I don’t remember why I subscribed to Citizen Joe, but having another look just now, I clicked on Open Brackets, then on the RTFM button, and then downloaded Manual, a collection of writings including “How to Build a Fence,” “How to Start a Dialogue With a Complete Stranger,” and “How to Make Things Easier for Everyone.”

I think what your original post is really about is the importance of being curious. Most people get too focused on their work and lose their curiosity. On the web it’s easy to be curious; just click.
