Technology Poisoning
I think I may have approached some sort of upper limit on the amount of technology-related material that I’m capable of intaking in a short amount of time. After leaving Sony, I thought that it might be a good idea to brush up on a number of subjects that would be relevant to a path in freelancing/consulting. Somehow this has turned into a mild obsession about wanting to know everything about anything even related to any subject that could be described using the word “digital”, and has now left me mildly sick at the sight of many subjects that were previously of interest. Its led me to the conclusion that gorging on thousands of vacuous blog posts in an attempt to stay entirely on top of new developments may perhaps not be the most constructive way of spending my time.
Many people start their new year with some sort of health-drive or an attempt to consume less food. My belated new years resolution is to attempt to consume less noise. I think I’m going to have to remove some of those pointless and tedious blogs that have crept on my google reader (looking at you engadget and aeropause), and restrict my intake to information-rich, well written blogs. I also plan to spend more time focusing on materials that I genuinely am interested in, particularly books (in a vague attempt to curb the never-ending-surf-tangent).
