Grateful Web Renaissance People: David Hall
As we stumble about Blogs on the internet, we occasionally
bump against 'uber' folk, Renaissance people; folks who seem to do well at
anything they set their mind to. More fascinating, are those whose interests
vary widely. The artist/mathematician, the eco industrialist/tri-athlete, the
ballet dancer/poet. Blogs showcase these often hidden personalities in a new
light, and allow individual personalities to craft their collection of skills
in unique personal frames, without last centuries “agent.”
One way to find Renaissance people is the Lijit "Explore" feature,
with its visualization of who reads a personality, who this personality reads,
and who they consider peers. Lijit's explore lets us move from person to person
in a continuous organic flow via their chosen connections, and in this way
Grateful Web found David Hall.
From David’s sketches and painting of the Red Deer Ptarmigan, to his writings
about Scotland, to his ability as a programmer (click on one of his prints and
see how his site delivers a display of it) and beyond including photography,
conservation and more, David uses the blog format to provide an impressive and
delightful journey into his imagination and logical prowess.
Remember last
century and home life even 1,000 years ago? Mum and Dad wanted us to find a
trade and become good at it, no side projects. How lucky many of us are today,
to pursue wherever our minds take us, and how lucky we as spectators are in
this age to follow along the paths of other's worlds.
To read about other Renaissance People posted on Grateful Web, try searching “Renaissance” in our Lijit search silly.
