Feeding the Brain

There’s a limitless supply of both relevant and mindless “information” out there, whether in digital or print form, and whether we seek it, or is presented deliberately to catch our eyeballs. It is challenging to be discerning these days when it comes to actually useful and edifying knowledge, but luckily, with a little effort, we can curate a collection of content in a variety of forms that can be both.

Brain food … mmm, almost as good as a Michelin-star dining experience.
