What: This is where I am going to log interesting stuff from the Web.
Why: I believe that blogs are the best way to extend one's digital memory of useful stuff one finds on the Web. When I find something that I find interesting there is a strong human response to want to share it with someone, yet it's also clear that even good friends may or may not really be interested. Doubtlessly a significant percentage of my past out-of-the-blue emails have not been a good use of friend's time. Even though usually they are too polite to complain the cumulative silence of unreplied emails is getting hard not to notice.
So in order to spare these innocent victims of my own overactive curiosity and abundance of free time I will henceforth send those emails here where anyone is free to stumble upon them (unlikely as that may be) and nobody is ever obligated to ever look unless they so choose. Sending all of this to /dev/null might arguably be a better solution but I'm betting that eventually someone, somewhere, someday will find something useful here.
(What social network can claim to be that considerate of its users? And isn't consideration of others a fundamental of good social behavior?)
