What is interesting?

Some days it's color some days it's central Ohio polotics other days it's nothing. Though I make it sound like it is completely arbitrary I am pretty sure that it is not. I've noticed that the topics tend to ebb and flow based off of what I am doing in both my real life and my work life. The closest likeness I can find is something like Twitter Trends, the same word(s) keep popping up in different ways and in different contexts. It would be interesting to see what it is that I am doing, develop a way to track the data of my apparent random pursuit of interests. Have it display in a tag cloud and be broken down into selectable time frames...
The fist problem I see with this is that there is no singular way that I interact with the current interest I have. One minute it could be what I am reading on the internets and the next could be a conversation I'm having on the phone that is directly after that I pick up an interesting periodical.
I see no real way of being able to tag, relate, and track all of this information without having to work very hard on it. In the end it would take away from the study because the tracking of all the data would leave no time to do what was supposed to be tracked.
See... I'm very easily distracted. This whole thing was not at all what I intended to post about.
What I have been taken by lately is "editing video". It is fun but there is a LOT to learn. I am working on something that I hope to have done soon. Perhaps I will post a follow up.
