For your consideration – Newsletter

Trying something new…

I recently heard an interview with Maria Popova (@brainpicker) where she discussed her writings as “an Annotated Reading” and I really enjoyed the sound of that. Since switching primarily to E-books and digital reading, I annotate and highlight constantly and would love to share more of what I read.

Here is the inaugural intro email:

This newsletter is inspired by many people, ideas, and things. The initial inspiration for getting me to just do it goes to Alexis Madrigal (@alexismadrigal) and his great newsletter 5 Intriguing Things. Before that I had always enjoyed Nat Torkington and O’Reilly Radar’s 4 Short Links. I love the format and the brevity. It is longer than a tweet and shorter than a blog post with the potential for some imagery and a convenient package size and delivery. It is tuned from the author’s interest without too much more than “This is cool/interesting/thought provoking and you should check it out”

I consume a huge amount of information on a wide variety of topics and come across lots of great things I’d like to share. I usually just send some of the things I find to a few friends it relates to most. However, I think there might be more people interested in the things I find interesting. Who knows where this goes. For now it is another collection of words and thoughts into the void that I hope to use as a tool for thinking.

I plan on publishing this newsletter twice a week with a few of the tidbits I find most interesting. This is an experiment and will evolve as I figure out what I’m doing. Please unsubscribe and accept my apologies if it is not something you are interested in receiving.

Thanks for reading, I hope you find some value in it.
