# Steemit Tools There are so many tools in the steemit tool shed, so let's turn on [Radio Steem](http://radiosteem.com/), the [Steemit Jukebox](https://steemit.com/radiosteem/@roelandp/introducing-radiosteem-com-consensus-webradio-add-your-tracks-via-steem-transfer-memo) and have a little look around. You can start with making your own name-card, thanks to @sandwich who created a very beautiful little tool, called [Steem Cloud](http://steem.cloud/), a [Steem-Driven Word Cloud](https://steemit.com/steemit/@sandwich/v0-0-3-steem-cloud-gets-another-upgrade-w-user-and-topic-clouds-release-notes) that allows you to make this; https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/08/luminous-cloud171ed.jpg But if little baby dolphin wants to grow into a big, strong dolphin, he will have to earn some rewards and for that you need tools like [Steem Le](https://steemle.com/) from @jabbasteem, [providing Steem data statistics, search, and API](https://steemit.com/steem/@jabbasteem/announcing-steemle-com--providing-steem-data-statistics-search-and-api), then there's @steven1980 who made [Steem B](http://www.steemb.com/), a [Steem Rewards Ranking Report](https://steemit.com/steem/@steven1980/www-steemb-com-v0-3-steem-rewards-ranking-or-steem), and @bitcoiner is looking at the whales with his tool [Steem Down](http://www.steemdown.com/) to see [which whales are powering down](https://steemit.com/steem/@bitcoiner/steemdown-com-which-whales-are-powering-down). For those whole really want to [see live follows, edits, deletions and more](https://steemit.com/steemviz/@ausbitbank/steemviz-update-see-live-follows-edits-deletions-and-more), all at once on 1 screen there's [Steem Viz](https://V2.steemviz.com/) made by @ausbitbank, while @furion figured that with his [Steem Reputation](http://steem.li/reputation) curation tool, which [Ranks Posts by the Reputation Score](https://steemit.com/steemit/@furion/steem-li-ranking-posts-by-the-reputation-score) you would be able to find new posts from respected authors, before the whales do ... unless if they were to use the same tool of course ;-) > ## While @blueorgy made [steemimg](https://www.steemimg.com/), which little baby dolphin uses all the time, it's a [Dedicated Steem Image Hosting](https://steemit.com/steemimg/@blueorgy/steemimg-com-some-info-a-monetization-proposal-for-maintaining-servers-and-website-analytics) One of the most usede sites is probably @heimindanger site, with all the dolphins and the whales on the site [Steem Whales](http://steemwhales.com/) [to see all the details of the big fish](https://steemit.com/whales/@heimindanger/steemwhales-com-update-or-followers-stats-activity-indicator-and-a-bit-of-advertising), and @jesta made [Steem DB (database)](https://steemdb.com/), which is a [open source blockchain explorer and data playground](https://steemit.com/steemdb/@jesta/steemdb-com-open-source-blockchain-explorer-and-data-playground-alpha-release), not to be mistaken with @kakradetome's [Steem D](https://steemd.com/distribution), which is a tool to [track your own activity on Steemit.](https://steemit.com/steemit/@kakradetome/steemd-how-to-track-your-activity-on-steemit-a-behind-the-scenes-look-at-steemit). While if you want to know how much 1 vote is worth, you can use @mauricemikkers's tool [steemdollar](http://www.steemdollar.com/) to calculate the worth of a single upvote, yours or somebody else's voting power. Dolphins are very smart, we all know that, but @nphacker created a tool that will tell you exactly how smart ... [Steem-IQ](http://steemiq.me/) will tell you exactly [how much your Steem-IQ is, based on the posts submitted in Steemit](https://steemit.com/steemiq/@nphacker/steemiq-me-version-0-3-5-introducing-graphs). And with Steemians from all over the world, you can see exactly where they are with the tool @originate made for it; [Steem Spot](http://www.steemspot.com/), [it will show you on a big world map, who's where ... ](https://steemit.com/steemspot/@originate/steemspot-the-steem-world-map-is-growing-new-spot-updates-august-17th).

### But the cutest tool is without a doubt @mynameisbrian's [Steemit Pond](http://steemitpond.com/), which is a [real-time visualization of current Steemit activity.](https://steemit.com/steemit/@mynameisbrian/steemit-pond-version-2-a-real-time-visualization-of-steemit-activity-added-tx-types-user-filters-sound-bug-fixes) ![](https://img1.steemit.com/0x0/https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/V81YGRYJpiScH_Swp78bzpjeXxnMZWQAN2vWuCQTowZhfcXohuPBHQch-BV_3VJS1xfBh7Aqk2hCG34IsQUOaWEIPK-0KLgXpoHP2JJbwj5DZS7OVDgYF_AEbMFr5Z8Wi1iByOMZMW7K1WfS0V17bavkFiRSYfDIWZLxItSMNj7gFMUfYeC1IsexVaJ7sa_c8aXMUWvFEXPV36PGOkgch_DIB3xwWtUq8WUlrzczGTiQ0PqgYpG1dyNBpGHaVSLEhsqWsVy37KcEe7ys0IJYElPLZvRlqQ2KJ1IFZiK4vpEIDqxRP6qzBV0FhqyrqdYuAFcIlGVkvnp2DxPKD1v063YcaLXz4Lpwhp4Haqb7QRm6u5KMGTnmzNTGj0j9Ce2tSQzIoDTNtayd0O7mpDfiNq0dcsh8gglR2HJdW4JgCitzhOa7RwdrGQ2E3kdme6LdPAWHgJd-Ju8GCiYxZeZJcG30VkeRmufj3Y-OyC4NAcnSUAQSAiFNpadwuOKD_00GADvNhEVIeU169LxFpINJYJCSdj69E39o80PGgcpthk2Br9yZhn2vlLVWmuG5K3a7_cp9oHPNNl14n3Wgmj2M6MEUkGxdqqcS=w475-h267-no) > # And then there's @roelandp, he's the Steemit Tools Master! * [Steem Fighter](http://steemfighter.com/) ~ [Steempower Arcade Fight](https://steemit.com/game/@roelandp/sunday-is-for-steemfighter-ii-steempower-arcade-fight-now-with-player-1-controls-instead-of-ai-bot) beat the whales (or whomever) on Steemit by playing Steemfighter. * [Steem Story](http://steemstory.com/) ~ [What's Your Steemit Story?](https://steemit.com/steem/@roelandp/celebrating-40-000-steemit-users-with-steemstory-com-what-s-your-story) * [Steem Stream](http://steemstream.com/) [Follow the upvotes, money transfers, comments, proof of work mining and other data in realtime on the Steemit] (https://steemit.com/steemit/@roelandp/steemstream-v3-featuring-sound-adding-a-mesmerizing-track-to-the-pulse-of-steem) * [Steem VP](http://steemvp.com/) [Who's your Most Valuable Follower on Steemit?](https://steemit.com/steemtools/@roelandp/steem-v-p-exploring-rewards-and-discover-your-most-valuable-player-on-steemit) He had such a big collection ... it's too much too list them all, so it's good thing he has a site just for that; [Steem Tools](http://steemtools.com/) ~ [An overview of Steemit Tools & Services](https://steemit.com/steem/@roelandp/steemtools-com-indexing-all-tools-and-services-for-steemit-users) of all steemit tool developers, not just his ... although like half of them are his; really impressive!

# Lifestyle

## Food Little baby dolphin also learned a lot about lifestyle and food, like when @heiditravels has a [a wild night in istanbul](https://steemit.com/travel/@heiditravels/a-wild-night-in-istanbul), meanwhile @bleepcoin is [in search of the perfect full English breakfast](https://steemit.com/food/@bleepcoin/in-search-of-the-perfect-full-english-breakfast) ... he's as fussy eater, so little baby dolphins probably shouldn't introduce him to @victor-lucas then, as he teaches us all about [the potential of lab-grown meat](https://steemit.com/food/@victor-lucas/the-potential-of-lab-grown-meat) ... little baby dolphin isn't really looking forward that either, he prefers to have some of @jed78's [home grwon mushrooms](https://steemit.com/gardening/@jed78/home-grown-mushrooms-the-growth-and-harvest) instead, and @switapril knows exactly what to do with those mushrooms, as [Mushroom Chicharon is her favorite recipe](https://steemit.com/food/@switapril/mushroom-chicharon-just-sharing-my-favorite-recipe), or maybe we could make some [fried champignons ](https://steemit.com/food/@celebr1ty/fried-champignons-yummy), @celebr1ty demonstrates and illustrates so neat, it really looks tasty. And while we're making healthy dishes, let's watch @biophil prepare some delicious [Sourdough crêpes for the whole family](https://steemit.com/food/@biophil/sourdough-crepes-for-the-whole-family), which looks like it could use some of @mynameisbrian's [best damn salsa you'll ever eat](https://steemit.com/food/@mynameisbrian/lazy-salsa-the-best-damn-salsa-you-ll-ever-eat). If home cooking is not your thing and you rather spoil yourself in a fancy restaurant, then @sweetsssj can tell you all about [a chinese twist on japanese cuisine in Xi'an](https://steemit.com/food/@sweetsssj/a-chinese-twist-on-japanese-cuisine). ### And @chicana's made desert for everybody with a full [box of chocolates ... it's like Steemit ... you never know what you gonna get!!](https://steemit.com/chocolate/@chicana/steemit-is-like-a-box-of-chocolates-you-never-know-what-you-gonna-get) ## Drinks And for those that are not hungry, but thirsty, there's @stellabelle's [Chat Bar](https://steemit.com/steemit/@stellabelle/new-idea-for-steemit-let-s-open-our-own-bars) & @nanzo-scoop's [Nanzo's Bar](https://steemit.com/steemit-bar/@nanzo-scoop/4membf-nanzo-s-bar-is-now-open), they came up with the idea in the [steemit.chat](http://steemit.chat), wondering what they could do to make people chat in steemit directly, hence ... a bar! ### I guess @meesterboom will be more than happy to show his skills, like with a [Italian Limoncello!](https://steemit.com/food/@meesterboom/home-made-italian-limoncello)

https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/08/honeythief-flowerc1f7b.jpg @honeythief finds the [beauty of life and travel](https://steemit.com/photography/@honeythief/beauty-of-life-and-travel)

## Arts & Crafts To really learn how to be creative little babay dolphin has lots to choose from, a step by step guide from @pixielolz which shows how she painted a really beautiful [Blue Whale](https://steemit.com/art/@pixielolz/through-time-step-by-step-of-my-drawing-process-from-sketch-to-finished-artwork), although she seems to think whales can fly ... while @opheliafu is [losing your head](https://steemit.com/art/@opheliafu/don-t-lose-your-head) mexican stule and @anca3drandom shows [the art of quilling paper](https://steemit.com/art/@anca3drandom/the-art-of-quilling-paper-busy-bees), and @fairytalelife teaches [how to draw a braid](https://steemit.com/art/@fairytalelife/how-to-draw-a-braid), or look what @natureofbeing has been up to, you can learn a lot from her [story how she made gorgeous handcrafted tiles to build a stunning bathroom](https://steemit.com/art/@natureofbeing/making-a-closet-into-the-best-room-in-the-house). ## Collectibles Little baby dolphin likes to snoop around together @bridgetbunchy, as she has a keen eye for [collectibles](https://steemit.com/life/@bridgetbunchy/always-loved), be it for the more timeless pieces, while @gbert collects [gadgets that you didn't know you wanted as well](https://steemit.com/gadgets/@gbert/gadgets-that-i-have-and-you-didnt-know-you-wanted-as-well), while @calaber24p collects cute dolls, and even wonders if [funko pops are the new Beanie babies](https://steemit.com/life/@calaber24p/are-funko-pops-the-new-beanie-babies), and @myfirst has a hard time choosing which is in fact his [favorite hero?](https://steemit.com/story/@myfirst/who-is-your-favorite-hero), while@sisters shows [her whole house](https://steemit.com/housedecor/@sisters/welcome-to-my-house-steemit-and-let-s-fall-in-love-autumn-home-tour-super-delicious-cinnamon-apple-cake-recipe-for-my-guests), which is a collectible by itself. ## Fashion ### But the lifestyle-of-the-week Award should definitely go to @quinneaker for his [Steemit Fashion Line](https://steemit.com/steemit/@quinneaker/my-new-steemit-fashion-line-has-begun-first-photo-shoot-for-epicshreds-steemit-t)!

# Culture ## Movies Some [nazi-punks in the "green Room"](https://steemit.com/movie/@condra/nazi-punks-fuck-off-my-green-room-review) cause a real mindfuck for @condra, and @herverisson is a big fan of ["The Way of the Gun"](https://steemit.com/movie/@herverisson/the-way-of-the-gun-a-movie-review), while @talanhorne is a big fan of [netflixing](https://steemit.com/tv/@talanhorne/netflixing-the-spoils-of-babylon), but to keep you looking for more @warrensteem has a list of [10 Great Films you might not have seen](https://steemit.com/movies/@warrensteem/10-great-films-you-might-not-have-seen). Little baby dolphin is sad, when he hears that the curtain closed on Gene Wilder last act, @honeyscribe wrote a beautiful [tribute to Gene Wilder](https://steemit.com/life/@honeyscribe/in-the-world-of-pure-imagination-a-tribute-to-gene-wilder). ## Literature While @mindover wants to teach everybody [4 simple steps to reading way more books than you do now](https://steemit.com/story/@mindover/4-simple-steps-to-reading-way-more-books-than-you-do-now), like @markrmorrisjr's original fiction, ["The Anarchist's Almanac"](https://steemit.com/story/@markrmorrisjr/original-fiction-the-anarchist-s-almanac-pt-6), while @krnel takes it even 1 step further by explaining [the magic of symbolism](https://steemit.com/philosophy/@krnel/the-magic-of-definition-symbols-and-language-the-power-of-consciousness-pt-6) or @liberosist's complete series of ["Silence in Time"](https://steemit.com/story/@liberosist/silence-in-time-the-complete-series-1-featuring-illustrations-by-pixielolz-sci-fi-thriller-story) and @sascha pushes it all the way to the essential question ... [The Meaning of Life](https://steemit.com/life/@sascha/our-life-on-planet-earth-part-8-the-meaning-of-life), which by the way is a great Monthy Python movie. While @sirwinchester is stepping outside our reality by losing himself [between game and reality ](https://steemit.com/story/@sirwinchester/progamers-between-game-and-reality-original-story). Or if you really want to challenge yourself, you could try @cnfund's original [Chinese fantasy novel](https://steemit.com/cn/@cnfund/after-creation-chapter-16-chinese-original-fantasy-novel-16), or maybe a cute russian story from @poteshnik83 about [a careless fly and the wise bee](https://steemit.com/steemit/@poteshnik83/a-careless-fly-and-the-wise-bee-khitrozhopaya-mukha-i-mudraya-pchela).

## But then little baby dolphin found some secret messages from outer space aliens, using all kinds of strange symbols ... very mysterious! 일정한 시간을 정해서 나오는게 아니라 가끔 때가 맞으면(?) @publicworker [가상화폐 뉴스](https://steemit.com/kr/@publicworker/2016-09-03) 랜덤하게 나오는 가상화폐 뉴스입니다 는 기본적으로 넷플릭스, 유튜브, 아프리카 세가지 모델을 다 노리고 있습니다 @jack8831 [연어의 다시보는 영어 발동거는 발산하는 ](https://steemit.com/kr/@jack8831/11-go-go) 슬슬 그리고 동사에 대해 한 번 훑어보고자 합니다. I 아직도 '나는 학교에 간다'가 떠오르십니까? (사실 저도 그렇습니다 @leesunmoo [무지개](https://steemit.com/kr/@leesunmoo/h4ffv) 경기도 가평군 설악면 선촌리 신선봉 무지개 초등학교 동창생이 찍어보낸 사진입니다 어렸을 때 비오고 나면 쉽게 볼수 있었는데 요즘은 무지개 보기가 스팀 로또 당첨보다 더 어려운거 같습니다 https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/10/aliens501f0.jpg and it looks like @michelegraybeal ran into them on [Burning Man](https://steemit.com/photography/@michelegraybeal/how-i-enjoy-burning-man)

# Science Starting from the very top, by [dissecting intelligence](https://steemit.com/intelligence/@alexgr/dissecting-intelligence) @alexgr answers the questions that need to be asked for our minds to be open for science, which leads us to @justtryme90, who knows a thing or two about [DNA](https://steemit.com/biology/@justtryme90/science-lesson-dna-part-6-how-does-dna-fit-in-the-cell), while @team-leibniz [explains Pick's theorem](https://steemit.com/mathematics/@team-leibniz/pick-s-theorem-the-elegant-universal-and-surprisingly-simple-method-to-finding-area), the elegant, universal, and surprisingly simple method to finding area, and @krishtopa wonders [how the development of machine intelligence technologies will change our world](https://steemit.com/technology/@krishtopa/how-the-development-of-machine-intelligence-technologies-will-change-our-world), and if that's not complex enough there's always @extie-dasilva to tell you why [the singularity is not happening](https://steemit.com/transhumanism/@extie-dasilva/if-the-singularity-is-not-happening). If not's not *boring* enough ... euh, euh ...I mean **incredible interesting** of course! (hihi) there's @krishtopa teaching us all about [Lobachevsky's Geometry](https://steemit.com/popularscience/@krishtopa/lobachevsky-geometry-the-alternative-reality)or @eneismijmich with some [fuzzy neurocomputing](https://steemit.com/science/@eneismijmich/fuzzy-evolutionary-and-neurocomputing-neural-networks-part-2)

https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/07/blackdotsonmars7d517.jpg and @alexbeyman visits his friends in the [Mars desert research station](https://steemit.com/mars/@alexbeyman/mars-desert-research-station-my-mission-to-simulated-mars).

# Steem Getting straight to the point, @kaylinart asks [how much do we really own](https://steemit.com/life/@kaylinart/how-much-do-we-really-own), while @jasonstaggers looks at [market cycles and the value of steem](https://steemit.com/investing/@jasonstaggers/john-templeton-market-cycles-and-the-value-of-steem) ... ## Curation Little baby dolphin learned a lot about curation from @neoxian, as he explains how [it does pay to vote on "hidden gems"!](https://steemit.com/steemit/@neoxian/dear-steemit-it-does-pay-to-vote-on-hidden-gems), which is why he now has a small army of bots following him, while @hisnameisolllie is warning the bots that their game is a [race to the bottom](https://steemit.com/steem-help/@hisnameisolllie/curation-bot-s-race-to-the-bottom-how-it-will-begin-to-hurt-authors-on-the-list), while @deanliu teaches us how to [calculate your way into the Steemit ocean](https://steemit.com/steem/@deanliu/calculate-your-way-into-the-steemit-ocean-steemit). ### If none of that helps, maybe you could just try your luck with @lee5 and play the [steemit lottery](https://steemit.com/steemit/@lee5/steemit-lottery-1), # Trouble Unfortunately, @derekareith [got scammed on skype](https://steemit.com/scam/@derekareith/so-i-m-an-idiot-don-t-do-what-i-did-today-public-service-announcement), fortunately @stellabelle [warned everybody about fake ned](https://steemit.com/scam/@stellabelle/someone-has-set-up-a-fake-ned-scott-twitter-account-for-phishing-and-scams), and so did @ash about the same scammer being active [on twitter](https://steemit.com/steemit/@ash/psa-fake-steemit-ceo-certianassets-on-twitter-be-careful-trying-to-scam) and so many others, which was enough to make sure nobody else got hurt, for which we thank @derekareith, as his bravery to go public really saved a lot of people from the same hardship. ## Prospectors You probably heard of the @robinhoodwhale, but did you know there are also hidden gem prospectors in many other languages ... @serejandmyself ~ [Russian Hidden Gems](https://steemit.com/ru/@serejandmyself/a-pick-at-hidden-gems-the-russian-version-6-vyborka-skrytykh-sokrovish-steemit-na-russkom-6) @webosfritos ~ [Spanish Hidden Gems](https://steemit.com/spanish/@webosfritos/a-pick-at-hidden-gems-spanish-version-5-una-seleccion-de-tesoros-ocultos-version-espanola-5) @woo7739 ~ [Korean Hidden Gems)](https://steemit.com/kr/@woo7739/16-20160904-steemit-digest-korean-language) @sebastien ~ [French Hidden Gems](https://steemit.com/france/@sebastien/the-almost-daily-pick-of-hidden-gems-french-edition-5)

[![snale-raced5bad.jpg](https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/07/snale-raced5bad.jpg)](https://www.steemimg.com/image/u089I) While [walking through the woods](https://steemit.com/photography/@celebr1ty/walk-through-the-woods-how-many-beautiful-creatures-around-us) @celebr1ty came accross some Steemians racing to the top.

# Politics Little baby dolphin is not interested in politics, because he already lives in [paradise](https://steemit.com/travel/@luminousvisions/i-live-the-ultimate-dream-i-live-on-phuket-a-tropical-paradise-island), but most Steemians live in other countries and they surely love to talk about it ... @kyriacos explains that [Capitalism Isn't Corporatism](https://steemit.com/capitalism/@kyriacos/capitalism-isn-t-corporatism) and that in order to spot free market, lessaiz-faire capitalism, we should need to travel back in time, and @kafkanarchy84 expands on that argument by comparing [communism/capitalism in a nutshell](https://steemit.com/anarchism/@kafkanarchy84/communism-in-a-nutshell-capitalism-in-a-nutshell-two-original-stop-motion-shorts), while @keithsmih shows [the side of america no one ever sees](https://steemit.com/economy/@keithsmih/economic-warfare-the-side-of-america-no-one-ever-sees), while @cryptogee is sure there's actually a [quick fix for a broken capitalist society](https://steemit.com/capitalism/@cryptogee/a-quick-fix-for-a-broken-capitalist-society). None of that moves @jaredhowe, because he's convinced that [it's not a debate](https://steemit.com/anarchism/@jaredhowe/voluntaryism-vs-statism-it-s-not-a-debate), which @kyriacos confirms by showing that [the political system of the future is already here](https://steemit.com/politics/@kyriacos/the-political-system-of-the-future-is-already-here), which shows in the story @ftlian shares about the [amazing, unmatched bitcoin community in New Hampshire](https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@ftlian/new-hampshire-s-amazing-unmatched-bitcoin-community). > ## While @larkenrose seem to have some problem with his [vacuum cleaner](https://steemit.com/government/@larkenrose/the-power-vacuum-argument) And @sterlinluxan points out that [politicians oppose love and leverage newspeak](https://steemit.com/anarchy/@sterlinluxan/politicians-oppose-love-and-leverage-newspeak) and @timsaid argues that we need to [fight for free speech on the internet](https://steemit.com/internet/@timsaid/fighting-for-free-speech-on-the-internet), but @pairmike seems to think it's already too late and [free speech has been arrested by political correctness](https://steemit.com/life/@pairmike/free-speech-has-been-arrested-by-political-correctness) ### While the place to be for all the anarchists of the world is of course [Anarchapulco](https://steemit.com/anarchy/@sterlinluxan/anarchapulco-is-one-of-the-most-world-changing-conferences-ever) And for those that worry too much about it all, @roelandp knows [how to make a safe room](https://steemit.com/fearconomics/@roelandp/how-to-make-a-safe-room-to-guard-yourself-from-nuclear-attacks).
