A few haiku
River undulates
Twisting from peak to valley
Sustaining all life.
Sundrops scattering
Sifting through the canopy
Melting frigid moods.
This haiku is not
Like most other haiku. It’s
still a haiku, too!
The pounding of rain
Rhythmically flicking asphalt
Washes dirt away.
I love TED Talks. I think TED is great, and the concept of spreading ideas that are…well, worth spreading…is wonderful. (If you don’t know what TED is, check out their Web site. It’s probably wise to have a clear schedule when visiting for the first time, because you will get sucked in for a few hours.)
The only problem with browsing TED Talks on the Web site is that there are just too many of them! That’s why I was pleased to discover that Netflix has created some thematically-grouped collections of TED Talks. Some of these collections include “Smart Laughs,” “On Life Lessons and Confessions,” “Head Games,” and “Rad Invention.” One such collection is called “Life Hack”; it contains 10 talks, each of which provides a small tip or trick that everyone can do to improve some aspect of their lives—a “life hack.”
Although these are not my original ideas, in the spirit of “ideas worth spreading,” I have decided to compile a list describing the TED Talks in the Netflix “Life Hack” collection. Honestly, this list is primarily for my own reference, so that I can return to it as needed to remind myself of this great advice. If you would like to benefit from it as well, click below to read on.
This blog has been dormant for over a year…and for anyone who has been checking it in that time, I apologize. I could make excuses for why I haven’t been posting, but it comes down to the fact that I haven’t made it a priority to do so, despite having some ideas for topics that I want to write about.
But all that’s about to change. I am making a conscious effort to be more productive in my free time, and that includes updating this blog on a regular (weekly) basis. So this week’s update is pretty dull (you’re reading it), but I promise new and exciting things to come in the near future!
