I have been doing something fun the last month and thought I would share. I will typically have a topic or theme in my head each day and sometimes for several days. I am usually pondering how to learn something faster or how to make what I have learned available to me for finding patterns or new relationships. Find good material is sometimes difficult to help me explore the edges of the topic and leverage what other people have learned. Googling for key terms just doesn’t cut it anymore.
When it comes to news aggregate sites I frequent only two. Hacker News and Reddit Programming. I will occasionally pop over to the other sub reddits that I am interested in. I have been favoring Hacker News mostly because I have found the topics to be of higher quality. I also never click to the next page which helps me not spend too much time on reading blogs.
What I have been doing is starting my Hacker News readings with going to their google search and putting in the term I am currently noodling about. I have been surprised at the great blogs I have found and the articles on the topic of interest. This morning I had an interesting dream that led me to think about the connection between doing what I love and learning. I made a bunch of interesting connections between my current situation and where I want to be. When I searched Hacker News I found three really great sites that further gave me more to think about.
Give it a try.
