I battle, like most people I'm sure, with the overwhelming amount of information available on the Internet. On the one hand, it's there and it's potentially useful. On the other hand, it's distracting and not always a good use of one's time. It's clear now that the do-it-yourself movement is not unrelated to the Internet. With so much information available people simply can where they once couldn't. Moreover, you can actually say and deliver things over the Internet which extends the movement into other realms of experience like career development and sales. For example. Today if you want to be a Filmmaker you simply make films until people with capital call on you to make the same sort of thing you've already made, but this time with an army. If you want to act, then you write a show and shoot it and upload it to YouTube. You do. ¶ In any case, there are some good blogs out there with useful things to say about life, habits, work, and everything in between. I read LifeHacker daily, WorkHappy lately, and just now I discovered ElephantStaircase. And suddenly, and without warning, Martin realised he could do it. He just needed a little help. ¶ Speaking of great things online, I discovered quite possibly the best podcast since I discovered The New York Times Book Review podcast. It's IndieFeed's Hip-Hop/Rap podcast (click here to subsribe). Dirty Dutch hosts the prolific podcast with such ease and appeal, it's easily the best of it's kind online.
