I've also started a video series providing further information and some reviews for some of the items listed below. Those videos can be found at: My Best of List: Some of My Influences (Q&A).
Who I Am: An Introduction to chycho and My Work Online for the Last 16 Years, Blogging Since 2005
Introduction
With the advent of the Internet we have seen unfiltered information travel at light-speed across the globe. This global community, functioning as the only true free society, is reshaping our world. Where this interaction and connectivity will lead is yet to be determined, however, the changes are and continue to be unprecedented.
As long as we have open and unbiased access to the Internet chycho.com will remain active, presenting a unique personal perspective and sharing our communal experiences and knowledge, the essence of the Internet.
As for who I am? I believe that our personal perspective is a reflection of our influences; hence, below I have provided some of my influences, both major and minor, from books that I have read, to teachers that I have encountered, to movies and documentaries that I have watched, to music that I have looped, and much more. This list in addition to the animated individual you see before you in the math videos should provide additional insight into my nature.
I hope you enjoy this labor of love.
Peace,
chycho
