Making learning a lifelong pursuit - Love words? Create a personal lexicon

"Autodidact" as a username was taken for my use in describing this tumblelog, but I think lifelong learning says it just as well.

I have been curious about everything and anything ever since I was a kid, and that interest in learning what there was to know has never waned as an adult.

Tumblr gives me the perfect platform for recording my insights from reading and research and creating a repository of the knowledge I gain on a variety of topics. Best of all, this can then be shared and later accessed by others on their own self-educational quests.

Love words? Create a personal lexicon

It’s great to learn new things, but when you can record this knowledge for continued use, you multiply the benefits. Speaking of tools for this purpose, it came to my attention today that I already have quite a few cool widgets at my disposal to help me, right in my own Apple arsenal, as a Mac owner. Who knew?

Some people collect baseball cards. I collect words. And until today, I wasn’t aware of one fantastic, free tool I discovered to help me gather all of my favorite words into one accessible platform.

One of the handiest widgets for word-lovers to download to their Macs is the Personal Lexicon.
