Here's an interesting site where you can put into print what you want to do with your life. Studies show that putting goals down on paper greatly maximizes reaching those objectives. Go to 43 Things and try it out.
If you do everything right you will get two links, one to your own list of things and a link to the thing (goal) you have created.

The New York Sun has a nice article on independent scholars entitled
Oh,To Freely Pursue the Scholarly Life!
According to this article, the main advantage of being independent is independence of ideas,
the main disadvantage is financial.
So what is new?

"Last week the discovery of two new elements - 113 and 115 - was announced by a team of Russian and American scientists. There is something about such announcements that raises the spirits, thrills one, evokes thoughts of new lands being sighted, of new areas of nature revealed. "

some disturbing "ideas" by John Link about "art".
He writes:
"Genuine innovation evolves slowly and painfully, without leaving footprints that measure up to commonly accepted standards, and therefore remains invisible to those who embrace the conventional wisdom. It exists to be seen, felt, and absorbed, not ruminated upon.

has the Motto "the chronicles of an artist in the world"
and has an October 21, 2003 post on "ideas".
The idea - hold on a minute - there
is
that an "idea" is static
while
"reality" is always in motion
and
that the cause of fundamentalism, for example,
is the
mistaking of one's own ideas for reality - all the time.
Hm.
It is seldom that I am STUNNED by an idea.

There is an old saying that good ideas are a dime a dozen, which means that just having a good idea is not enough, you have to put the good idea into action. To put ideas into action, you have to have a PLAN of action.
