Recommendations
A Collection of The Creative Works I Hold in High Regard
Recommendations Philosophy
There is nothing like a good recommendation, but we have all wasted our time on bad ones.
This is my philosophy on recommendations and how to make sure you are getting the most out of this powerful knowledge sharing practice.
The Recommendations
Calvin and Hobbes
Calvin and Hobbes is, hands down, without a doubt, the single best comic strip of all time… ever.
How to Win Friends and Influence People
How to Win Friends and Influence People is one of the single most powerful and highly recommended books for leveling up your communication skills. But just in case you need further convincing, here is an article and a meme video that might just convince you to read Carnegie!
Studio Ghibli Films
Looking to go on a magical journey with lovingly written characters in a beautifully illustrated and imaginative world? Look no further than a Studio Ghibli movie.
Area Two Sours
Looking for a great craft brewery? Two Roads in Stratford, CT is a local favorite with some of the best sours out there!
Charles Berthoud
Sometimes you stumble upon an absolutely amazing youtuber and after getting hooked, binge a ton of their videos, only to subscribe with notifications so you can be sure to catch the next video they put up. Charles Berthoud, basest extraordinaire, is definitely one of those youtubers.
Hot Fuzz
Brilliant writing, amazingly acted, and the epitome of British humor, Hot Fuzz is perfection. You can just sit back and enjoy, but it is so fucking clever that you can rewatch it again and again and find something new to appreciate each time. My favorite action comedy of all time.
The Phoenix Project
Interested in learning more about tech companies and the best practices around software development? Or maybe you are looking for a fun story set in the modern workplace. Why not both! The Phoenix Project is a business fable that will inform and entertain.
Spiderman Into The Spiderverse
Looking for a modern superhero movie with stunningly beautiful art, great humor, and an enjoyable story? Into The Spiderverse is for you!
Philosophy of Recommendations
Recommendations are a powerful tool for knowledge sharing and it is important we all make recommendations judiciously. Here I lay out the philosophy behind good recommendations.
