Why a blog?

Well... I spend an awful lot of time reading things on the internet, linking from page to page as I get into a specific topic.  I often stumble onto interesting (at least to me) and occasionally arcane articles, videos, blogs, etc. that I would like to keep track of somehow and share with others in the process.  I could use Facebook for that I suppose, but I'd like to experiment with posting the links (and sometimes my commentary on them) here and then seeing what happens.  If nobody is really that interested, then this will at least become an archive for my own personal use.  If, on the other hand, like-minded people find their way here and extract some value from this, then so much the better.  I'm not looking to convince anyone of anything or even to express a cohesive viewpoint on a particular topic.  I'm just collecting links to ideas I find exciting and/or important in these times and hoping that like-minded people may someday stumble onto this resource and jump in with their own references and ideas.  Will it work?  Who knows, but I intend to have fun either way.
