Interesting URLs and quotes I've stumbled over, proudly hosted by de.lirio.us I swore I wouldn't start blogging "traditionally" and I guess I don't. I'm blogging the way Jorn Barger presciently "logged the web", by making notes about sites I visit along the way. (At least that's the plan. No particular ambition or agenda, just a stream of consciousness, collecting "interesting stuff" I've surfed or stumbled across.) Here, I should probably explain how de.lirio.us works, or something, but just click on the link. Click click.

Fundamental bookmarks I reserve this tag for bookmarks I think are essential in some sense. They may not be sites I visit every day, week, or month, but I think they are important, either in topical content, or perhaps in a voyeuristic sense, in that I think the site somehow defines who I am or what I am doing here.
