i'm a lover, not a fighter

but i really, really want to be in the middle of this fight:

What are you reading?

Everyone always asks me: what are you reading right now?

My answer today is

Then We Came to the End by Joshua Ferris


His work has been compared to that of Michael Chabon, and Nick Hornby adds a nice comment for the Hardcover ed. 190 pages in and so far, so good.

btw what are you reading these days?

name change

due to an unintended association with a major religion (it rhymes hypocrite-stianity) i have changed the blog name to 'Big Bad Dru's Views'

holl@B@CK

Due to the intense and dedicated response, i have decided to blog again. You like me, you really like me.

Last Call...

Well it's all over, so I will try and do this last one as quickly as possible ;)

• What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey?
  I think my favorite was generating images at LetterJames. I had already heard/seen a few of the websites, but this one really tickled my fancy.
  
• How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals?
  The idea that you 'know everything' has become completely outdated in the digital 2.0 world. New ideas are constantly being brought out through incredible websites, and it's humbling.
  
• Were there any take-aways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you?
  Admittedly, at first I didn't think I had the time, or was unwilling to make the time. I consider the whole 23 things an 'unexpected discovery'. I learned so much, and I'm glad I decided to do it.
  
• What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept?
  Maybe next time we could learn about 18 things instead?
  
  And last but not least…
  
  
• If we offered another discovery program like this in the future, would you again chose to participate?
  Absolutely. I definitely did not give this a chance at first, and I am glad I took the time to do it.
