I enjoyed reading down your list. Some mentions are well known to me and others I can’t wait until I have a look at. Ask Lynda is invaluable and the vast subject matter never ceases to amaze me. Then there are a few blogs that I love to read and others I want to guest post on. Thanks for the list. Keeping so I can refer back to it. Thank you.

Rachel.

Lynda.com should be included here. It’s a pay site, but very well structured and includes videos for learning all the best software and more. Well worth a subscription.

If only I had the time to go to every one of these sites! I love learning new skills, but there is not enough time in the day to learn everything I want.

I literally make it a priority to learn something new every day. In fact, I make it a goal each month to learn everything I can about two to four new subjects.

I really want to check out Lumosity. I keep hearing about it so it must be something special.

Thanks, I am a do it yourself addict. It was wonderful to discover that the reason some of us are that way, is because we are connected to infinite intelligence in a way that urges us from the inside to believe that we can always find a solution or make it better.

forgot to also mention these two:

Wikipedia!
http://www.wikipedia.org/

About.com
http://www.about.com/

(Also, I love that other person’s comment – #41 – get out and see the world (hands-on experiences maybe are the best way to learn; and some things can’t be learned without first making mistakes )

A few resources not included in the post:

Ted-talks (free online; also on Netflix steaming)
http://www.ted.com/talks

Netflix Steaming – documentaries (not exactly free, but if you subscribe to Netflix steaming anyway for movies/TV shows, the documentaries and ted-talks are great).

Pinterest – other people pin all sorts of tutorials and DIY instructions on every subject imaginable and also recipes – only problem is it is overwhelming the visual stimulation and may cause paralysis – time wasted browsing all the pins)

News Public Radio (free podcast downloads) – http://www.npr.org/

YouTube (tons of how-to/DIY videos and informational videos on every subject imaginable)

Khan Academy – https://www.khanacademy.org/

Coursera – https://www.coursera.org/
-free courses from professors from real Universities; they teach abbreviated/modified versions of courses that they actually already teach in their respective universities, but for free on coursera; some of the classes provide completion certificates; you get the opportunity to interact with the classmates and professor online; free pdf’s of articles are sometimes provided; and recommended (not required) books are sometimes suggested.
