At least that is what I tell myself as I skim through vast quantities of blog posts, media articles, and academic journals on topics like economics, personal finance, science, technology, and history.

Interested readers can join me on my quest for knowledge, learning from content I have recently enjoyed. It appears that many of you share this guilty pleasure, as this page of curated content has become the most popular part of { in·deed·a·bly }.
