Leonardo da Vinci

From Latin encyclopædia - Ancient Greek ἐγκύκλιος παιδεία (enkyklios paideia) - ἐγκύκλιος (enkyklios) "circular, rounded, round" - κύκλος (kyklos) "circle" + παιδεία (paideia) "the rearing of a child", or "education", from παιδίον (paidion) "child".

Encyclopedia comes from our friends the Greeks, and can be taken to mean "rounded education." Leonardo da Vinci, the quintessential Renaissance man, was known for his rounded education. Da Vinci is, for the most part, my inspiration for this blog. He kept journals on most of his learning and on some of the subjects that he pursued. I hope to keep pictorial and literary evidence / information on this site of everything that I learn about so that:

1. You can learn about it too. Sharing information has always been an important part of our society. Just make sure to double check my information!
   
2. I won't forget everything that I learn. Sometimes it's difficult to store all of the day's learning and events into my neurons. These posts will serve as historical records.
3. I can help classmates with any information about homework or daily lessons.
   
   Da Vinci is a grand historical figure in the worlds of both art and science, having been a sculptor, painter, analyzer of anatomy, inventor, and general scientist. His well-roundedness marks him as a great man. I hope that, as the years go by, I can use this blog and other tools / sources to make myself well-rounded.
   
   
4. I will move towards being well-rounded.

If you're interested in or are knowledgeable in any sort of field then I offer that you email me (at my address found on this website) about any sort of information, daily discovery, or random tidbits that you would like to share. Credit will be given where credit is due, of course, and my own personal thanks will go to you.
