For New Readers

If you are a new reader, this page may help you get oriented. You can of course, just dive in wherever and backtrack anyhow. Here is a map (circa 2012) in case you get lost.  Here is a glossary in case you get confused. To get an overall sense of the blog, read these two anchor posts:

• The Gervais Principle, Part I
• A Big Little Idea Called Legibility

Here is a curated set of four collections of old posts that may help you get more out of new posts. You can read them on the site, via Readlists.com (which also lets you send the collections to your Kindle or iPad) or download them as epubs.

1. The Art of Refactored Perception (15 posts): Readlist | ePub
2. Towards an Appreciative View of Technology (14 posts) Readlist | ePub
3. Getting Ahead, Getting Along, Getting Away (21 posts): Readlist | ePub
4. The Mysteries of Money (17 posts): Readlist | ePub

Each collection is approximately the size of an average book of 50,00o – 75,000 words. So if you are determined to catch up on the conversation, a few lazy weekends should do it.

At the risk of inviting snark, sarcasm and sociopathy, I am leaving the comments to this page open, in case existing readers want to provide some pointers to new ones.
