Reviews — Logging My Thoughts
For such a long time now I have bookmarked and otherwise hackishly cataloged some of the most interesting and persuasive material I have read or listened to. I have persistently and adamantly shared much of this with other people, and I often revisit them myself. I plan on reviewing much of this material in an effort to not only write more often, but to write down thoughts and ideas now on the things I am learning so my future self (and others) might analyze them later.
I plan to go through the many lectures I have bookmarked, and many of the best books and articles I have read. Much of the information is technology or entrepreneurship related, which makes sense if you know me. However, I think it is important to expose myself to the incredible expertise present in other fields. By learning more about art, music, politics, biology, physics, and anything else, I can develop an understanding that transgresses the fields themselves, and I will be a more well rounded individual.
I boldly support the idea that the more you learn, not just about one topic but about all things in life, the more unique your views will be and the better and more creative your solutions to problems will be. It is to your advantage to learn all you can about everything you can.
Note that many of these talks come from TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design), an organization devoted to “ideas worth spreading”. You can find their web site at:
