I can absolutely relate to the 'phases' you mention. I go through the exact same thing: I remember being crazy about flight simulation at one point, the German language another time, sound design, acting, 3D modeling others still. I'm sure many of these I'll come back to. It's nice to go steady on a training of something. I feel I learn best when I'm driven to doing so, mostly without consciously being aware that what I'm doing is "learning". Phases of immersion. I love it! Following up on your idea to respond with a wish-list, here are books from your collection I'd love to pick up: - Visual Language for Designers - Espresso - Greening Cities - Seinfeld - A Cook's Tour - Caffeine for the Creative Mind A Cook's Tour I should definitely pick up sometime soon, and I might have flipped through Caffeine for the Creative Mind at some point. Wired! A year's subscription is $10 in the continental US, which is more than excellent value. The latest issue in almost always in my backpack. You never know when you might need it ;) Thanks for playing on, kiloch!

A Cook’s Tour I should definitely pick up sometime soon, and I might have flipped through Caffeine for the Creative Mind at some point.
