Recommendations

Still here? Awesome! I have some fun recommendations from around the internet that you might enjoy.

These are tailored for all ages and backgrounds.

Melodysheep

An artist that produces documentaries based on our current understanding of life science, physics, and cosmology. The music and visuals in his videos are a masterpiece.

Libraries of the World

Here's a collection of 30 awe-inspiring libraries from around the world.

Getting Things Done

One of those popular "best seller / productivity" books. I've read a number of these over the years, but David Allen's book stands out from the crowd. The methods described in his book are helpful toward saving time.
