Tonight after the KC-ASTD board meeting, my plan was to camp out at Panera with some hot chocolate and #lrnchat. It turned out that the nearby Panera closes at 8:00, which the staff signals by turning off the wifi. Wankers. Sorry, #lrnchatters.
On the upside, I caught Studio 360 going home, with Quentin Tarantino talking about Inglorious Basterds. And what struck me about Tarantino — what always strikes me about Tarantino — is that he is such a complete, utter movie geek. A big part of his becoming a brilliant writer, producer, and director is his lifelong education in film. He “basks in cinema”, as he said to Kurt Anderson, both as a fan and a contributor. And his movies show it.
What do you bask in? What are you passionate about? What brings out your inner geek? Work? Hobby? School? A volunteer gig? Family?
Whatever the subject, do your contributions reflect that passion?
