Today, I'll be discussing the topic of content—
I've done intentional stepping away (physically) from rando Internet browsing,
learning, etc., making use instead of:
- Communications: what links do other people send me (not search engines)
- Books/resources I already have
The goal is to better make use of the resources/tools I already have instead of wasting my time looking for new things or quick, "one off" solutions to problems which may pop up again.
People over search engines
One of the reasons for getting links from other people is that you are accessing content which you know at least one other person at least sort of cares about. This is to ensure that link clicking and stuff isn't a solipsistic activity. The act of going through other people to click links
Also, there is reciprocity. Other people will often appreciate it if you take the time to take a look at stuff that interests them, make comments, etc. Internet media becomes more social when you ditch search engines when possible
Blogging as a resource
I write these blogs to remember processes I went through; this can include thinking about issues as well as technical stuff I've figured out...
