Phix's Curiosity: what sparks my interest
Watch this space to see what's sparked my interest this week. A random grab bag of delights!
OOoooh, work stuff. Some fun enterprise content strategy stuff is starting to twitch like Frankenstein's monster. It's an utter delight and is making a part of my brain that I was wondering if still worked light up like fireworks on the fourth of July.... It has the potential to be a perfect storm of really interesting stuff to think about with really interesting people to work with. The. Best.
Medusa's Garden
When you need every one and everything around you to just stop.
The thing is - when my brain lights up like this, getting it to stop is... problematic... sometimes... Yes. I'm that person that when I'm focused on something, I won't actually hear you over the churn in my brain. I'm sorry. My brain is in that state right now. And has been All Day Long. I'm a little afraid that stopping now will mean I don't get back to what is on my mind and yet... I also need some sleep and also to come back to this. I am crossing my fingers that when I come back to it, it'll still be available to me in as crisp a vision as I have of it right now.
I told someone today that my primary work challenges right now are the Laws of Physics & the Time-Space Continuum. Now - where did I put my Time Turner?
Ariadne's Yarn: playing with threads
What I'm up to with fiber and possibly how mythology and stories all tie together.
Knitting the wrap. I spend more time counting stitches in this pattern than knitting them. It's frustrating. This is why I don't do long patterns. My count is always off. And my stitches always seem to be off. Maybe this weekend I'll be able to make some good progress on it, but... We'll see!
Mythic Librarian: the art of arranging a life
Thoughts on ontology and ways to organize a life.
Part of the advantage of when my brain lights up like this is that I'm able to create good visualizations of structures. Sometimes in order to see how all the pieces fit, it helps to actually draw the puzzle pieces and see how they all fit together.
Having a fresh perspective because you re/arrange the pieces is such an enlightening way to shift things around. It makes me just... delighted. :)
With love, and structure, and organization, and curiosity - may Ariadne's ball of yarn guide you through the labyrinth safely until next time!
