this article is fantastic and helps answer a few things that have been coming up in my head lately. One thing that I have always strived to do was not get in ruts, not to copy but
to be inspired and use other ideas as springboards. I have a hard time creating something new that I think is 100% mine because my brain seems to stop me, I like to work off of and with others and their ideas so that it can grow and become something new.

There are lots of things to think about and learn and more access to information than ever before. Problems with it for me are, I like to learn about lots of things but almost never go deep enough in to those things to make them stick. I need to work on that. The other is that I have a hard time finding others that share that desire and so I some times overwhelm my friends with crazy random links to stuff, that I want to talk about but they never have time to do that... I need to slow down on things and focus more so that information will stick I think, just talking about it has always helped it stick and when I don't it goes away.
