Time to break out the math books ...

Thanks for this link, David. Some of my friends have been listening to me moan about "Why am I doing what I'm doing?" for a while now. What's it for, what's it worth? Just yesterday after I finished another 5 minutes on some insipid iPhone game, I thought to myself "What if I actually did something productive with that 5 minutes?"
Then I thought about what if everyone that played just that game for 5 minutes a day did something to further humanity for just those 5 minutes. And what of the game producers? Why not spend the effort used making a silly iPhone game doing something "real?" We have amazing technology at our fingertips, but the best we can come up with is getting more frames per second in a game? Don't get me wrong. I LOVE games, Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, etc... And they're not likely to completely disappear from my life any time soon. But I'm hereby pledging to spend more time in less frivolous pursuits, and the hunt is on to find some way to work on what I love.

+Mikel Zwissler I'm so glad you were inspired by the video too! Here, let me recommend some other things that inspire me to make more productive use of my time. (I already wrote about them, so forgive me if I link to my own blog. What I link to in the blog is the gold, not what I wrote...)
