Well the picture doesn’t lie. We can point fingers and call each other names, but at its core, I’ve simply read a shit ton over the course of the last three years.
And I like it.
I’m not much for the latest and greatest in pop culture, and you won’t find that I’ve subscribed to any gossip blogs (beyond Macrumors), but what you will find is a mix of personal blogs, corporate blogs and editorials centered around different business ideas and various areas of technology. As I sit and wonder how I’ve amassed such a large amount of read articles, and intuitively, invested so much time in such an undertaking, I can point to one reason:
My core belief that formal education is not enough, and does not prepare you to meet the needs of employers, the world, and more importantly, your own needs.
Your informal education deserves as much of an investment as your ‘formal’ education does (at least in the time department), and by zeroing in on a basketful of great websites and blogs that turn out content, that in return will expand your perspective is critical, and I’d argue is likely directly related to your success in whatever your ventures are.School sucks, knowledge doesn’t.

Well, a new project from Google… Schemer is aiming to be your go-to to getting on all the latest schemes or what’s happenings in whatever interest field you’re into.
I like.
But there’s a bigger question. Check out the homepage of Schemer… and you’ve already checked out their video. Shit is cool. SO! How does Schemer fit into the Google organization? How do they subsist on coolness, and yet operate within the larger, and generally uncool, Google organizational structure?
I’m curious. I’m curious because: how are they going to keep this feeling (smells like a start up) before being swallowed up and killed by the ‘real’ Google. I like this feeling, Google. Don’t take it away.

I love you google. I hate you google.
Bring your shit to Canada and I’ll rid of the latter.

But as in the past, we will make this breakthrough by choice, not chance.Google CEO, Eric Schmidt on the FCC’s National Broadband Strategy due out tomorrow.

While they try to paint an awful picture of Google, I’m really not bothered by what’s said in the video..
and even Eric Schmidt’s comment is OK with me - sure out of context it may be a little bit alarming, but truthfully if you don’t want to get caught buying porn at the local porn shop (as they referenced in the video), then don’t do it.Admittedly, I’m a Google fan-boy, but they’re still deserving of it, and I will be until they mess up.. until then, keep creating value in exchange for my search information - fine by me.
