So much fun to visit blogs, do your basic cool hunting and just keep learning new ways to see. In the winter when we are supposed to lie fallow and go within, I still need to feed my curious nature. Sometimes along the way we get to discover rich writing/thinking. This particular link was posted by Ed Cotton of Influx/BSSP. What I enjoy about this blog is their celebration of the simpler side of the interplay between art and science. We are now living in the age of the curator, given how much information we have flowing in all directions, is it any wonder that we look to places like Brainpicking to contextualize the content in order to better glimpse a simple and playful overview?
