I’m not sure why I didn’t come across the Brain Pickings site before, but it has become one of my favorite reads! During the day, I look forward to reading whatever post they publish whether it be about science/technology, design, history, etc. – because the articles are super interesting and I always learn something new.

More about Brain Pickings:
Brain Pickings is your LEGO treasure chest, full of pieces across art, design, science, technology, philosophy, history, politics, psychology, sociology, ecology, anthropology, you-name-itology. Pieces that enrich your mental pool of resources and empower you to combine them into original concepts that are stronger, smarter, richer, deeper and more impactful — a modest, curiosity-driven exercise in vision- and mind-expansion. Please enjoy.

Some of my favorite posts:

• A Brief Visual History of Vintage Typographic Scripts – I’m a fan of anything typography.
• Urban Atrophy: Haunting Photos of Architectural Ghosts – Just beautiful…
• Summer Reading List: 10 Essential Books for Cognitive Sunshine – So many inspiring books, plus, I love the words “Cognitive Sunshine”.

Go check out the site… so full of good stuff!
