The beauty of a blog is the ability to write articles that generate conversation. The downside is that, due to the nature of blog construction and time, so many posts drift off into the aether, never to be seen again. Which is a shame, when many contain the kind of stuff that’s timeless. Yeah, that’s right – I just called my blogging timeless. Wanna have a fight about it?
So, whenever I make a post that generates a lot of discussion, or that contains interesting How-To stuff or similar, I’ll add it to this page. I’ll also periodically repost these links to my social networks, to keep the conversations alive.
