Good Media

This needs to start with a philosophy. You need to decide if you want this to consume your life or not. And if you are uncertain on this question, let me tell you, unless it is in the service of a project, or a significant career choice, it has the potential to siphon too much of your attention, across a vast stream of discrete events that will evaporate rather than culminate in a project. It pays, instead, to be project oriented, or to have a system. What follows below should not be taken as a suggestion that you follow everything.

What follows here is a list that is more broad than I recommend for any single person. And if there is a philosophy here, it is that you should have some "cover your bases" media, some special interest/special purpose, and something long form.
