Why this blog?
Basically, this is a record of my mental explorations on-line and off… by no means comprehensive; a lot of off-line stuff doesn’t get recorded here, and a lot of online stuff goes through the sieve and never makes it into the blog, though I might forward it on in email… basically, this serves as a handy dandy reference that allows me to go back and dig up the articles and the points within the articles that struck me as significant enough to stand out from all the noise.
