Merlin, you've got a lot on your mind! And by the fact that I read each item you linked to in this post, I guess my concerns range to the similar. I get that you want to a) stay current with thought leaders and their insights (duh!) [Kevin Kelly's Technium]; b) dig deeper into archetypal pleasures that have unconsciously captured your favor [Dogcow]; c) improve your presentations because maybe they're not going over so well [Rands in Repose: Out Loud]; d) cope with stress better because it might be threatening your well-being [Quiet Your Home with Ambient Noise]; e) leverage technology to get your message out, because what else is all this cool technology for? [How to record a kickass podcast...]; f) improve (even more) your presentations [Your Prep Card]; g) deal with life/health issues you've finally decided are well and truly threatening your well-being [The Smart Set: Night Terrors]; and h) do a little hero worship while you work on improving (even more than before, so that people will say Steve Jobs is last year's model compared to you) your presentations [Being Funny-Steve Martin]. Quite a lot of strident self-improvement going on here! A bit stressful even. Anyway, thanks for the links, from a fellow human-potential pilgrim.
