The Aesthetics and Beauty of Knowledge
Shih was the opposite of facts and raw information; shih was the elegance of knowledge, the insight and skill to organize knowledge into meaningful patterns. As an artist chooses colours or light to make her pictures, a master of shih chooses textures of knowledge – various ideas, myths, abstractions, and theories – to create a way of seeing the world. The aesthetics and beauty of knowledge – this was shih.
– David Zindell, The Broken God, 1993
Geek Attitude
The attitude thing is about flexibility, portability, creativity, sociability and jamming (ran out of suitable “ity” words!). It’s about improvising – in the practical and musical senses of the word; not getting tangled in boundaries and the “right” way to do things.
Definitely the only way to travel.
– Martin Delaney – “Laptop Music”.

Listography: life in lists
Create your personal database of lists: autobiographical lists, to-do lists, catalogues, wishlists, top tens, and more. Try the list topic generator.
There once was also a "OnMyList"website, that I have tried one or two times. I made some listst there, but then I forgot about it. However, this is a new website with lists and the sample page looks more like the pageflakes of lists. LifeLogging in Lists!
