Lately I’ve begun to develop an interest in sailing. Being the sponge that I am, this has sent me on a path of tracking down useful information that I can use to squeeze as much usable information into my head as possible. For me, learning a new, complex hobby means that I need to collect data, process the data into useful information, then then apply what Iearned. I then repeat that process as I move forward until I reach my final destination, reach an impassible roadblock, or decide to head in a completely new direction. Generally speaking, my brain is very logical and structured and this is a great way to have some organized fun in a nice, safe bubble that is quite manageable.
In my hunt for information, I haven’t found anyone that has realy highlighted this process from start to finish. I thought that it would be fun to track my progress so that I would have a record of what I’ve learned and so that, hopefully I can pass along some useful information to others so they don’t have to start the same journey as I from the very beginning. Even more important, I now actually have a blog that has a clearcut purpose. Its nice to have information that just might be Internet worthy.
Let the learning begin!
