you're already reading it on a mobile device, but it's superb for saving web pages from the desktop for later reading on a mobile. The pages are saved as standard notes in the Evernote client, which is available on nearly all mobile devices.
Lately I've been using Clearly quite extensively in Chrome while doing research, different than Mr. Tofel though. I highlight the most interesting part or the introduction, and save the clipping into Evernote where I sort it into notebooks and tag it.
It also saves the URL of the article and so it's a bit like bookmarking tool on steroids: it also keeps the quotes. All in all, I am pleased.
Take a look at it here, and give it a test run.
While seeing a body reduces perceptions of agency, it actually enhances perceptions of experience. As a result, Gray et. al. argue that objectification is a misleading term:
The idea that a body focus can lead to both decreased and increased mind stands in contrast to the term “objectification,” because it suggests that people seen as bodies are not seen as mindless objects but, instead, as experiencers: someone more capable of pain, pleasure, desire, sensation, and emotion but lacking in agency. In other words, focusing on the body does not lead to de-mentalization but to a redistribution of mind.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that the redistribution of mind can’t do damage. If you’re a female applying for a job, the sometimes sexist tendency of men to focus on the body will unfairly diminish perceptions of agency and intelligence; you will be punished for having breasts. Although the woman won’t be literally objectified, the redistribution of mind will still make her much less likely to be hired.
Thanks to Maria Popova (@brainpicker) for reminding me of this article, a very interesting read.
In the first story, I talk to David Heinemeier Hansson creator of Ruby on Rails, partner at 37Signals and author of Rework about the inspiration and shepherding of Ruby on Rails.
I've been listening to This Developer's Life for some time now. In fact, it's the first podcast that I stuck to for more than a couple of episodes.
I liked this particular episode for the insights in how the Rails framework came to be.
That is clever! I would think this approach much more reliable than my painting skills, especially when I am in a rush.
Thank you, The Hairpin!
Today, I handed over the keys to my first own apartment to the new owner. There went my last bit of subjective independence...
